Let’s keep it real — there are pizza joints, and then there’s Slim & Husky’s, a Black-owned, culture-saturated, flavor-burstin’ pizza spot that’s got Nashville (and the rest of Tennessee) straight-up addicted. Nestled in the heart of North Nashville’s Buchanan Arts District, this place is a pizza-beer-hip-hop fusion explosion that delivers on flavor, fun, and full-blown local pride. Slim & Husky’s is more than a restaurant — it’s a movement, created by three Tennessee State University alums who knew their city needed a spot with bold food, bold music, and bold community love. And if you’ve never had pizza with vodka cream drizzle or fig jam on top, well...get ready for your taste buds to file a formal thank-you letter.

🍕So What’s the Deal with Slim & Husky’s?
This place takes build-your-own pizza to the next level — all pies are made fresh, FAST, and you get to call the shots:

🌟 Choose from house-made dough options: OG White, Whole Wheat, Gluten-Free
🧀 Stack it with premium cheeses, meats, veggies, herbs & wild drizzles like balsamic molasses or cilantro ranch
🔥 Try signature pies like the “Got 5 On It” (mozzarella, pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, bell peppers, & red sauce) or the “Cee No Green” (straight meat party)
🥤 Pair it with a local craft beer or natural soda — or even one of their homemade cinnamon rolls to shut it down right

And yeah, they didn’t just call it a beeria for fun — they’ve got a well-curated rotation of local Tennessee brews, from Yazoo to Jackalope, and even some underground stuff from Black-owned microbreweries you won’t find anywhere else.

🎨The Vibe? Straight Culture.
Step into Slim & Husky’s and boom — it hits you. Hip-hop blasting, graffiti-style murals, local art on the walls, and a staff that makes you feel like you’re hangin’ out at your cousin’s cookout. It’s loud, it’s lively, and every inch of the space screams pride in the culture. You’re not just eating here — you’re vibin’. There’s also always a solid chance you’ll run into an up-and-coming Nashville rapper, a Titans player, or a couple of college students crushing a pizza before hitting the strip.

📍Location Perks — Buchanan St’s Got Soul
Slim & Husky’s is smack in the middle of the Buchanan Arts District, a growing cultural hub with Black-owned businesses, art galleries, vintage shops, and murals for days. Walk around the corner and you’ll see:
