I feel bad for Eddie that he was lured into this debacle. I think these con artists really thought that if they acted like restauranteurs and got the funding to get the first couple stores open they could continue to con people into supporting them. My guess is that the gig is up for them in the Atlanta market and they will take their scam to another city and unfortunately find some other private equity company to back their next B.S. concept.

Also when you walk in from the parking lot and then enter the patio at the first opportunity, you pass 3 doors before you can enter. Both issues need to be fixed.<br /><br />Perhaps you want to hire staff from the Culinary School of AtlantaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-89376163418387207202017-08-20T09:55:40.710-04:002017-08-20T09:55:40.710-04:00He probably couldn't wiggle out of the Sandy S...He probably couldn't wiggle out of the Sandy Springs contract and has no choice but to make it work.

Ultimately the town of Sandy Spring is gonna have to answer for trying force-feed higher density in the corridor. I just don't see enough foot traffic now or in the near term to support the ground-level retail of these midrises, certainly not beyond the odd dry cleaner or such. You know the town hates that the property is bracketed by a Burger King and a McDonald's, but maybe that points a way ahead. Ditch the pizza and go with higher-end sammiches, hoagies, heroes, etc. Still a long-shot for success, however.jeff a. taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12318074644131544308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-51932929753719758532017-08-20T09:06:57.990-04:002017-08-20T09:06:57.990-04:00I REALLY did not like the order process when first...I REALLY did not like the order process when first entering.

Sadly our joy was short-lived. Twice, when picking up "to go" orders, we came home to find the pepperoni and sausage scantly scattered on our pizzas. Hardly any toppings at all. We felt ripped off. We called to complain and were offered nothing. The last time we dined in, about two months ago, our pizzas were delivered with burned (black char) crusts. We showed our food to the manager on duty and she said that these pizzas should never have left the kitchen. New pizzas were made and presented but this made for a very long dinner. I hope that there will be renewed attention to quality. If not, then the newly named pizza place will fail as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
