Home Slice Pizza

"On November 5, voters can celebrate “dough-mocracy” by trading in their “I Voted” stickers for a free slice of pizza at any Home Slice pizza joint in Austin or Houston." - Brittany Britto Garley

"Sandwich: Italian sub Home Slice makes a banging Italian sub sandwich for a pizza place. The Midtown spot bakes their springy Italian white bread fresh every day then layers the footlong loaf with thick slices of ham, dry salami, capicola, and genoa salami. Meats get topped with a thick layer of thinly sliced slaw, sliced tomato, and provolone. Order a full size to either prepare for nuclear fallout or have one of the best sandwiches in town to snack on all day." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene, julie takahashi

"The Austin-import Home Slice Pizza always has a few grab-and-go slices on deck. While you can hang on the outdoor patio, you could also easily eat a slice of eggplant pie or a couple of pepperonis to eat while walking back to the Metro Rail. " - gianni greene, chelsea thomas

"Home Slice Pizza recently moved into Midtown as a new outpost from the Austin mothership. The restaurant interior is a successful ode to a 1970s pizza joint or someone’s grandmother’s wood-paneled basement, plus a scant few booths inside and small patio. The New York-style pizza runs fairly thin with a slightly soft crust and a light dusting of toppings. Signature pies like the eggplant pie or the pepperoni and mushrooms are tried-and-true staples that won’t steer you wrong. While you can eat here and take in the kitschy decor, we recommend ordering ahead and grabbing a full pie to-go, which is made to order, rather than ordering anything by the slice." - Chelsea Thomas, Gianni Greene

And even though this place is named after pizza, what you should really order is the full-size Italian assorted sub sandwich. This beauty’s loaded up with ham, salami, capicola, and a mess of chopped lettuce and tomato on a house-made white bread. It’s beautiful and massive and will make you strike an endless chef’s kiss pose until you take the last bite. Also, we recommend ordering ahead, and, if you get pizza, grabbing a full pie to-go as it is made to order—ordering by the slice is not the move. photo credit: Raphael Brion" - Chelsea Thomas
