Pizza is going high-tech with the entry of PizzaForno in the Atlanta market. Aiming to be one of the best pizza places in Atlanta, the company, known as North America’s first 24/7 automated pizzeria, is expanding into Georgia.
PizzaForno is opening three locations in metro Atlanta with the first one set to be in Atlanta’s popular Buckhead neighborhood at 3861 Roswell Road. The two additional locations will open around metro Atlanta later in May.
When Is PizzaForno Opening In Buckhead?
A Grand Opening event will take place at the 3861 Roswell Road location in Atlanta’s popular Buckhead neighborhood on Saturday, May 6.
The opening event is from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. and will feature free pizza, family-friendly music, games, freebies and giveaways. Prizes will be given for games and an “Enter to Win” contest drawing will be held for two lucky winners to win free pizza for an entire year.
The three entrepreneurs responsible for this expansion are business partners Tyler Young, Paul Nair and Mick Patel. Young has always had a passion for the restaurant industry, and started running restaurants when he was in college. Paul is the founder and owner of Savi Provisions, a neighborhood spot for organic foods, wine, spirits, and sandwiches. Mick Patel is Director of Business Development and Franchise Owner of Savi Provisions. The three were always interested in technology and innovation in the restaurant space and were immediately drawn to PizzaForno.
“One of the biggest issues I’ve seen with all my time in the restaurant industry is labor retention,” said master licensee Tyler Young. “With PizzaForno, we solve that problem. Not only are we offering a high-quality, fresh product, but we are able to offer it 24/7 without worrying about staffing.”
The trio are passionate about bringing this dining option to the area, and plan to install units in universities, hospitals and anywhere else that people would benefit from convenient, 24/7 access to their product. While they plan to open five units throughout the year, they hope to bring a total of 50 to the area.
Final Bite
PizzaForno currently has 61 operating locations and over 500 additional locations committed in the U.S. alone, with the first 50 U.S. locations already established in Michigan, Texas, and Louisiana. Now it’s time for Georgia residents to get hooked.
From chi-chi eateries to food halls, Atlanta has a wide assortment of places to eat.
