Slim & Husky’s is a story of three friends with a mission to empower communities while using pizza as their vehicle to engage.
It aims to offer quality food, employment opportunities, and community events as the company expands across the nation.
Slim & Husky’s was founded on a shared dream inside of a garage in 2015. The clever name came from a joke the longtime friends have been laughing about for years. One of them has always been a slim guy, but the other two were always big fellas, forcing their mothers to shop for clothing in the children’s husky section.
The Tennessee State University grads started the fast casual, gourmet pizza joint as a way to serve unique pies and provide jobs to their neighborhood in North Nashville. Now, Slim & Husky’s offers build-your own pizzas, take out options, catering services, and delivery through third party vendors.
We just want to be a part of this street as much as possible and continue to develop and have a footprint in this community.
From hosting events to support local artists to honoring area teachers, we strive to recognize and promote positivity wherever we go.

We like our food to have personality. So our signature pizzas and cinnamon rolls feature tons of color and huge pumps of flavor. Our food is like our business: it’s a big melting pot. Every taste and every person is welcome!
