From the pizza aficionado looking for a great slice to the coffee enthusiast on the hunt for a real quality cup o’ Joe, Atlanta is now home to Atwoods Pizza Café, a new pizzeria with a craft coffee program featuring an artsy-meets-industrial upbeat vibe that welcomes “hanging out” in the center of Midtown. Located at the base of The Biltmore, Atwoods Pizza Café makes its debut at the end of April and offers dine in, grab-and-go and delivery for breakfast, lunch and dinner seven days a week, beginning at 7 a.m. on weekdays. Plus, patrons can easily order online via their mobile devices.
The Atwoods Pizza Café menu focuses on their signature spin of classic, cooked-to-order pizzas – hand-friendly, but featuring a thin crust with a developed crumb, nice chew and slight char, as well as soup, salads, sandwiches and subs. Up to 12 pies at a time are baked in an Italian Pavesi Oven with live fire that heats to temperatures of 700 to 800 degrees. The rotating floor’s uniform heat distribution creates a consistent baking quality that delivers a perfectly cooked pizza. Choose from house-designed pizzas like the meat-lovers’ Sho Me Your Roni (pepperoni, fennel sausage, fior di latte, mozzarella, oregano and romano) and vegetarian Googootz (grilled zucchini, fior di latte, mozzarella, ricotta cream, garlic confit, lemon, mint and olive oil), or build your own with both traditional and unique toppings, such as rapini, Calabrian chilies, Brussels sprouts and preserved lemon.
For breakfast, Atwoods Pizza Café’s mouth-waterig bites include savory delights, such as bread-pudding French toast with Savannah bourbon syrup; a buttermilk-fried chicken biscuit with sweet-pepper jelly, fontina cheese and a fried egg; and four different varieties of a breakfast sandwich. What’s more, every effort is made to source local ingredients, including honey from Hometown Honey in Kennesaw and grass-fed-cow yogurt from Atlanta Fresh Yogurt, which will be in the Parfection that comes with house-made granola and fresh berries.
Elevating the typical pizzeria’s beverage options, the menu also incorporates four craft beers on draft (such as Abita Amber and Boulevard Single Wide), a handful of canned tallboys (such as Blue Moon and Red Stripe) and three red and white wines by glass and bottle. Plus, Atwoods Pizza Café serves hand-crafted Boylan Soda in flavors like orange, black cherry and ginger ale.
Atwoods Pizza Café is a collaboration by restaurateurs Bill Streck, Rob Caswick, Jeff Newsham and Dave Pazienza, and Chef Rob Phillip. It will be open from 7 a.m. to midnight Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to midnight on Saturday and 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Sunday. The new pizzeria and café is located in the heart of Midtown Atlanta on the corner of West Peachtree and 6th Street on the street-facing floor of The Biltmore building at 817 West Peachtree Street, Suite A105, Atlanta, GA 30308. Parking is available on West Peachtree Street and 6th Street as well as within The Biltmore’s parking deck accessible via 5th Street. For more information, call 404.748.9577 or visit www.atwoodspizza.com. Stay connected on Twitter and Instagram at @atwoodspizza and on Facebook at Facebook.com/AtwoodsPizza.
