Levy has operated as the official food, beverage and hospitality partner for State Farm Arena for more than 20 years.
The menu additions for the upcoming season include specialty burgers, nachos, crafted mocktails and dirty sodas. Levy also contributes to the venue’s sustainability initiatives, including zero-waste program efforts.
The expansion includes two Atlanta-based vendors located along the arena’s 360-degree concourse: Bocado Pizza and Ire Mon Caribbean Cafe.
Bocado Pizza, situated in Section 109, serves artisan, hand-made, wood-fired Neapolitan-style pizza made with specialty flour imported from Italy. The business was named Atlanta Magazine’s Best New Restaurant in 2024.
“This partnership is a fantastic opportunity to share our commitment to quality, handcrafted sourdough wood-fired pizza with fans and guests while supporting two iconic Atlanta institutions,” founder Brian Lewis said.

Located in Section 219, Irie Mon Caribbean Café is the first Caribbean restaurant in State Farm Arena’s history.
The Black-owned business has multiple locations across Atlanta and specializes in Jamaican cuisine. The name translates to “everything is blessed” in Jamaican Patois.
“Our bold Jamaican flavors will have you talking long after the final buzzer and we hope fans and concertgoers alike come visit us and experience a true taste of Jamaica,” co-founder Payton Williams said.
