Franklin is getting a new taste of the Windy City. Lefty’s Pizza Kitchen has announced it is coming soon to 102 Lumber St., Franklin, TN, bringing what the restaurant describes as “real Chicago pizza and Italian street food” to the Williamson County community. The news was shared on the restaurant’s Instagram, which declared that the wait is finally over for Franklin.
The announcement gives pizza fans plenty to look forward to, with Lefty’s specifically teasing its signature caramelized crust alongside its Chicago-inspired offerings. While the restaurant has not yet released the full Franklin menu, the concept’s Instagram announcement makes one thing clear: this is more than a standard pizza shop, with Italian street food also set to play a starring role.
Lefty’s existing menu offers a broad lineup of comfort-food favorites, including cheesesteaks, hoagies, burgers, wings, chicken sandwiches, loaded fries, chicken tenders, cheesesticks, egg rolls, and desserts. The brand’s website also highlights specialty combinations and loaded creations, giving diners a sense of the indulgent, casual approach behind the concept.
For Franklin, the upcoming location appears to put the spotlight firmly on pizza. The Instagram announcement specifically promises real Chicago pizza, with the caramelized crust called out as part of the experience. That detail hints at a pizza offering designed to stand out from the usual Franklin lineup.
Located at 102 Lumber St. in Franklin, Tennessee, the forthcoming Lefty’s will bring the brand into Williamson County for the first time. An opening date, hours, and full Franklin menu have not yet been announced, but Lefty’s has confirmed that the restaurant is coming soon.
For now, Franklin can get ready to trade the familiar for a little Chicago flavor. If Lefty’s promise holds true, the new spot will bring crispy, caramelized crusts, Italian street food, and a distinctly Windy City-inspired bite to the local dining scene. More details are expected as the opening gets closer.
