About us

A love letter
from our family
to yours.

Al Dente started as one counter and a stack of pizza boxes. We roll the pasta, press the dough to order and cook the sauces down slow. Nothing on the line came out of a bag.

Two dining rooms in Georgia, Duluth and Hoschton, run from the same recipe book. Pizza, pasta, shawarma and wings share the menu, so the table never has to agree. Pull up a chair.

The food

What people come back for

Pizzas pressed to order, pasta baked inside its own bread bowl, and a grill that does not stop at Italy.

Pickup orders are taken on Toast, our ordering partner.
