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.

Came to Francesca’s for Last minute Thanksgiving reservations because our other plans were canceled. The location is adorable and the restaurant was festive and inviting. Server was attentive and hospitable. Drinks were amazing- limoncello martini recommended by our waiter was perfectly not too sweet. Plenty of food options, Italian Charcuterie board had me back for seconds and the spinach apple salad was sooo good as were all the other traditional Thanksgiving dishes. The dessert table had many choices- I would buy a box of the green tea amaretto cookies! Overall it was exactly what we were looking for and not one thing to complain about. Thank you for a great evening.
