Twin brothers Cal and Jackson Todd think they can bring Chattanoogans the best New York-style pizza they have seen yet and add to the growing night-life scene in the North Shore neighborhood.
The 23-year-old owners of Pizza Bros at 501 Cherokee Blvd. plan to open their first restaurant venture by the end of this month with no exact date yet. The brothers said they have experience in the restaurant industry with Cal having worked at several different pizzerias in town.
Cal and Jackson live in North Chattanooga now, but they were born and raised in Ringgold, Ga. Jackson said they both will be “slinging pies” in the kitchen when they do open.
Pizza Bros at 501 Cherokee Blvd. took over part of Sluggo’s Vegan Cafe in January and began renovating the space. The New York-style pizzeria should be open by the end of October, according to brothers and owners Cal and Jackson Todd.“Everyone loves pizza,” he said. “And we just wanted to work for ourselves.”
They will be selling 16-inch pies with a cheese pizza starting at $14. Customers can choose from one of the 10 specialty pies, ranging in price from $17-$23, including a “Chicky Parm” with tomato sauce, roasted tomatoes, chicken, roasted garlic, parmesan and basil, or maybe a “Spicy Cowboy” with tomato sauce, calabrian peppers, salami, pepperoni, ricotta, buffalo swirl and oregano.
