Kennesaw is known for traditional Italian pizza which is what the pizzerias of this Georgia city like to call their thick and thin-crust pies. The majority of the pizzerias in Kennesaw offer both types of pizza on their menus and while some are tarted up with gourmet toppings, others are kept basic with single ingredient toppings. Both thick and thin-crust pizzas originate from Italy and while there have been some variations over the years, like the introduction of the mega-sized New York-style pie, they are the same now as they were a couple of hundred years ago. Both thick and thin crust are Italian pizzas that are basically just pressed, rolled or hand-tossed bread dough smothered in a tomato sauce and finished with cheese. Totally uncomplicated, but undeniably one of the best things to eat ever.

Dallas

If you made the eighteen-mile journey from Kennesaw to Dallas, in Georgia not Texas, without checking out what there is to do there, shame on you. You'll have found out pretty quickly that there's not a great deal to do in this Paulding County city other than hike or bike a few park trails or explore the Pickett's Mill Battlefield State Historic Site which is more trails running through the woodlands and where there's a rundown wooden shack to add some photographic interest. Don't let the day be a total let-down, end it well by going for a pie at Sal's Pizza on Main Street.
