For the love of independents.
Our mission is to keep local pizza thriving. By empowering independent pizzerias with the tech and services that power the big chains, we enable them to be in business for themselves, not by themselves.
Own a pizzeria?
Hungry for pizza?
Here's a not-so-fun fact.
The average independent pizzeria does less than half the sales of a major chain store. 1
AVERAGE SALES PER
BIGGEST CHAIN LOCATION
$1,030,000
AVERAGE SALES PER
INDEPENDENT PIZZERIA
$443,000
Now imagine pairing a local pizzeria’s outstanding food and hospitality with the tech, marketing, and strategy of a global company. That’s Slice.

Marinara in the blood.
See those three guys at the counter? That’s our founder’s uncle, grandfather, and father. llir Sela saw the challenges his family’s pizzerias faced firsthand. His idea: Unite shops with the tools and economies of scale that power the big pizza chains.
Ilir started by bringing shops together with a business model focused on loyalty and fair pricing. Slice proved successful for his grandfather’s and uncle’s pizzerias — then thousands and thousands more.
