What happened after Food Paradise?

The episode featured Antico Pizza Napoletana's Neapolitan-style pies, cooked in a wood-fired oven that reaches roughly 900 degrees for a fast, blistered crust. Founder Giovanni Di Palma opened the pizzeria in Atlanta's West Midtown neighborhood, and it has since grown into the larger Little Italia development, which now also houses Gio's Chicken Italiano, Caffe Antico and Bar Amalfi around the original pizza counter. Yelp's listing for the address, updated 2026-09, shows more than 3,900 reviews and over 2,100 photos. Google Places lists the location's business status as operational as of 2026-09-08. Tripadvisor also maintains an active reviews page for Antico Pizza Napoletana at the Atlanta address, alongside the Yelp and Michelin listings.
