Atwoods Pizza Cafe

It’s good to know places like Atwoods when you want a quick meal but crave something fresher and better than chain pizza takeout. This small pizzeria and pasta stop is glaringly void of any glitz once associated with the 5th Street Biltmore building in which it sits. Instead, a few murals with subtle nods to pop culture, Georgia Tech flags, a couple of small TVs, and giant bags of Caputo 00 flour accessorize the space. But where scene is lacking, a speedy, counter service operation comes through for the benefit of hungry Tech students and Midtown workers. Just listen out for your names over the easy rock tunes, so you can pick up your delicious hand-breaded mozzarella sticks and solid mushroom pizza.
