Nashville, TN (TN Tribune)–Slim + Husky’s Pizza Beeria has opened its eighth location along Music City’s most popular thoroughfare. On Thursday, March 4 Nashville-based Slim + Husky’s Pizza Beeria celebrated the grand opening of its location, at 5056 Broadway Place. As one of the featured restaurants in downtown’s new Fifth + Broadway development, Slim + Husky’s is the first Black owned restaurant to open on Broadway.
Tourists and local residents are invited to visit the Broadway location to enjoy an array of signature and custom-built artisan pizzas, made to order salads and cinnamon rolls, all staples of the Slim + Husky’s brand. Craft cocktails (on tap), frozen alcoholic specialties and local beers will be offered within the coming weeks.
