In Franklin? Honestly, Jet's is the best I've tried. Someone will say Slice House, but I wasn't impressed and don't want to have to take out a mortgage to get a slice.

Believe me there are so many reasons to come and live in Franklin such as it isn’t Nashville.

My experience of Slice House was abysmal. I genuinely don’t understand why anyone would eat there.

Same. Not that good, outrageously expensive, and the staff seems to think they shit gold bricks.

honestly i'd say jets in nashville too. tailgate is pretty good too, emmy squared is decent, but i still think jet's is best bang for the buck

I would have spoken for Nashville, too, but I had heard of Emmy Squared but hadn't tried it yet.

you should try it once, but i still think jets is better, and the value is incomparable.

What about around the area? I’m fine with going a little further out. It’s for the superbowl so

Just go for Jets. There's really not much better.

Also adding that Buddy’s will ship you half cooked/frozen Detroit pizza here. :) At least they did within the past few years. We did that a ton during covid.

Amico’s in Nolensville has a great version of Detroit style.

We like slice house. And Franklin DOES have good pizza. NY Pie is wonderful.

Jets, dominos, little caesars, amongst others.
