Buckhead: Pizza Fusion

I was in Buckhead today at lunch time and decided to go with the pizza theme, so I tried Pizza Fusion.  It's on Peachtree (is there any other street in Atlanta?).  They stress their organic ingredients, their use of hybrid and electric vehicles to deliver pizza, etc.  Their individual pizza has a more artisanal feel.  It has an irregular shape and edge; the shape reminds me of some of the pizzas I've had in Italy.  The pizza itself was fine, but it didn't give me a kick.  Organic foods that come from local, small farms usually have much richer flavors.  (One could say the same of non-organic foods from local farms.)  But not all organic food is grown by a lone hippie standing knee-deep in chemical-free mud.  Much of the organic food one finds today is industrially grown and has some of the same drawbacks as any industrial farm product.  While organic techniques may confer some advantages, better taste necessarily one of them.
