Here’s what one customer has to say: “My FAVORITE pizza place! I love the fresh ingredients, the thin crispy crust, and flavorful toppings. I eat Slim and Husky’s pizza at least once a week.

Their pizzas are like what I ate in Italy. Ingredients are fresh, sauce is great and not slathered on. The crust is charred perfectly. Also, it’s reasonably priced and a good ambiance. Dim but not too dark lighting. Good bar atmosphere too.”
