Diners at the Pizitz Food Hall in downtown Birmingham's soon-to-reopen historic Pizitz building will have their choice of everything from banh mi to biscuits, Latin street food to Israeli cuisine, developer Bayer Properties announced today.

The Pizitz Food Hall is expected to open this winter, and Bayer revealed the tenants today, which include 13 food stalls, two restaurants and a bar.

"The Pizitz Food Hall will bring a new culinary experience to Birmingham and will become a place for people to gather and enjoy interesting food, as well as time with family and friends," Jeffrey Bayer, president and CEO of Bayer Properties, said in today's announcement.

"The wide variety of cuisine we secured for The Pizitz Food Hall is unlike anything else in Birmingham or even Alabama. We can't wait for the city to experience these unique and exciting culinary delights."

Here are the food stalls that will be in the Pizitz Food Hall. The descriptions of each of the vendors are courtesy of Bayer Properties.

Alabama Biscuit Co. Flaky, sweet and savory biscuits featuring an array of toppings, including everything from local honey and almond butter to fried bologna and pork belly. This original location of this breakfast spot is located in Cahaba Heights.

Busy Corner Cheese & Provisions. Brian McMillan, a longtime local distributor with The Cheese Advocate, will open Busy Corner Cheese & Provisions featuring farmstead and artisanal cheese and related specialty items. Busy Corner Cheese & Provisions will also serve sandwiches that are a creative take on the classic grilled cheese.

Choza Taqueria. Much like a beach-side hut in northern Mexico, this taqueria, which has a sister restaurant in Gotham West Market in New York City, will feature tacos, burritos, bowls and salads.

Dosa. A dish similar to a crepe, dosas are made of rice and lentils with authentic spices and served with coconut chutney, vegetable stews and a variety of toppings.

Eli's Jerusalem Grill. The original Eli's Jerusalem Grill opened on U.S. 280 about two years ago, and this second location will serve homemade Israeli cuisine, including shawarma, salads, falafel and kabobs.

Ichicoro Ramen. This modern-casual ramen noodle house will serve a new style of ramen inspired by the Latin flavors, local produce and hot temperatures found in its home city of Tampa, Fla.

Lichita's. Lichita's ice cream and Mexican paletas are reminiscent of southern Mexico and created using fresh fruit and quality ingredients from farmers markets and local sources.

MoMo. This stall will feature traditional Asian dumplings and banh mi made from scratch, while also showcasing new and experimental flavors. MO:MO is a new food concept from Abhi Sainju, executive chef at Bamboo on 2nd.

Ono Poke. Drawing inspiration from his childhood in Hawaii, Vinh Tran will introduce Birmingham to poke, an intersection of Japanese and Hawaiian cuisine that is comprised of raw fish and imported seaweed served on a bed of rice or greens.

Reveal Kitchen. Reveal Kitchen will serve as an incubator for Birmingham's up-and-coming restaurateurs and will rotate quarterly. The stall is supported by REV Birmingham and will offer a proof of concept opportunity for culinary graduates of Create Birmingham's CO.STARTERS program, a joint effort of both organizations.

Revelator Coffee. Choosing coffees to fit a simple, seasonal menu, Revelator Coffee roasts the coffee to celebrate each unique character. Similar to its other location in Birmingham, the stall will feature food and goods from local purveyors that complement the coffee.

The Standard. A hamburger and hot dog joint from former HotBox and Wood Goaten chef Matt Ralph.

WaffleWorks. A twist on traditional Belgian waffles, WaffleWorks will explore the combination of soul food and waffles, offering a variety of sweet and savory flavors and toppings.

Also today, Bayer Properties announced that in addition to the food stalls, two full-service restaurants have been secured for The Pizitz space.

One is Ghion Cultural Hall, an Atlanta restaurant known for its authentic Ethiopian dining experience, concentrated Ethiopian coffee and its modern interpretation of classic dishes.

The other is Fero, a restaurant from New York chef Akhtar Nawab and Matt Wagman of Park South Hospitality. Offering a modern take on rustic Italian cuisine, Fero will feature a range of dishes, from the classic pork chop to pastas to a unique buckwheat crepe with pork belly.

Additionally, the centerpiece of the Food Hall will be an interior bar called The Louis, named after Louis Pizitz, the original owner of The Pizitz building. The Louis will include a milkshake bar and will serve handmade sodas, craft cocktails and local beers.

Bayer Properties enlisted the help of local food bloggers from the What to Eat in Birmingham website to help identify unique restaurant concepts and entrepreneurs for the Pizitz Food Hall.

Appleseed Workshop is designing and building the majority of the tenant stalls, as well as the restaurants and the outdoor plaza. Yellowhammer Creative is designing the Food Hall logo and interior signage.

Bayer Properties' $66 million renovation and re-imagining of the circa 1923 Pizitz department store building began in 2015.

When it is complete, The Pizitz, which is located on 19th Street between First and Second Avenues North, will include The Pizitz Food Hall, 11,000 square feet of office space and 143 rental apartments, which are currently being pre-leased.

Also, the Sidewalk Film Festival is conducting a funding feasibility study to see if there is enough community support for a two-screen art-house theater, which could possibly be located in the lower level of The Pizitz, just below The Pizitz Food Hall, Bayer Properties said in today's release. The theater would show first-run independent and repertoire films nightly and feature a full bar.
