The brother partnership of David and Michael Cohen has announced they will be opening Peach State Pizza at Avenue East Cobb on Jan. 9.
The new concept, as we noted in February, focuses on “Southern-style pizza with an emphasis on fresh, local ingredients.”
The menu will include appetizers, salads, sandwiches, and desserts, as well as locally brewed beer, domestics and specialty cocktails.
The space will include 3,650 square feet formerly occupied by Stockyard Burgers and Bones with décor “reflect[ing] the warmth of a Southern farmhouse and the relaxation of a front porch swing, punctuated by vintage photos, signs and artwork of classic Georgia landmarks.
It’s one of the key new restaurant additions to Avenue as it continues its overhaul. Press Waffle Co. is delaying its opening in one of the retail center’s new “jewel boxes” until after the first of the year, but a new opening date hasn’t been announced.
Peach State Pizza also will have two outdoor patios that will have events such as cornhole competitions and live music.
The menu items include plenty of Southern-inspired fare across the board, from a pimiento cheese grit fritters starter (and that we sampled at Avenue’s Plaza celebration in September); green tomato, brisket and pulled pork pizza offerings; and a variety of greens, sides, sandwiches and desserts.
Customers can also “build their own pie” with traditional pizza ingredients.
Peach State Pizza’s opening comes as Drift Fish House and Oyster Bar is winding down operations at Avenue after nearly eight years. The last day of service is Saturday, following an announcement last month by owner Doug Turbush that he would not be renewing his lease.
Elsewhere at Avenue, Tin Lizzy’s is expanding its space for a family-friendly gaming bar and will be opening that early in 2024; a specific timeline hasn’t been announced.
Also coming early next year is the second location of Round Trip Brewing Co., a German-style restaurant and taproom whose concept debut has been successful in the trendy Atlanta Westside foodie scene.
