Smyrna-based Italian favorite recognized for culinary excellence, community impact, and perfecting a timeless classic.

SMYRNA, GA — Zucca Bar & Pizzeria, a beloved pillar of the Smyrna Market Village for over two decades, is proud to announce it has been honored with the 2026 Click360 Award for Best Chicken Parmesan in the Nation. This prestigious accolade recognizes Zucca’s unwavering commitment to quality, its mastery of Italian-American comfort food, and its role as a vital community gathering space.

The Click360 Awards celebrate organizations that demonstrate exceptional leadership, innovation, and service within their industries. This year, the "High Five" series focused on culinary institutions that elevate classic dishes. Zucca Bar & Pizzeria secured the top honor by outperforming competitors across the country with its signature Chicken Parmesan—a dish praised for its hand-breaded, tender cutlets, house-made marinara, and perfectly melted cheese.

"Receiving the Click360 Award for the nation's best Chicken Parmesan is a testament to the passion our team pours into every plate," said Tim Langell, co-founder of Zucca Bar & Pizzeria. "For 20 years, we’ve focused on being more than just a restaurant; we wanted to be the heart of Smyrna. To be recognized on a national level for a dish that our regulars love is a truly rewarding milestone for the entire Zucca family."

While Zucca claimed the top prize, the 2026 High Five list also recognized four other elite competitors for their excellence in the category:

Carmine’s (New York, NY): Renowned for its massive, family-style portions and iconic Italian-American hospitality.

Crust (Miami, FL): Noted for its unique panko-breaded preparation and generous servings.

Giuseppe and Sons (Philadelphia, PA): Celebrated for an elevated, refined take on the traditional recipe.

Dan Tana’s (Los Angeles, CA): A historic Hollywood staple famous for its "Chicken Parmigiana alla Nikola."

Zucca Bar & Pizzeria distinguishes itself not only through its award-winning menu but through its atmosphere. With a spacious outdoor patio, a lively bar featuring over 20 rotating taps, and a reputation for the best New York-style pizza in the region, Zucca has created a destination where culinary excellence meets neighborhood warmth.

As Zucca looks toward its third decade of service, this award marks a significant achievement in its mission to bring authentic flavors and a welcoming spirit to every guest.
