How One Atlanta Restaurant is Thriving During COVID-19
Located inside the Sweet Auburn Market in downtown Atlanta, Carlo’s Pizza recently became an overnight sensation after a social media review from Barstool Sports.
For the Accardi family, the review could not have come at a better time. In just a few months, the restaurant received orders from customers in all 50 states, ultimately selling over 40,000 pizzas.
In this video, Johnny Accardi joins me to discuss what the review meant to the family and their business during this unprecedented time.

Get to know Georgia State sports through food
During my time at The Signal, I brainstormed and produced the Lunch With feature series. Whether it was a meal at The Varsity or a kick around at the soccer complex, the series takes readers inside the minds of Georgia State athletes, fans and athletics officials.
Inspired by the late Anthony Bourdain, the goal was to sit down with as many members of the Georgia State athletics family as possible, share a meal and conduct a more informal interview about anything from sports to life itself.
You can find some of the best pieces linked below.
For Soccer in the Streets, soccer is more than just a game
Soccer in the Streets has developed into one of Atlanta’s most sought after soccer programs. The group aims to empower and develop the city’s youth through the help of the beautiful game.
Utilizing MARTA stations as their main hubs of play, the organization is perhaps one of the most unique you can find in the United States.

Vazha Shubladze: From Georgia to Georgia State
With a team-best record of 9-6, freshman star Vazha Shubladze has been a standout on this year’s men’s tennis team. Hailing from Georgia – the country, not the peach state – his story is the kind that makes us all proud to be Georgia State panthers.
Maybe you are unfamiliar with his home country. Geographically speaking, it is an eastern European nation located on the Black Sea, sharing borders with Russia, Turkey, Armenia and Azerbaijan. Situated in a vital crossroads between Europe and the Middle East, it is a world away from Shubladze’s new home in Atlanta.
Culturally speaking, it is a former Soviet republic with an ancient history, a proud people and as Vazha describes, great food.
“Food is the first thing I miss from my country,” Shubladze said. “One of the best dishes is Georgian dumplings, everyone loves them.”
Currently in his freshman year, Shubladze arrived in January.
“I was actually talking to quite a few schools,” he said. “[Georgia State] offered a really good scholarship, and I really liked the program, so I thought it would be a good school for me.”
His parents, Zamiri Shubladze and Maka Simchikori, watched as their lone child travelled over 6,000 miles to continue his tennis career and further his education. The reality was not easy at first.
“I don’t have any brothers or sisters,” he said. “I am the only child. They were a little bit sad, but they knew it was best for my future.”
For Shubladze, tennis has always been an important part of his life.
“I started playing tennis when I was seven,” he said. “Tennis is not great in Georgia, so you have to put in a lot of work and finances to make it.”
He credits much of his success to his parents and their willingness to let him follow his dreams. Head coach Jonathan Wolff was quick to praise his freshman star.
“As a coach, I really couldn’t ask for more,” Wolff said. “He’s been kind of the glue that has held the team together.”
With a number of stellar victories against tough players this season, including three-set wins over a nationally-ranked opponent from Georgia Tech and a conference rival from Texas Arlington, Shubladze made his mark immediately on the team.
“Here, tennis is completely different,” Shubladze said. “You are playing for a school, for a team and for your coaches, so there is a lot of pressure. It is hard to get used to, but when you win it is a completely different feeling than when you are playing just for yourself. It is a really good experience.”
Today, Shubladze needs the support of crutches to walk, as a result of a recent torn meniscus injury picked up against Troy in March. His outlook, however, continues to remain positive.
“It is just part of sports,” Shubladze said. “I have to cheer for my teammates now, unfortunately, but I believe in them.”
He’ll undergo surgery. Depending on the severity, the recovery time could be anywhere from six weeks to six months.
But there is much more to Shubladze than his tennis swing. The man has a bright personality with a smile that can capture the room. He is proud to talk about his life story, making sure to include a joke or two for good measure.
“He is always in a friendly mood,” Wolff said.
And like so many of us, Shubladze is a big fan of food, all things Game of Thrones and basketball.
“I will have a lot of time to watch Game of Thrones since I do not practice anymore,” Shubladze said.
