Step into do and you may feel like you've entered some flashy high-tech set where a scene for CSI Miami is being filmed. Because things are different here, and not just the fact that they prefer lowercase and pronounce their name as if it were spelled  "dough," as in pizza.

Though the menu focus is definitely pizza--all of the entrees are personal-size pizzas and most of the appetizers are flatbreads--the real inspiration is do-re-me. Menu items have music-industry names, such as Maestro, Melody, Soloist, Duet, Ensemble, Composition, and so on.

The walls of the restaurant showcase music videos. Any diner with an iPhone can download a free app and then select music videos to add to the playlist. It's like the newfangled version of a juke box. Or maybe like sitting inside the juke box.

Once you're seated a "table assistant guide" (apparently, the terms waiter and server are now both passé) introduces you to the menu. Pay attention, because this is no mere introduction to the fact that foods are grouped into categories. An iPad is propped upon the table and instructions are given about how to review the available food and drink options and then how to enter an order yourself. And, when it comes time to leave, how to notify the valet with a push of a button.

The pizza here features creative and classic combinations, plus a build-your-own option. The crust is thick around the perimeter, thin in the center, and has a nice crunchy/chewy balance. It's good--I especially liked Collaboration, which is topped with sausage and sweet peppers. But the food can't compete with the flashiness of the setting.

Be sure to visit the rest room, where even more high-tech features await.

And the view? Climb upstairs to the upper level bar for unobstructed views of the Atlanta skyline.

do is open for dinners on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.

Bottom Line: Tasty food and drink in a high-tech setting.
