Pianeta 3 (Italian for "Planet 3") was an upscale pizzeria which opened December 20, 2010 in the former Browdy's location in the Mountain Brook Shopping Center in Mountain Brook Village. The 85-100 seat restaurant was launched as a partnership between Franklin Biggs, George Sarris, Gary Tramontina, Bob Blalock and Derek Blalock. Biggs was general manager while Derek Blalock headed the kitchen staff.

Pianeta 3 served gourmet pizzas with fresh, exotic ingredients, as well as salads, sandwiches, antipasti, and pasta, along with extensive beer and wine offerings. Biggs left the partnership in February 2011. The restaurant closed its doors the following May.
