Brewery with an amazing pizza place. What is there not to love. Got a white pizza and added ‘shrooms and sausage. Fantastic pairing with their fruited sours and a Märzen.

Being a Brooklyn native, I’m a huge pizza snob, and frankly my experience with pizza in Atlanta has been underwhelming to say the least. I’ve seen that some places in the city tend to lean on the size of their pizzas as almost a gimmick, however their crust is typically bland and the pizza lacks character.
I’m so glad to now have Brainwave in my life to satisfy my pizza cravings. Their crust is sourdough, making it exceptionally flavorful and their topping options are unique and delicious. Their pizza is also pretty affordable, much cheaper than places nearby. My friend was able to get two slices of cheese for $8, which was a great value for an entire meal.
They also offer bar pies and Detroit pan pizzas as well, though I’m partial to the classic New York slice as that’s what I grew up on.
I’ve been in 5-6 times now and I was surprised to see any negative reviews as I believe this place is a true hidden gem. I’ll be eating here as much as I can until Portnoy shows up and there’s a line out the door!

Pizza was really bad. The crust was burnt so badly that I could only eat about 2/3 of the slices. Also, the slices are really small for five dollars a pop. They are about 1/2 of the size of the glide sizes and about 1/3 of the size of a Fellini’s slice. I probably won’t go back since I have glide on the corner, mellow mushroom reopening, and fellinis needs nearby as well. Yall better step it up with yhat much competition nearby.

Went in for a slice. Pizza is mid at best. Taste like cardboard tbh. No flavor.

Finally - a slice that is actually comparable to a NY slice. Highly recommend!!

I am kind of a pizza snob, but this place knocked it out of the ballpark. I travel for a living and this is easily in my top 3 places I have been. We need to get Barstool Pizza out here to rank them. Guarantee that this would rank in the 8’s with El Presidente!

Brain Wave is a MUST visit! The pizza is absolutely delicious. Order the Vodka pie, you won't regret it. Great place to hang for the night as Inner Voice Brewing is in the same space!

Woof. This place did not live up to the hype nor the price. I ordered a sausage and pepperoni and it was-lacking. Lack of toppings and just lack of flavor in general. Crust was super thin, and not in a way that felt intentional. And I ordered (for an extra charge) the hot honey sauce and I’m pretty sure it was just honey (no other spice or heat?). Will not be back.
Atmosphere has improved. Lights are lower, music is louder. Love the plants - it's giving Hidden Gem in Athens vibes. Service is a bit slow but it was busy so we didn't read too much into it. The square pizza was great but as with all food prices, it's steep for just 1 topping pizza that isn't anything wildly different from other pizza shops. Hopefully the Atmosphere changes will push out the people with kids - would be nice to have 1 casual place in Decatur without tables full of unattended children spilling drinks and playing with their food.

One of my new favorite pizza spots in Atlanta! Fresh ingredients and the pizza doesn’t feel heavy or greasy. Everyone on the brainwave team has always been nice and helpful.

This pizza 🍕 was AMAZING! My new favorite place in Atlanta. I saw the Ad for it on my IG and had to try it and boy it did not disappoint. I couldn’t decide so I ordered multiple slices and a Square pizza. The crispiest pizza I’ve had in a while, honestly how a pizza should be! It was delicious, thank you
