Independent, but not alone.

I believe that owners like you deserve all the advantages of big chains without any of the compromise. The power of community makes it possible. Here’s our story.

Slice CEO signature

Ilir Sela, FOUNDER & CEO

That’s my uncle, grandfather, and father at Charlie’s Pizza in 1975.

Growing up in their pizzerias showed me that shops like yours are at the center of our communities. Your incredible food, service, and charm are there for all of life’s special moments from big celebrations to cozy dinners.

But why is it that 60% of neighborhood shops fail within a year after opening? 1

Because running an independent shop is challenging. You know firsthand. Owners like you must tackle the complexities of marketing, technology integration, supply chain, and financial management on your own. This often leads to higher costs and greater risks.

Cool pizzeria owner

Of course, you could have joined a big franchise like Domino’s. You’d get immediate brand recognition, structured support, and economies of scale. You’d also give up your individuality — everything that makes your shop unique.

I believe that was never a real option for you.

That’s why I started Slice. And here’s how I know that we will succeed together.

You are part of a powerful community.

Independents have the numbers.

Many people think that the pizza industry is all about the big four. They’re wrong.

There are more shops like yours in America than every single corporate franchise pizza shop combined. This gives you collective strength.2

There are 21,000 locations for the biggest franchises. There are 59,000 independent pizzerias.

Independents don’t have the advantages.

While there are more of you, the big chains make more per location.3

With built-in shared resources, they bring in more than twice as much revenue per location as a pizzeria like yours.

Big chains earn $1.03M per location. Independents earn $443K per location.

Independents deserve a level playing field.

Imagine pairing your superior food and service with the technology, marketing, buying power, and support that’s baked into every big chain.

That’s what we did.

Slice puts big chain advantages to work for you.
