The first Soulshine Pizza opened in Flowood, Mississippi in 2001. Over the years, they’ve been able to expand and open up new locations in Ridgeland, Mississippi and Franklin, Tennessee
No matter which location you visit, the menus are fairly similar and the vibes are just as welcoming as you’d expect.
