Stevi B’s Pizza Buffet

Stevi B’s Pizza Buffet began in 1996 in Atlanta, Georgia, with a focus on serving families and groups through an all-you-can-eat pizza buffet. The brand quickly gained popularity in the Southeast, offering a range of specialty pizzas alongside salads and desserts at an accessible price point. By the late 2000s, Stevi B’s had grown into a regional chain, operating more than 40 locations across Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, and Florida. Its menu featured distinctive items like loaded baked potato and macaroni & cheese pizzas, which helped set it apart in a crowded market.

A major milestone for the company was the launch of its franchise program in the early 2000s, which fueled rapid expansion and attracted multi-unit operators. At its peak, Stevi B’s was a familiar anchor in suburban shopping centers, known for large-format buffet restaurants designed to accommodate families, parties, and community gatherings.

Over the past five years, Stevi B’s has experienced significant contraction. Facing increased competition from national pizza brands and the rise of fast-casual and delivery-focused concepts, the company gradually closed most of its stores. As of November 2025, Stevi B’s operates just three locations, all independently run and located in Georgia. The brand is no longer opening new sites, and its parent company, ACG Pizza Partners, LLC, has stepped back from active management. The company’s website and social media channels remain inactive, underscoring its reduced footprint.

Stevi B’s legacy is notable for its use of large retail spaces in high-traffic suburban centers, flexible dining layouts, and a format that catered to groups and events. For landlords, brokers, and developers, the brand’s history provides a clear example of the operational needs and real estate characteristics associated with buffet-style restaurants. The trajectory of Stevi B’s over the past decade also reflects broader shifts in consumer dining habits and the challenges faced by traditional buffet concepts in adapting to a changing market.
