Your guide to staying connected in Franklin, TN

Good Morning Franklin.

I hope everyone is having a terrific week. How about this weather? I mean, come on.

Yesterday might have been a top 3 weather day of the year so far. Maybe the best?

Slice House Coming to Town
Popular restaurants continue to open in Franklin. The latest is Slice House, the successful fast casual pizza franchise created by the legendary, Tony Gemignani.

“In addition to being the first in Tennessee, this Slice House location will be the furthest east for the brand, representing our commitment to expanding and bringing our artisanal pizzas nationwide,” says Founder Tony Gemignani. “It is an honor to partner with our dedicated brand partner, Tyler Ichien, to bring this dream to life and soon offer a delicious and reliable dining option for the Franklin community and its many visitors.”

Slice House Franklin, franchised and operated by Tyler Ichien, will feature an expansive menu of Gemignani’s famous New York, Sicilian, Grandma, and Detroit style pizzas available by the slice or whole pizza. Gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian options will also be available, as well as fresh pasta, wings, and salads. The drink menu will include local craft beers and premium wines, in addition to non-alcoholic sodas and juices. The new dining destination will have indoor seating for forty-five people and a private outdoor patio for sixty-five people. In addition, it will offer takeout, online ordering, and delivery. It will be open seven days a week from 11 a.m. until 9 p.m.

“I am very proud to bring the first Slice House by Tony Gemignani to Tennessee and in my hometown of Franklin no less,” says Ichien. “With roots in the San Francisco Bay Area, I understand the significance of working with Tony on this venture and I am confident that his award-winning pizzas and other menu items will become staples in Franklin and the surrounding area.”

Slice House’s Franklin location will be in downtown Franklin off Main St and 1^st Ave right next to Culaccino and Culamar. It’s also in the same strip where Perenn Bakery is opening this Spring.
