"Built on Matthew Foster’s viral lemon pepper wet pizza, this brand grew by popping up in almost every corner of Metro Atlanta; after several months operating out of the Municipal Market, it’s now refocused on roaming pop-ups around the city and private events." - Caroline Eubanks
"I cut my teeth doing pop-ups all over Atlanta to build a following and respect the baby steps that came with that growth; although the first location will close, Phew's will continue running pop-ups and catering." - Eater Staff
"Known for a viral lemon pepper wet pizza, the first brick-and-mortar outpost at the Sweet Auburn Municipal Market opened in May and will close at the end of the month. Started in 2020 by Matthew Foster, whose pies took off after a tweet from rapper Killer Mike, Phew’s Pies specializes in handmade pizzas topped with lemon pepper wet wings, oxtails, and ricotta. Signature pies—the Lemon Pepper Wet and Hot Lemon Pepper Wet—use a butter sauce, chopped chicken, and mozzarella, with wings dotting the center. Foster announced the closure on Instagram and says he’ll return to private events and pop-ups for now; he didn’t share a specific reason, noting only that he didn’t set himself or the business up enough to succeed and has no plans for another location." - Henna Bakshi
"If Atlanta was a Neapolitan pizza, what would it taste like? Phew’s Pies, a creative pop-up that regularly hits spots like Steady Hand Beer Co., answers that question with a tasty lemon pepper wings-topped pie. If that’s sold out the next time you’re in the mood, go with the oxtail- and ricotta-covered option or the incredible barbecue sauce-based Jive Turkey. Though the crust could be a pinch crispier, their slices loaded with well-seasoned meats ensure any disappointment is short-lived (check their website for daily locations)." - nina reeder, demarco williams, juli horsford
"Phew's Pies, who showed the world that Atlanta can lemon pepper anything with their creation of the lemon pepper wet pizza, are opening a brick-and-mortar location. They'll land in Municipal Market on Edgewood." - jacinta howard, juli horsford
