Young Harris is a small town on Highway 76 between Blairsville and Hiawassee. It is home to Young Harris College, which keeps the local restaurants in business during the academic year, and it sits at the base of Brasstown Bald, Georgia's highest peak, which brings a steady stream of hikers and sightseers.
The pizza options in Young Harris are more limited than in Blairsville or Blue Ridge, but the quality is solid. Restaurants here serve both the college crowd — which means reasonable prices and generous portions — and tourists heading to the Brasstown Bald overlook. The atmosphere tends to be casual, with an emphasis on takeout and quick service.
During the college academic year (August through April), the restaurants benefit from a dependable local customer base that keeps quality consistent. In the summer months, the businesses shift toward serving tourists and Brasstown Bald visitors. The transition is smooth and most places maintain consistent hours year-round.
If you are visiting Brasstown Bald and want pizza afterward, Young Harris is the closest option. The drive from the parking lot at the top of the mountain takes about fifteen minutes. Call ahead so your order is ready when you arrive.
