4 new food spots open + coming soon in Birmingham

Birmingham, you may be looking for something to eat after all of those Christmas cookies. With sweet and savory options, check out these new Birmingham businesses that just opened or are coming soon.

1. Cappella Pizzeria | Inverness

When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that’s Cappella Pizzeria. You’re transported to Italy at this spot with wood-fired pizza, classical Italian music and European football games playing on TV. I’m a sucker for a traditional Margherita pizza, so you’ll catch me trying out this new restaurant soon.

“Capella’s cheese, flour, extra virgin olive oil and truffle oil are all imported from Italy, as are its Citterio pepperoni and sopressata. The sausage is made by an Italian family who lives north of Milan. Capella takes pride in using San Marzano tomatoes in its sauce and all natural ingredients in its recipes”

Mehmet Ozbey, Owner, Capella Italian, according to Birmingham Business Journal

4. Flower Betty | Vestavia Hills

Two of my favorite things are together in one spot. Coffee and books are now part of Flower Betty, a flower business, according to Vestavia Voice. With a separate entrance from the flower store, there’s a bookstore with seating and a coffee cart—the perfect place to sip a latte and read a beloved book.
