In college campuses and towns throughout Georgia and South Carolina, friends gather to enjoy fresh, hand-tossed gourmet pizzas and calzones, pastas, hot wings and appetizers, salads, soups, and hot sandwiches in the appropriately named AMICI, which means “friends” in Italian.

Now Amici will open its first Atlanta location at The Mark, a new 28-story, 230-unit student housing building for Georgia Tech, Georgia State, Emory University and SCAD students located at 955 Spring St. at the corner of 10th St.
