New York transplant Prince St. Pizza, famous for its pepperoni-cup Sicilian squares and long late-night lines, is set to fire up its first Tennessee ovens next Thursday at downtown Nashville's Fifth + Broadway. Billed as the brand's largest location yet, the new Broadway shop will bring by-the-slice, stay-out-late service to a stretch already packed with tourists, concertgoers, and downtown workers.
What’s opening
According to a press release via Pizza Marketplace, the opening will mark Prince St.'s first Tennessee outpost and will come with a hefty launch promo: the first 100 guests who sign up for the chain’s rewards program will score a free slice every week for a year. Five additional winners will be chosen throughout the day, and the debut will feature merchandise giveaways plus an exclusive collaboration with Nashville apparel brand The Nash Collection. The company is also calling the Broadway restaurant the largest shop in its portfolio.
Where it will be
Prince St. Pizza lists the new address as 5056 Broadway, B-103 inside the Fifth + Broadway complex, and currently tags the Nashville shop as “Coming Soon.” The space is roughly 3,014 square feet and will offer dine-in, takeout, and late-night service, per Axios Nashville. The new spot will sit alongside other high-traffic Broadway tenants that include Hattie B’s and Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams, local outlets note.
Opening day and promotions
The opening-day sweepstakes and year-of-slices giveaway were detailed in the company release and reported by Pizza Marketplace. CEO Lawrence Longo said the team built the restaurant “to handle that nonstop rhythm while delivering the same slices that made Prince St. Pizza a destination in New York,” according to the release. Expect a setup that mixes grab-and-go counters for peak crowds with seating for daytime diners and visitors killing time between shows.
Why it matters for downtown
Fifth + Broadway is pitched as a central entertainment and retail hub in downtown Nashville, a role outlined in the development’s press materials and tenant roster. The arrival of a national name like Prince St. fits that strategy and helps explain why operators eye Broadway for high-volume, late-night concepts, according to Business Wire. For Nashville diners, it adds another option for slices after concerts and during the daytime foot-traffic crush.
For now the Nashville listing still shows the location as coming soon and includes a phone number for inquiries, and the company’s locations page is expected to be the first place to post hours and sign-up details ahead of next Thursday’s debut.
