Slice House: A Pizza Lover’s Dream Come True. 🍕
If you’re looking for a pizza experience that completely redefines what you thought good pizza could be, Slice House is the spot. Tony Gemignani absolutely kills it.
From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming, the service was impeccable and patient, and the entire space was spotless—seriously, even the corners of the floor were pristine. You could tell that attention to detail really matters here, and it shines through in everything they serve.
Plus the wonderful smells made you feel like you were back at Nonna’s house helping her prepare focaccia and sauce. (Without the passive Italian criticism.)
Slice House doesn’t just do one thing well, they MASTER IT ALL.
Whether you’re a die-hard fan of New York style with its perfect fold and cheesy stretch, craving the goodness of a classic Grandma piece, obsessed with the thick and airy Sicilian, or in the mood for the crispy-edged, cheesy, saucy (dare I say dirty?) glory of Detroit-style, there’s something for everyone—and each bite has its own unique texture and personality. I’d swipe right on all of them AND bring them home to meet the family.
The crispy pepperoni is next level—little adorable unassuming cups of savory, crunchy perfection that somehow steal the show on every slice. (Like what??) All of the toppings are fresh, bold, and flavor-packed, ranging from sausage, veggies, creamy ricotta, tangy olives, and oh that fresh mozzarella. (Get out of here.)
And don’t you dare skip their house chili oil! It adds a warmth that elevates anything you drizzle it on, especially the pasta and the crust. (Which is already phenomenal on its own.)
We came for the pizza, but after a little bit of healthy peer pressure, decided to start with some pasta. (Because why wouldn’t we hit carbs on carbs?) We had the gemelli with vodka cream sauce and pancetta, it really deserves its own standing ovation—rich, creamy, perfectly seasoned, held its warmth, and the sauce was clinging to the pasta that was cooked to perfection. It’s the kind of dish that makes you close your eyes and forget the world for a minute. (And you best believe we tossed in some chili oil…YUM!)
But then… dessert happened. Because we hadn’t abused our lactose and gluten intolerant bodies enough already. (And yeah…it was more than worth it…catch us outside how bout dat?!) We do have some trusty lactose pills, but that is a story for another day.
We had the legendary “Buddy’s” Rainbow Cake, which was as vibrant and fun as it was delicious. But the true star of the show? The house-made cannolis. (STAHP IT) When we ordered them, we were told we’d need to wait about 5 minutes for the chef to make a fresh batch of filling. (Oh no…5 whole minutes, how will we live?!) And wow, it was insanely worth it. The shells were light and crispy, with that delicate crack when you bite in, and the filling? Absolutely phenomenal. Light, creamy, just the right amount of sweet. We’re still dreaming about them. (Despite the fact that we just finished them in the car on the way home.)
Slice House is more than a pizza joint. It’s a place where flavor, passion, exceptional service, and meticulous care all come together. Whether you’re grabbing a quick slice, indulging in pasta, or chasing that perfect dessert bite…you’ll walk out full, happy, and already planning your next visit. (Just don’t cut me in line because there will be sauce.)
