Nick and Alison St. Clair have done it again! Their latest restaurant opening (which fortunately for ME is right around the corner from my home!) is a pizza place. Peyton's Pie (named after their adorable son, Peyton) is not your ordinary pizza place however - it is magnificent pizza! As I told Nick when I first ate here, "Move over Antico, there's a new sheriff in town!" It's THAT good.
They're located in a strip center near a Starbucks on Peachtree Industrial Blvd in Suwanee. It's a no-frills restaurant where much of the business is take out, but they have seating indoors and outdoors. But you don't go there for atmosphere and ambience - IT'S THE PIZZA!
Nick began test-driving the perfect pizza in his backyard pizza oven, and over time he has created A. The perfect pizza crust, B. Absolutely the perfect tomato base sauce and C. A delectable assortment of toppings that are to die for!
The menu is basic - a couple of salads, pizza and a few desserts. But what more do you need?
As you walk into the sparse restaurant, there are 2 pots of fresh basil and other herbs. Love that.
Here's their pizza oven:

The salad choices are pre-made and in a refrigerated cooler by the cash register when you walk in the door. I went with their mixed green salad with crumbled blue cheese, pecans, pears and a fabulous lemon truffle vinaigrette. It's the perfect start to accompany their pizza.
The tomato sauce is killer - I LOVE a good tomato sauce! And then there's fresh basil, fresh mozzarella - AAAAHHHHH!!! Each bite of the pizza is a flavor explosion in your mouth!
We also sampled his tiramisu - and naturally, it was fabulous as well. We almost ate the entire thing before I remembered to snap a pic:
He is in the process of opening another location in the Flowery Branch/Gainesville area.
