We’ve savored weeks dedicated to burgers, tacos, and hot chicken. Now it’s time for Nashville Scene’s inaugural Pizza Week.
From Monday, Sept. 8 to Sunday, Sept. 14, more than two dozen restaurants will sling $12 specialty pies — think: Tutti Da Gio’s pizza with a heavy cream base, prosciutto cotto, and smashed potatoes + Yogi’s lasagna pizza. Even non-pizzeria players like Taco Bamba are joining in.
Pro tip: Look for the icons on each listing to spot gluten-free and vegetarian options.

Watch

Number
Tomorrow night’s Powerball jackpot is up to an estimated $1.7 billion, the third-highest prize in the game’s history. If you manage to land the fortune, you could buy one of the most expensive homes on Davidson County’s real estate market. Just a suggestion.
Gallery
Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum visitors have until Tuesday, Sept. 16 to catch “Western Edge” before the exhibition concludes its nearly three-year run. Sure, you can browse highlights in this photo gallery, but it’s more fun to see Dwight Yoakam’s suede jacket and other artifacts in person.
Seasonal
