## Story

Greenwich, Connecticut is now home to a SkinnyPizza location. According to a recent article in Fast Casual, the brand has announced that the opening of the new location will occur this week. It will serve as the company's first restaurant in the state.

Since 2009, the brand has specialized in delivering New York-style pizza with a healthier spin. SkinnyPizza menu items are lower calorie and lower carbohydrate than traditional pizzas. The brand is also working on a cauliflower crust to allow consumers an opportunity to reduce carb intake even further.

The brand offers a build-your-own pizza model that allows customers to mix and match different fresh ingredients for a flat price. SkinnyPizza hopes to have 15 restaurants open and operating by 2020.
