Pizza joint to take shuttered Virginia-Highland ice cream shop’s place.
Quick-service franchise Marco’s Pizza has plans to heat up space formerly belonging to Ben and Jerry’s in Virginia-Highland.
The once ice cream shop of 15 years, at 798 North Highland Avenue, has sat frozen in time since November 2011. The landlord, Jeff Stein of Stein Investment Group, Wednesday filed plans with City of Atlanta to buildout suite B for a Marco’s Pizza.
Stein and his team have been busy renovating the property after purchasing the building in 2013.
Neighboring space, suite A, what was once a 7,325-square-foot theatre, has not been leased, according to marketing materials for the property.
Marco’s Pizza recently opened stores in Sandy Springs and North Druid Hills.

Hey Libby, Not to be too picky, but the location of this Savi Market is in the Morningside neighborhood, not Virginia-Highland. The northern dividing line between the two neighborhoods is Amsterdam Avenue. North Highland Avenue does include many commercial nodes intermixed with residential blocks. These commercial nodes are interspersed along the corridor from Morningside in the north then south to Virginia-Highland, Poncey-Highland, Inman Park, and Old 4th Ward. Thanks for including the hyphen in Virginia-Highland. Not many reporters get that right. 🙂
