[WOW] Michelin Recommended, Locally Lauded Pizza Shop to Open in Midtown

With three Atlanta area locations now open and an overall rating of 4.9 stars in more than 12,000 reviews, a fourth Mister O1 Extraordinary Pizza is coming to Midtown Atlanta next spring!      

Following its September 2 debut in Inman Park, a lease was signed for a new Mister O1 at The Juniper (1081 Juniper Street) in Midtown!   

ToNeTo Atlanta first heard of the planned restaurant in late August, but only recently was the lease on the 2,043 square foot space fully executed.  "Coming Soon" signage was also recently installed at the space at the corner of 12th and Juniper Streets where patrons will enjoy a nearly 750 square foot patio, too.  

Chef Renato Viola opened his first pizza shop, then called "Visa O1," in Miami in 2014.  After credit card company Visa threatened a lawsuit, he adopted the "Mister O1" name instead.   

"Chef Renato Viola came to settle in Miami Beach under the O1 visa category, reserved for those with 'Extraordinary Artistic Ability” or internationally acclaimed fame. Recognizing that his talent would be the foundation of a revolutionary pizza joint, he opened Mister O1 with the intention of creating something truly extraordinary."     

The restaurant was included in Michelin's "Recommended" Miami restaurants list in 2022. 

Mister O1 opened its first location in metro Atlanta in March 2025 in Sandy Springs, followed by a Buckhead outpost in July 2025.  The aforementioned Inman Park location debuted in the former Char space on Highland Avenue.  

Metro Atlanta has proven to be a great market for the pizzeria, and more locations are reportedly being considered, including plans for a potential Alpharetta location.    

The Atlanta franchises are being opened by business partners Miguel Blatt, Brandon Weitz, and Daniel Scala.  

Mister O1 joins JuNi, a new Omakase restaurant from chef Yuki Tanaka, as restaurants coming soon to the Midtown apartment highrise.
