The Atomic Lounge

The Pizitiz Food Hall

Downtown Birmingham’s dining hall is back open for business—but with facemasks and other requirements to keep visitors safe. Enjoy just about any cuisine you can think of and also participate in their Pizitz Punch Card competition for a chance at a prize that’s worth $1,000!
