About this restaurant

Neighbourhood gem
Kid-friendly
Good for groups

Thank you for choosing SLYCE, where pizza is our passion. We have preserved the art of making hand crafted artisanal coal fired pizzas. Our mission is simple: Have a simple menu that allows us to focus special attention to every ingredient that comes into our building. We choose and use the best quality ingredients possible. We do not believe in premade, mass produced food. We source locally grown or raised products whenever possible and use one of the cleanest natural burning resources to heat our ovens. At SLYCE less is more, as our fresh ingredients are delicately placed, not piled on, to create a perfectly balanced pie. Our dough is made in house daily, hand stretched to order, and baked next to a burning pile of coal giving it a thin, bubbly crust with charred edges and leopard spotting on the bottom. So sit back and relax, as we hand craft you one of your favorite, perfectly charred pies.

Our server Erin was friendly, attentive, and she knew the menu backwards and forwards. All in all, a good evening with good food.

Always enjoy slyce. Pizza is very good. Service always friendly. But they need to add more IPAs! A nice traditional (not hazy) would be nice!

Great pizza and salads! Perfect for date night and for families. Big round tables for a crew of kiddos. Booth for adults and a great visit!

We were 4 adults. We ordered a margarita pizza and a sausage pizza. They came out together but the margarita pizza was really cold. It clearly had be sitting a long time waiting for the sausage which was very hot. We told the waitress and she promptly ordered a replacement but it took 15-20 minutes to arrive. The beer and cocktails were fine. The pizza is actually excellent. The service was good.

Slyce is consistently good every time, people are friendly, service is good. My friend and I love to split the Sicilian salad and a pizza. It’s perfect for an impromptu dinner in the neighborhood.

Unfortunately our pizzas were not too warm. And like everywhere, prices have gone up a lot!

Hello, I'm sorry to hear the pizzas were not to proper temperature. We take pride in serving delicious, fresh, and hot food! I'm sorry we dropped the ball. Did you speak with a manager or team member to get those remade? We are always happy to remake things, as it is our mission to make sure you are enjoying your meal! Please never hesitate to say something! We appreciate your feedback and hope you come back soon!

Food was very good as was the service. As we were leaving, we learned that there was no soap in either washroom. While it was only a mild inconvenience for us, it left us wondering what the employees were washing their hands with (assuming they were washing their hands) after using the restroom. The idea left us with some trepidation as we were on our way out.

I'm glad to hear the food and service were delicious we always strive for excellence in our kitchen and plating of food. In regards to the bathrooms, our employees have a seprate bathroom and the oversight in stocking the guest bathroom was likely due to the employee bathroom being of use. We did stock the bathrooms shortly after your departure, and I'm sorry for the inconvenience. It will be something we focus on with our staff going forward.

Food was as expected but the service was unwelcoming. Restaurant was very empty and the hostess didn’t even say bye to us as we walked right by her to leave the bldg. Very awkward dining experience through out the evening.

Jennifer, I am so sorry to hear about your recent visit to our establishment. We pride ourselves on exceptional guest service and want each and every guest to feel welcomed while dining or taking food home. I will discuss this with my team and invite you back to see the improvement.

Always enjoy their pizza. While beer list is pretty big, no traditional IPAs. Always Hazy, NE. Hard to find a good hoppy beer, but I realize this is personal preference. Asked for a sample and I have never seen a smaller sample pour. Was actually comical how little was in the sample glass. Will return tho!
