He didn’t know the legendary pro football player Reggie White, “the minister of defense,” was from Chattanooga.
“I just picked something that rhymed with veggie,” said Johnson, who’s OK with rededicating the pizza after the hometown NFL star.
“That’ll be the word from here on out,” said Johnson, the general manager at Home Slice Pizza, which opened a month ago at 2000 E. 23rd St., in The Chatt Inn hotel.
The brothers who own the hotel, Jeff and Matt McFarlane, recruited Johnson to launch the pizza place, which is mainly take-out and has four tables inside.
