Napoletana pizzeria joining the mix at the Mall of Georgia

When you're at the Mall of Georgia and get hit with a pizza craving, right now Sbarro is pretty much the only option.

But that's all about to change with the addition of Aliño Pizzeria, "a true Napoletana pizzeria with techniques and ingredients pulled from the best of Italy," according to a news release.

The 6,209-square-foot pizzeria will be located in the Village next to Chico's. The restaurant is expected to be slinging pies done in less than two minutes by Oct. 15, according to the Mall of Georgia website.

Other planned upcoming openings at the Mall of Georgia include Charleys Philly Steaks, the second location of the live room escape game Paranoia Quest and ThinkGeek, which will open its first brick-and-mortar storefront in Georgia. Smokey Bones Bar & Fire Grill opened in August.
