"A spinoff of one of San Francisco’s most famous pizza palaces that is currently on a franchising tear, Slice House is a fast-casual chain spawned by acclaimed pizzaiolo Tony Gemignani. The menu reflects Gemignani’s breadth—Neapolitan, New York, Sicilian, Detroit, and grandma-style pizzas are all represented—and he’s not a traditionalist with toppings, offering options like barbecue, chicken bacon ranch, and Hawaiian; other menu items include salads, pasta, and sub sandwiches. The chain already includes multiple locations in the San Diego area and is confirmed to be opening restaurants in Little Italy and La Jolla, with four additional locations planned for greater San Diego County." - Candice Woo
