Harry’s Pizzeria is a concept from Miami, Fla.-based The Genuine Hospitality Group. It was developed by Chef Michael Schwartz, who was named best chef in the South by the James Beard Foundation in 2010.
“Pies feature fresh, chef-curated toppings and a tender, quick-fired crust with integrity, like braised short rib,” says the website for Harry’s Pizzeria.
It’s unclear exactly where the pizzeria would go at Phipps Plaza. A spokeswoman for mall owner Simon Property Group Inc. (NYSE:SPG) could not be immediately reached for comment.
Yet, in previous interviews, the general manager of Phipps said he’s looking to bring new eateries to the front of the mall to replace the former Twist restaurant.
Atlanta Business Chronicle in April reported that Georgia’s first Grand Lux Cafe is also coming to Phipps Plaza, along with other new eateries. Read more here.
Harry’s Pizzeria plans to expand in Georgia over the coming years, Sunil Bhatt, CEO of Harry’s Pizzeria Holdings LLC, said in an announcement about a new location in Florida.
“Opening in Downtown Dadeland is not only exciting in enabling us to reach more people with the better pizza they crave, but it’s a milestone for our company as well as we embark on a multi-year expansion project,” Bhatt said. “Starting that process with multiple South Florida locations will provide us with the foundation we need as we move north in Florida, into Georgia and beyond over the coming years”.
Harry’s Pizzeria today has just three locations in Florida, according to its website.
