Italian restaurant and wine bar Millie’s Pizzeria will open March 21 as a stand-alone restaurant adjoining Politan Row in the Forum Peachtree Corners development.
The eatery is located at 5133 Peachtree Parkway and draws inspiration from the classic Italian American “red sauce joints,” according to a news release, with pizza, pasta, sandwiches and offerings for kids.
Menu highlights include classic pizzas like pepperoni, sausage and peppers and a house pizza with mozzarella, burrata, salami, artichoke, sun-dried tomato and balsamic glaze; charcuterie; salads; appetizers like burrata and homemade focaccia; pasta dishes including meatballs and spaghetti and tableside cacio e pepe; and panuozzo, or Neapolitan-style pizza dough sandwiches.
The drink menu will include beer, an approachable wine list and classic Italian cocktails like an aperol spritz, a negroni and a garibaldi.

Politan Row called up some of its own talent to open Millie’s Pizzeria. The Italian restaurant is helmed by Luis Mendez of Bucatini Ristorante and Benton Bourgeois of Jojo’s Beloved Cocktail Lounge. Mendez runs Bucatini at Politan Row at Ashford Lane in Dunwoody, while Bourgeois operates Jojo’s at Politan Row at Colony Square in Midtown.
Architecture firm Bell Butler designed Millie’s Pizzeria to feel like “visiting an Italian Nonna’s cozy home,” according to a news release, with eclectic decorations and photos, hand painted signage, a striped awning outside and a mix of bar, tabletop and booth seating. A patio and green space also offer several café tables.
Bell Butler previously worked on the Politan Rows at Ashford Lane and and Colony Square as well as Okay Anny’s, the cocktail bar located in the back of Politan Row at Ashford Lane, and the 70s-themed Jojo’s Beloved Cocktail Lounge.
