How They Turned a Failed Restaurant into Nashville’s Most Talked-About Pizzeria - Tony and Caroline of Nicky's Coal Fired Pizza


Listen Later


In this episode of How You Slice It, we sit down with Tony and Caroline from Nicky's Cold Fired Pizza in Nashville, Tennessee. We dive into their unique journey from fine dining in Chicago to opening a coal-fired pizzeria in the heart of the Nations neighborhood. They share how they’ve evolved their menu, the transition to a more casual, neighborhood vibe, and the challenges of adapting during the pandemic.


Tony and Caroline discuss the art of making coal-fired pizza, perfecting their sourdough recipe (shoutout to their 17-year-old starter named "Bert"), and their passion for sourcing local ingredients. We also explore their impressive private event space and their wildly popular "St. Nicky's" Christmas extravaganza that turns the restaurant into a holiday wonderland.


Whether you’re a pizza enthusiast, a restaurant owner, or just love a great business story, this episode has something for you. 🍕✨
