Football season in Georgia is a year-round conversation, and pizza is the official food of game day. Whether you are watching the Dawgs on a Saturday in Athens or the Falcons on Sunday at a mountain sports bar, here is how to make the most of pizza and football in North Georgia.
Blairsville sports bars with pizza menus. Several restaurants in Blairsville have TVs tuned to the game and serve pizza alongside their regular menus. These are not dedicated sports bars, but they accommodate football crowds and have the full pizza menu available during game hours.
Blue Ridge restaurants with game-day pizza specials. Blue Ridge's downtown restaurants often run specials during college football Saturdays and NFL Sundays. The downtown atmosphere during football season is lively without being overwhelming. Arrive early if you want a table near a TV.
Order pizza for your watch party and pick it up at halftime. If you are hosting a watch party at a cabin, call your pizza order in before the game starts and schedule pickup for halftime. Most pizza restaurants will accommodate a scheduled pickup time if you call ahead. This is the most reliable way to get hot pizza during a game without missing the action.
During major Georgia Bulldogs games, most North Georgia restaurants are busier than usual, regardless of whether they show the game. Plan accordingly.
