Two Cities Pizza Plans Canton Street Restaurant in Roswell

Two Cities Pizza is preparing to bring its New York thin-crust and Chicago deep-dish menu to downtown Roswell, expanding the restaurant’s Georgia presence beyond its established Suwanee location.

The restaurant is planned for 1105 Canton St., a freestanding restaurant building near the northern end of Roswell’s downtown dining district. The address was previously home to Flóga Restaurant.

Roswell’s Alcoholic Beverage License Board unanimously approved Two Cities Pizza Roswell for full alcohol service and Sunday sales on Nov. 5. The approval clears an important operating step but is not the same as permission to open; construction, inspections and remaining business requirements still must be completed.

Hiring has begun for a bar and front-of-house manager. The Roswell recruitment notice calls for training at the Suwanee restaurant before a transition to Roswell in January 2027, suggesting preparations will continue into the new year. An opening date has not been announced.

Two Cities Pizza serves two of the country’s most recognizable regional styles under one roof. Its New York pizzas use a thinner, foldable crust, while the Chicago side of the menu centers on deep-dish pies. Calzones, salads, meatballs, appetizers and a full beverage program round out the current Suwanee menu.

The concept began in Mason, Ohio, in 2015, founded by longtime friends Zach Greves and Sean Spurlock. Its Suwanee restaurant opened in March 2022 at 3433 Lawrenceville-Suwanee Road, bringing the company’s city-versus-city pizza theme to Georgia. Two Cities also operates in West Chester, Ohio, making Roswell its planned fourth restaurant and second in Georgia.

The roughly 4,000-square-foot Canton Street property already includes a commercial kitchen, dining areas, bar space and outdoor seating. Reusing an established restaurant site may give Two Cities a head start on the physical work, although the company has not detailed the renovations planned for Roswell.

For Canton Street, the arrival would add a growing regional restaurant rather than a national chain. It also creates a direct connection between two North Atlanta dining districts, carrying a concept already familiar in Suwanee into Roswell’s walkable downtown.

The alcohol approval and active hiring place the restaurant beyond the early proposal stage. Two Cities Pizza has not yet added Roswell to its public location directory, and diners should not expect service until the company announces a firm opening date.
