  • Announcing Pizza Crosta – Opening April 2015

    Pizza Crosta - Lo Res Logo

    Atlanta’s latest pizza concept, Pizza Crosta, will open in mid to late April, offering diners a new pizza destination and also introduce a new concept to the city with an exclusive dipping station for the pizza crusts. The station, similar to a salsa bar, will feature fresh spices, a variety of oils, dips and more so guests can enjoy the crust as much as the cheese-covered pizza itself.

    Pizza Crosta is owned and operated by the same team as Buckhead Pizza Company and Sam Abdullah. The new concept will uphold Buckhead Pizza Company’s value of fresh ingredients, budget-friendly pricing and superior customer service while also establishing itself as a new brand and addition of the crust station.

    “We have always been known for our incredible pizza crust, fresh ingredients and consistently great pizzas, and we decided with our new concept to uphold that quality product,” said Abdullah. “Now guests can further enjoy our delicious crust with their individual choices of dips and sauces.”

    Pizza Crosta will be counter-service where guests place their custom pizza orders at the counter and add toppings to personalize their pizza. Each pizza is then prepared by-hand and baked in the open fire oven, the main focal point of the restaurant. As the pizza bakes, guests can place orders for additional sides including a variety of fresh salads, sides including garlic knots plus a selection of wine, local beer and more.

    Each individual pie is available in a 10-inch size and will be priced around $8 to $10 per person for simpler ingredients and also available for a la carte topping additions. With something for everyone, pizza selections range from basic pepperoni, sausage, veggie, margherita and more, and also more flavorful options like grilled buffalo chicken, artichoke heart with rosemary, garlic, olive oil, fresh tomato and pesto drizzle.

    Pizza Crosta is scheduled to open in a few weeks with a firm opening date to soon be announced. In the near future, Pizza Crosta will also offer catering and carry-out dining services.
