New York-based Emmy Squared is entering the Atlanta market this year with its Detroit-style pizza.

The restaurant -- which also has locations in Nashville, Louisville, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C. -- will be located at 475 Bill Kennedy Way SE in Glenwood Park. The space was previously home to the Shed at Glenwood, which closed last year.

Emmy Squared’s Detroit-style pizza is “marked by its square shape, crispy bottom, fluffy dough, cheesy “frico” crust, and signature sauce stripes applied post bake,” according to a press release. In addition to a variety of red and white pizzas, the menu also offers a variety of sandwiches -- including its popular Le Big Matt double-stack burger -- salads, and appetizers.

Emmy Squared, which first opened in 2016 with a small restaurant in Brooklyn, marks a return to Atlanta for CEO and partner Howard Greenstone, who was formerly president and CEO of the now-shuttered Rosa Mexicano in Atlantic Station.
