Washington, D.C.-based &pizza, the fast-casual chain known for its oblong pies and amped-up shop vibe, is planning to land at The Interlock in West Midtown. The new outpost will drop the brand into the middle of a dense mix of restaurants and entertainment spots within the nine-acre mixed-use development.
According to the Atlanta Business Chronicle, &pizza has secured space at The Interlock, with the paper noting this as the first local report to tie the expanding pizza brand directly to the West Midtown complex.
&pizza bills itself as a D.C.-born fast-casual concept built around fully customizable, oblong pies and an intentionally loud, high-energy atmosphere, as outlined on the company’s website. The chain kicked off a franchising push in 2025 as part of a larger growth strategy, industry coverage reports, with Fast Casual and &pizza offering additional background on that expansion plan.
Where It Will Sit In West Midtown
The Interlock promotes itself as a vertical mixed-use destination at 1115 Howell Mill Road, combining office space, a hotel, restaurants and entertainment venues, according to the property’s website. Leasing information and local write-ups point to a tenant list that already leans into experiential and chef-driven concepts, putting &pizza in a setting that can pull from office workers, hotel guests and event traffic. CityBiz and The Interlock outline the mix of occupants in the complex.
That backdrop carries some weight. West Midtown has seen a steady churn of openings and closures in recent seasons, with observers pointing to factors such as parking constraints, rising rents and evolving weekday foot traffic patterns as part of the story. Coverage of neighborhood parking headaches and their impact on local restaurants helps frame the market &pizza is stepping into, with Axios and other regional food reporting documenting those pressures.
For now, neither &pizza’s public locations list nor The Interlock’s online directory includes a firm opening date or an active Atlanta entry, so the exact timing remains to be announced. This story will be updated once an opening date, precise suite information or menu specifics for the Interlock shop are released. The current status of the project is reflected on the &pizza locations page and in the Interlock directory.
