Neapolitan style pizzeria submits application for building permit.

Two Atlanta natives, who previously worked for Antico Equity Group LLC, a company that bought development rights to Atlanta’s popular Antico Pizza Napoletana, are developing a new restaurant in the Old Fourth Ward neighborhood.

Brothers Hugh and Jason Connerty, are opening a concept similar to Midtown’s famed Antico Pizza, Amy Wenk with the Atlanta Business Chronicle first reported.

Called Ammazza, the 4,900-square-foot pizzeria, at 591 Edgewood Avenue, is set to open in mid-June.

The pizzeria submitted an application for a building permit with City of Atlanta Wednesday to begin the build-out process. An estimated $275,000 will be spent to convert the former office space.
