And you think putting pineapple on pizza gets some folks heated?

This Saturday, May 18, there's going to be a sushi pizza party in downtown Nashville. And yes, one of the two pizzas — the spicy crab pizza — will have raw fish on it. Tuna and spicy crab, to be specific. (Other ingredients include masago, cucumber, avocado, fried shallots, spicy mayo and eel sauce.)

Slim & Husky's co-owner Clint Gray combined forces with Chef Art Insyxiengmay of sushi catering outfit Ricey & Co. to come up with that spicy crab pizza and a cooked Bang Bang Shrimp pizza.

For a $35 ticket, you can get a slice of pizza, a drink and a Slim & Husky's cinnamon roll. There'll be live music from DJ Raiden at the event, which starts at 7 p.m. at the Skye Lounge in the Sheraton Grand Nashville Downtown, 623 Union St.
