set to arrive late summer 2015. The Midtown location of Urban Cannibals will be

The team behind Buckhead Pizza Company has opened Pizza Crosta at 5590
Roswell Road in Sandy Springs. The new concept offers a dipping station for the
pizza crusts. The station, similar to a salsa bar, features fresh spices, a variety of oils,
dips and more so guests can enjoy the crust as much as the cheese-covered pizza
itself. For more information, visit pizzacrosta.com.
Mary S. Moore, founder and CEO of The Cook’s Warehouse, has closed the
Brookhaven location of the retail outlet with plans to relocate it elsewhere. Moore
said, “We opened our second store in Brookhaven in 2002. This location has not
kept up with the growth of our other stores - Midtown, Decatur and East Cobb.
With a growing need for additional retail and teaching space, as well as increased
demand for parking with better ingress/egress, I determined it best to not resign
our lease.
