Frankies $3 slice with a beer
When City Cowboy opened its second main Nashville property in The Arcade downtown, one of many particulars I used to be most enthusiastic about was the addition of a slice store from the Brooklyn pizza masters at Roberta’s. Particularly because the demise of Manny’s again in 2023, I’ve availed myself regularly of a slice from Roberta’s after I wanted a fast chew between duties downtown. So I used to be stunned final month to find that Roberta’s had departed the area. (They’re nonetheless going robust in East Nashville, although!)
However fret not, readers. City Cowboy has invited one other beloved Brooklyn transplant to Nashville to fill that pepperoni-shaped gap in our hearts within the type of Frankies.
City Cowboy founder Lyon Porter selected Frankies founders Frank Castronovo and Frank Falcinelli, alongside associate John Burns Paterson, as the most recent unique culinary associate for the hospitality model. Frankies has already constructed a robust following at its East Nashville location at 925 Cherokee Ave. because of old-school Italian American cooking.
Frankies salads
At The Arcade, Frankies includes a menu constructed round Brooklyn-style pies just like the Sicilian Pepperoni, Frankies Scorching and Capicola, all designed to pair with City Cowboy Bar’s cocktails. Pies can be found for dine-in, takeout and likewise supply completely through DoorDash.
So be ok with the change, pizza lovers. We nonetheless have each Roberta’s and Frankies in East Nashville, and now there’s the chance that City Cowboy may be capable of supply an extra expanded menu in The Arcade sooner or later. Generally change could be good.
