"Home Slice has “pizza” in its name, but anyone who has frequented this New York-style pizzeria for the past few decades knows the italian sub is the stealth MVP. The sandwich still lives up to its reputation. It’s huge, with the perfect ratio of meat-to-cheese, and every table is mandated to order one (or should be). But OK, fine—the pizza’s good too. The crust is thin, foldable, and heavily sauced. We like the classic pepperoni topped with hot cherry peppers, and the greek and caesar salads make great appetizers. Home Slice gets packed around dinnertime, but you can grab a drink from the backyard bar while waiting for a table. This is a one-size-fits-all restaurant, filled with families, rowdy groups of friends, and South Congress tourists Kumbaya’ing their way through a fun meal. Or if you don’t feel like dining in, there’s a takeout joint called More Home Slice next door. Food Rundown photo credit: RICHARD CASTEEL Italian Assorted Sub This sandwich is packed full of ham, dry salami, capicola, genoa salami, provolone cheese, and the perfect amount of vinaigrette to offset the thick stack of meat. It’s almost too tall to fit into your mouth. Home Slice should hang up one of those boards with photos of people who can finish it in one sitting. (OK, maybe it’s not that big.) You can also get a half-sized order. Meatball Sub If you want pizza on your sandwich, this is Home Slice’s second-best sub. It’s gloriously messy, thanks in part to the gooey blend of provolone, mozzarella, and parmesan cheese that covers the top. photo credit: RICHARD CASTEEL Pepperoni And Mushroom Pizza Home Slice has a menu section called “Tried and True” with fairly traditional topping combinations, including this one. Or you can build your own. Either way, add hot cherry peppers—the sweet heat turns a good pizza into a great one. photo credit: RICHARD CASTEEL Greek Salad Get a large serving of this or the Caesar to split among the table. Both are doused in a ton of dressing, which is exactly what should happen at a pizzeria where vegetables are supplementary." - Matthew Jacobs
