Restaurant owners Forrest Higdon and Jason Carrier are collaborating to open Happy Slice Pizza in late October.
Meet the owners
Carrier owns Mama Betty’s Tex-Mex, which opened on Parmer Lane in 2022, according to previous Community Impact reporting and Higdon owns Gumby's Pizza in San Marcos, which he initially opened in 2009, according to previous Community Impact reporting.
The details
The duo is coming together to create a healthier pizza spot with more gluten-free offerings, no cellulose and unbromated flour.
“With this restaurant being in our very own community, and our kids and friends' kids dining with us often, we take the challenge of only serving the cleanest pizza seriously,” Carrier states in an email to Community Impact.
Stay tuned
The new pizza restaurant will include an updated interior space, as well as expanded seating in the back with a new patio deck and turf area, according to Carrier. The outdoor seating will have five TVs and 10 fans.
