Your Pie, the original fast-casual pizza concept, opens in Cumming on April 26 at 655 Atlanta Rd., Ste 607. The brick-oven pizzeria offers a customizable, down-the-line experience at nearly 70 stores nationwide.
This is the third location for local franchisees Justin and Jacob Patterson, who also own Your Pie stores in Milton and Roswell. For the brothers, the new store represents a homecoming of sorts. Both graduates of South Forsyth High School, Justin, and Jacob Patterson grew up five minutes down the road from their new restaurant and recall fond memories of team dinners after sports games when space was home to Cici’s Pizza.
“It feels very serendipitous that we should open our Cumming location in this particular space,” said Justin Patterson. “We have great memories of gathering around the table with friends and family here, and it just feels right that it should be home to a new—albeit elevated—pizza experience. Having watched this space sit vacant for two years, we’re excited to breathe new life into it and usher in a new era of fostering community connections over great food and great company.”
Prior to its official grand opening, Your Pie Cumming will host ‘Dine and Donate’ events on April 22, 23 and 24 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 5 to 7 p.m. During each event, the restaurant will serve free pizzas for up to 200 registered guests and collect monetary donations on behalf of No Longer Bound, a local non-profit dedicated to the rescue and rehabilitation of those struggling with addiction.

“Sadly, Forsyth County is on the periphery of what is known as the ‘heroin triangle’ in Georgia,” said Jacob Patterson. “Many people who grew up in this area, Justin and myself included, know of individuals and families who are victims of this terrible epidemic. This cause is very close to our hearts, and we knew we wanted to align our restaurant with a local organization that was working to help. We’re thrilled to partner with No Longer Bound for our Dine and Donate and look forward to supporting the community well beyond our grand opening.”
Your Pie was founded in 2008 by culinary entrepreneur Drew French, who aimed to create an innovative restaurant concept offering high quality, brick-oven pizza at incredible speed. Your Pie began franchising in 2010 and now shares its mission with more than 70 stores across the United States, with about 50 locations in development.
While family recipes and Italian culture helped lay the foundation for its processes and exceptional quality, Your Pie has continued to build upon this foundation with new ingredients, innovative recipes, and endless choices to create a one-of-a-kind experience with traditional roots, but a flair all its own.
Your Pie uses hand-tossed dough, only fresh ingredients, homemade pizza sauces, and salad dressings, and offers vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free pizzas in addition to its traditional pizzas, chopped salads, and paninis. All menu items, including its rotating seasonal menu, are inspired by family recipes from the Italian island of Ischia. The store also offers craft beer, wine and Italian-style gelato pairings designed to perfectly compliment guests’ custom pizza creations.
“At Your Pie, we believe that food can be fresh, fast, delicious and experiential,” said Founder and President Drew French. “We want to be the go-to fast-casual restaurant where families, friends, colleagues, and groups can gather, dine and share memories without having to share pizzas. We’re excited for the opportunity to bring the original fast casual, individualized pizza concept to Cumming and the surrounding communities.”
Your Pie Cumming is located at 655 Atlanta Rd, Suite 607, Cumming, GA 30040 and can be reached at 678-341-9023. For more information, visit www.yourpie.com.
