Earlier this month we were able to catch up with the owners of Brooklyn Pizza, Brian and Karen Atkins, and ask them a few questions about their business and themselves as well. Here is the interview.

1) So give our viewers a brief overview of Brooklyn Pizza.

"At Brooklyn Pizza we offer New York Style Pizza, Calzones, Subs, and Spaghetti. We try to give our customers a taste of what we grew up with. That means New York Style made with fresh ingredients, bought locally."

2) Do you have on specials going on right now?

"We currently have a special Tuesday through Friday from 11am-2pm in which you can get 2 cheese slices and a soda for $4.95. Also, on Fridays and Saturdays we offer a Shrimp & Garlic pizza, which has been quite a hit."

3) How do you get involved in the community?

"We try to give back to the community the best we can, whether it is getting involved with fundraisers or contributing to organizations such as the Kingdom Projects and Callaway Humane Society

4) What are your short-term/ long-term goals?

"Well our short-term goals are similar to our long-term goals. We enjoy offering a unique experience to the city of Fulton, and our goal is to be here for the long-term. Simply put, we love it here."

5) What is your perfect day/customer scenario?

"This business is something that we have a passion for. The perfect day means us having a smile on our faces while we keep busy by serving pizza that our customers enjoy. That is the ultimate satisfaction for a business owner."

6) When you have time off, what do you like to do?

"Every once in a while we like to catch a movie, but for the most part we enjoy spending time with our grandkids."

7) Where do you see The Brick District in the future?

"The Brick District has taken some time to build, but all the signs are very encouraging. The DREAM Initiative has greatly helped this area get back on its feet, and we are very confident that The Brick District will be successful for years to come."
