ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) — If you’re headed to State Farm Arena for the Hawks’ home opener, expect a few new food options.

The arena is adding Bocado Pizza near Section 109 and Irie Mon Caribbean Café in Section 219.

Bocado Pizza was recognized as Atlanta Magazine’s Best New Restaurant in 2024 for its wood-fired Neapolitan-style pizza.

“This partnership is a fantastic opportunity to share our commitment to quality, handcrafted sourdough wood-fired pizza with fans and guests while supporting two iconic Atlanta institutions,” Brian Lewis, Bocado Pizza’s founder, said.

This will be Bocado Pizza’s second location.
