American Pasta Factory

It's a fast in and out pasta place. They make their pasta from scratch which is pretty cool. You can order from a screen or go to the cashier and order. Pasta wasn't terrible but nothing different. We also got the pizza and it was okay. Definitely get the pasta over the pizza. I will say the tiramisu we got was frozen so I couldn't really enjoy it.

Once you place your order they'll call you up to get your tray. If you need salt/pepper or Parmesan you have to get it by the register (wasn't a fan of that, should be at the tables already)

Overall, it was an alright place to stop and get some quick Italian food.

MR says ....this is our go to place for fresh pasta


MRS says .... Since they have added pizza in the menu it definitely allowed us to have a bit more variety and options. The challenge sometimes is which carb load to order.

The self service ordering screen can take a while to complete and take time when others don't know what to get. Lines can quickly queue up and remember they cook made to order so plan on waiting.



KID says ...one of the best places to eat pasta and eat Nutella cookie which tastes amazing. I recommend build your own pasta and get rigatoni pasta with chicken in tomato sauce and basil and garlic with Parmesan cheese.

This was my first time visiting this restaurant. It's a small casual spot. You put in your own order on the screen. I selected the Build Your Own Pasta with spaghetti noodles, Alfredo sauce, with Italian sausage, chicken, and a couple of other toppings. You get a quite a few free toppings. The pasta was cooked to order. The staff was super friendly. There was plenty of parking.
Oh, and I went back the next day! Lol.
The only thing I changed was noodles. I got fettuccine instead of spaghetti. And I grabbed a freshly baked NUTELLA cookie, yum.

Phenomenal !!!!

The pasta was cooked to perfection with a wonderful bite. Pizza was delicious and prices were fantastic.

You order via screens when you get in and you pick up your food at the counter - the staff was nice and friendly.


Lots of seating available and parking is available at their own lot so plenty of spaces available. Music was great at this place

Overall a fantastic meal for the price

A great place for a weekend dining with some great lighting and amazing hospitality with some great food. Plenty of options and it was so delicious.

Happen to go on a Friday and it wasn't crowded at all. The staffs were extremely friendly and the Pizza maker came all the way to help us with their Self Ordering options available and explaining us if there were any questions.

We built our own Pasta and ordered the Veggie Bianco Pizza along with Tiramisu.

Pasta - We built the Rigatoni pasta with Alfredo sauce and some veggies. The salt was actually on the lower side and yes there was an option to Bake as well (would have loved to but didn't notice until after I placed the order). The veggies were cooked well and the cream of Pasta sauce was reasonably good.

Veggie Bianco Pizza - The thin crust pizza was very good with the veggies on top. It wasn't hard like how most places serve a thin crust. Nicely baked and with the toppings I liked it. Didn't feel like an Italian one but there was something different in it.

Tiramisu - Not the greatest of Tiramisu but it's ok to give a try. Loved the subtle coffee flavor but it was just very usual and normal.

A very cozy ambience located very much close to the Alpharetta downtown. Great for a cool weekend evening. Has ample parking space on both sides of the restaurant with a very lit and beautiful interiors. Extremely nice and knowledgeable waiters/ cooks who were able to guide us with the best combinations.

OVERALL: A cute and welcoming restaurant in the heart of the city with some great options in Pasta and Pizza. Would recommend this place to go along with your friends to have a nice time in the evening. Friendly staffs.

MY PICKS FOR YOU: Build your own Pasta, Veggie Bianco.

I think American Pasta Factory is a great place for fresh and fast Italian food made after you place your order. Don't expect any dishes other than pasta, pizzas, salads, and limited varieties of breads (as sides), drinks, beers, wines and desserts. You will, however, find a nice variety of fresh toppings to select from.

Parking is easy to find. American Past Factory is a fast casual standalone business with its own free parking lot. The dining area inside is spacious and offers lots of places to sit. There is also an outdoor patio with some tables for customers who want to dine al fresco. Customers go through the queue, first passing by the area where pastas are made, then to the order counter where they place their orders. Customers can easily see just about all of the toppings. After ordering, customers can stick around in line just to watch the chefs create their entrees. Customers then pay at the register at the end of the line. The self serve beverage dispensers are near the register. Customers can then sit wherever they care to dine. American Past Factory has kids pasta meals. Customers can order build their own pasta, pizza and salad creations, or they can order pasta, pizza and salad entrees having pre-determined ingredients and toppings in/on them. This business has enough seating to accommodate large groups; however, I don't think they can handle cooking a lot of entrees at the same time due to limited staffing.

R and I came here during lunch. We both ordered the build your own pasta. R built his with rigatoni pasta, sausage, garlic, sun dried tomatoes, parmesan, mushrooms and basil, with aglio and oglio sauce (garlic, red pepper flakes and extra virgin olive oil). I built my own pasta with fettuccini pasta, Alfredo sauce, and chicken, black olives, mushrooms, garlic and parmesan. We both got a slice of toasted bread with our meals. Looking at the pricing, we also got a pretty good deal in the form of the combo, which included a drink.

We ate inside and thoroughly enjoyed our creations, which were perfectly made, hot, delicious and filling. We would definitely consider eating here again if we are in the area in the future.

Came here for lunch and brought my 4 kids with me.
When we walked in, we were the only people and were greeted and helped the whole way through our service. The inside is very spacious and clean too!

The kids were dying to try the spaghetti and meatballs and I was indecisive so ofc the only way to go is fettuccine Alfredo.
I asked the three oldest to rate this place as well! The oldest (7) gave it a 2 stars because the sauce wasn't saucy. It was more of just tomatoes with a bit of sauce, but she loved the bread! The middle (5) loved every bit of it and def would order it again. The youngest middle (3) also loved it! He especially loved the meatball. I on the other hand wasn't a fan of the spaghetti sauce. It was a little too bland and salty for me.
My Alfredo was okay. I loved the chicken, sauce, and broccoli. I'm not sure if I had to pay extra for the broccoli, but if I did, it def wasn't enough At all. I wasn't a fan of the pasta, it felt as if it wasn't cooked long enough and so it was more doughy. But the kids loved my pasta. They actually said they would order it next time instead of their spaghetti. The bread was really amazing tho haha!
I would come back to give the pizza a try! Great place for family lunch.

I agree with other reviews, this place is underrated!

It's very nice inside, with plenty of seating but not full of customers. There's parking on both sides of the restaurant too.

Everything is self-service, you order at the two kiosks in the front and then they text you/announce your number when your order is ready.

I did expect it to come out faster than it did, but they also seemed to have a lot of to-go orders at the time.

What we didn't know was that we could have just gotten seated and then ordered from the QR code on the table.

I did the make your own pasta. The pasta tasted chewy like it was fresh, and it was yummy. There are so many toppings to choose from! I personally was not a huge fan of the vodka sauce or the sausage, so I'd probably opt more for a chicken alfredo next time. I enjoyed the bread. It came out to be about $13, pretty reasonable price!

I do wish they had cheese that you could help yourself to, I prefer more cheese on my pasta.

Would definitely come again!

Great place for a casual dinner. Pasta of course, pizza & salads. Order at the open view kitchen & pay. Plenty of seating: tables. Booths & even outdoor. We had the spaghetti & meatballs & a build your own pizza! The pizza I had was 10" & delicious. The Parmesan cheese on top made it & the amount of toppings, sauce & crust were all very good. Hubby had spaghetti & meatballs & tiramisu! He liked it all as well. To go boxes available & you can also order online & pick-up. Very clean inside & owner is onsite & cares about his customers, will be back & recommend trying this out!

I'm glad we finally tried this place. You basically create your own pasta using various sauces, veggies, and proteins. The pasta is made in-house, and you can tell it's high quality.

We have tried a few different pastas including fettuccine Alfredo, baked rigatoni, and squash pasta. Everything has been really good.

There isn't much ambiance inside, but it's a nice place to have a quick family dinner. They also do kids eat free on Wed nights.
