SLICE on Broadway

Visited Pittsburgh on Sunday to shop at Ikea. Asked Google what the best pizza in the ‘burgh was and the Slice was listed among many others. I crave New York style pizza with a passion, and Cleveland just doesn’t have any I would consider good «New York» style.
Man, am I glad that we went here. The pizza was awesome. Thin crust and crispy, just the way it is supposed to be. I had the pepperoni, while my wife had the margarita. We both loved it.
Now about the atmosphere. It’s a simple hole in the wall. But the music is great, and the cooks were singing along with the Italian music that was playing. We simply loved it.
The best part was, while getting a box for the leftovers, I added another large slice and a Coke Zero for the ride back to the ‘Land, and the manager added it for no charge. Free, in other words. Awesome!
Highest recommendation. Can’t wait to go back to the ‘Burgh for some more great pizza.

Great pizza, fresh toppings, friendly service. Very good salads and the hoagies are not your typical pizza shop sandwich. They’re top-​notch.

Awesome pizza! Loved the crust especially. Will definitely be back again. Worth crossing town for.

Took about one hour and 40 minutes to get a pizza delivered to our house. The lady too is it would only take one hour. Bad customer service do not order from there.

Just had a sausage pepperoni pie today, & this has become our hands down, go to pizzeria (only place we order from with out-​of-​towners who always end up raving about the quality!!) This is THE most perfect thin, crispy, chewy, fresh pizza anywhere in the South Hills and stacks up with the ultimate from any corner of the metro area. Nothing from a can!!! Perfect sauce and cheese!!! Really really reasonable as far as price (way better pie and way way better value than the neighborhood institution that everyone raves about that starts with an F… you south hills folks know which place I’m talking about; plus unlike the F place, they take cards and are ALWAYS friendly!!!). Only shortcoming is delivery time is always 45−60mins (though they are always up front about it, unlike other delivery places… thankfully I live in the neighborhood, so we carry out 90% of the time). I could go on and on about the entire menu and the high quality fresh ingredients they use (no anemic tomatoes and shredded iceberg from Slice!) but I’ll let you be the judge. If you haven’t eaten there yet, GO NOW. Beechview Pizza Rulez!!!
And though Unilocal shows no alcohol, they’ve had a fine selections of beers by the bottle or six pack, dine in and carry out too!

We were looking for a place to get some lunch and this place had great reviews. Their great reviews are definitely for good reason. We were warmly greeted upon arrival, and everybody was extremely friendly. We ordered a large sausage pizza which was outstanding, a anti-​pasta salad which was gigantic fresh and delicious, and a really top notch toasted Italian sub. I am pretty sure that the guy helping us was the owner, which was really great to see him working on New Year’s Day. Even the delivery guy asked me if everything was all right with my meal as he walked past. That kind of service and friendliness is what makes this place a five star rating. Highly recommended. Oh yeah, and the little pizza rolls they sell are killer, I could make a whole meal just out of those…

I’m a big fan of Slice On Broadway. Their pizza is the perfect combination of crispy and chewy and the right balance of cheese and sauce and their slices are huge.
A plus is they deliver to Mt. Washington (even though their website says they don’t).
Slice On Broadway is a must try!

What can I say about this place. I stopped at the beech view location a few years ago when it first opened for a couple cuts, and I’ve been hooked ever since. These guys put much passion into their pizza and it shows in the food quality. The crust is thin and chewy but with a perfect crisp on the bottom. The sauce is exactly how it should be, loaded with fresh basil and fresh tomato flavor. Of course the cheese is the real deal. This is my favorite pizza in town, even better than Fiori’s.

Extremely over salted pizza and horrible customer service! At first I liked that joint, but today I was completely frustrated how they deal with theirs mistakes and how they treat customers, I have been in bed not able to eat or walk for 5 days and I was starving so I ordered pizza from them with extra garlic to bust my immune system however they did not tell me it’s not a garlic it’s basically salt and garlic in end pizza was awfully salty and really bed for my kidneys pain which I suffer from, they even did not apologize or offered another pizza, so I left hungry. Why??? U guys treat ur regular customers???

Stopped here while doing some heavy laundry at Sip& Spin. Walking distance, which made eating pizza guilt free!
Really good, nice atmosphere and beer selection.

Its ALL about the cheese. My hands down favorite pizza regardless of the toppings. This pizza takes me back to the delicious imported cheese pizzas of my youth. Mouth watering taste and enough cheese to cut your dough intake in half! This is a pizza that keeps you coming back for more.

Not a super huge fan of thin crust but I find Slice to be pretty tasty anyway. My favorite is just plain pepperoni or a delicious Hawaiian (add bacon, duh). We’ve ordered from here a few times even though we don’t live in Beechview (the in laws do and order from Slice all of the time). Agreed on another review that they should add more of that delicious sauce; sharing is caring after all. Also slightly disappointing that the pineapple on the Hawaiian isn’t fresh. Still, we’ll definitely continue to order an occasional Slice.

I’ll start by saying I’ve never left a review online before pertaining to food. I’m pretty easy to please. That being said, it’s pretty hard to mess up pizza. However, I want to take this time to congratulate Slice for accomplishing this daunting task.
Maybe it had something to do with the fact that it took a little under an hour and a half to arrive and was cold and hard as a rock when I opened the box. Flavorless and difficult to chew. Almost inedible. I’m tempted to compare it to pizza flavored cardboard, but that would be an insult to pizza flavored cardboard.
They were closed by the time I tried to call and discuss the «pizza» that they had delivered, so I can’t comment on their customer service.
…but the bottom line is that I could have made myself a better pizza using the stale hamburger buns, ketchup, and near expired shredded taco cheese in my kitchen.
Save yourself $ 20 and the 20 minutes you’ll spend trying to reheat/​revive the «pizza» before throwing it away and giving up. Buyer beware.

My favorite pizza place. One of the best I’ve tasted and it feels like home. The guy’s at work here rock ! Always keep me coming back for more. The price is great too. Keep up the good work

Slice on Broadway is a teeny tiny, heavenly smelling spot on Broadway Avenue in Beechview. Since I had recently just returned from traveling, I decided that takeout would be easier and more convenient than sitting down inside to eat. I phoned in my order while stuck in traffic, and the young man who took my order was very understanding when I inquired how long it would take to prepare my order. He said 25 minutes tops, which was perfect; I placed an order for a large (12 slices) Slaughterhouse Five pie and a Florentine hoagie. I arrived in about 15 minutes, after navigating through a neighborhood I never even knew existed, and nabbed a prime parking spot right in front of the restaurant.
Slice on Broadway is situated on a street that has a few small mom and pop businesses, houses, and a live track for the T (watch out!). They were finishing up my order when I walked in, but I was happy to wait a few extra minutes if it meant I was going to walk out of there with a piping hot pizza. My total came to $ 25 for the two items… the pizza itself was extremely reasonably priced ($ 16) given the quality of ingredients and overall size. The Slaughterhouse Five is topped with pepperoni, sausage, bacon, capicola and prosciutto — I basically died and went to Italian heaven. I can’t quite explain to you how hard it was to drive the extra 15 minutes home with that pizza in my car. It took everything I had in me to not grab a piece right out of the box at a red light!
The Florentine hoagie ($ 8), was good albeit a tad disappointing. I thought I was guaranteed a home run by selecting this proscuitto, mozzarella, spinach and pesto mayo combination, but when I got home and we opened the bag… wah wah wahhhhh. The sandwich was a rather petite 10″ baguette and the fillings were skimpy. My boyfriend said he loved it, but I thought it left a lot to be desired. Perhaps it could’ve used some more proscuitto and spinach… whatever it was, it definitely could’ve been a little more substantial for the price. On the positive side, they do use fresh Breadworks baguettes, which are a nice and tasty touch.
If you need any evidence that I will go back to this place again and again, I can tell you that two days later, we had a conversation about what we should get to eat, and Slice on Broadway came up. Twice. Whenever we do decide to go back, I know the Slaughterhouse Five will be on the agenda, and possibly another more generic pizza as well, so that I can really experience all this place has to offer. You know, just in case that first delicious, perfect pizza didn’t completely convince me.

My first time at this location and it was great!
Service: The staff went above and beyond what a normal pizza shop usually does. They made sure to attend to every need and we’re happy.
Food: The vegetarian pizza was amazing, the veggies all mashed to create a yummy salad like topping on the pizza. The veggies were a plenty, but not overloaded. I really want to try the green monster pizza next time I come.
Price: the price was average to low, definitely worth the value of the pizza and drinks.
Overall: This place is great with a selection of sodas, beer, and pizza. Eat upstairs for a classic feel.

Slice On Broadway is a relatively new pizza joint but they have already carved a pretty solid reputation. I have eaten their pizza a bunch of times now and I can attest to the fact that the pizza is very consistent and you can expect that it will be made the same every time (probably because they have the same pizzaman working there every single time I have been in, he must pull 60 hours a week at least). They have a little dining room on the main floor and I think there may be a dining room upstairs too but I can’t imagine it gets much use. I ordered a large cheese, which is 16 inches and less than $ 12 which is a solid price for the quality of ingredient, but truthfully I would have rather paid an extra dollar to not have gotten such a skimpy pie.
The pizzas are made the traditional way of sliding the pies straight onto a brick oven, the pizzaman is very good at keeping the pies nice a round too. They do use a bit too much corn meal on the dough and it ends up a bit on the sandy side, also you get some charred black dust remains on the bottom of your pie because they don’t clean the oven enough as they go. The pie was well done and crispy with a nice dark brown color. This pizza is close to being really good but unfortunately they are a little too skimpy on the everything and what you end up with is a really really dry pizza. I’m talking Jesus’ bones dry. If you are one of those fat assholes who dips everything in ranch dressing than this pizza very well may be perfect for you but I am having a bit of trouble raw dogging it.
The dough is pretty plain but it tastes fine. It doesn’t have too much of a distinguishing taste aside from a slight salty breadyness. They are stretching it pretty thin so it is hard to gauge it but it seems like a medium density, slight airiness, a few healthy bubbles in the dough and no doughiness. The salt in the dough combined with the saltiness of the cheese and the general lack of other flavors ends up making the whole pie a bit too salty. The dough is a bit on the dry side, which may not have been a bad thing if the rest of the pie didn’t follow suit. Despite being really thin it actually help up very well, you could hold the slices straight without them drooping. I feel like it would not have help up as well if the rest of the pizza hadn’t been so lite in the pants.
The sauce is actually really delicious but they are so brutally skimpy with it that you don’t get to taste it at all. I tried to order it with extra sauce once and instead of putting extra sauce on the pie they just made it as normal and then pooped 2 or 3 odd dollops of sauce oddly in the middle on the top of everything else. The sauce has a really nice garlic sweetness with nice pieces of high quality tomato. Unfortunately they do the bullseye sauce distribution pattern like most shops around here. I guess since we are in western PA their thought is that God will distribute the sauce while the pie is cooking. Keep praying fellas!
They are using high quality mozzarella with some provolone in the mix too, its a nice blend. The cheese coverage is pretty much perfect too. They use the most appropriate amount of cheese of any pizza shop in Pittsburgh and it would be awesome if they weren’t so stingy about the sauce.
All in all this place is still better than most of the shops in Pittsburgh just based on how consistent they are. I wish they would just put enough of their delicious sauce on the pizza. I hope the 10 cents per pie they are saving on the sauce is worth having such dry pizza, I really do. I hope that there is a guy in the Bahamas right now just swimming Scrooge McDuck style in all of the tomatoes that didn’t end up on my pizza.

The slaughter house pizza was very good. Thin crust but piled high with toppings. Came in on a Thursday afternoon and there was no wait at all. Walked in ordered, grabbed a pop (Boylan Birch Beer) and sat down. Looking over the rest of the menu I will be most likely go out of my way and come back here.
Pizzas come in 3 sizes. Small, Large and ginormous. I ordered a small and ate half of it and was full.
I would check this place out sometime. It’s worth it

I have stopped by here twice now, once with my father for lunch and most recently a couple of Tuesdays ago with my wife for dinner. Both times we were enthusiasticly greeted by the person behind the counter immediately after walking through the door. SLICE on Broadway is actually located inside of an old house. The room that you first enter into is a smallish dining room with a window to order your food on the right and some coolers with beer, soda and water on your left. What I really like about the place though is that you can walk up the stairs (watch your head if you are over 6 foot as I have hit it on each visit while walking up) to another dining room that has seating for 22 and a TV.
Both times that I have come here I have ordered the ginormous pizza (20″) with a topping, sausage on the first visit and pepperoni on the most recent. The pizza is brought up the stairs by one of the workers and served to you. As with all pizzas this pizza can judged on it’s three major parts: the crust, the sauce and the cheese. My favorite part of this specific pizza is the crust. It’s fairly thin which means the bottom gets a bit crispy which I loved and it also has some good taste. The cheese and sauce are both harder for me to describe since I feel like the toppings covered the flavor. However they were in good proportion to each other which led to the cheese not falling off and it not being dry.
The bottom line is that this is quickly becoming one of my favorite pizza spots and I will surely be back here again in the future. Not only is the pizza superb but the people that work here are friendly as well.

Believe the hype: Slice is really, really good. It’s the real deal.
Being married to a former New Yorker who treats a good pizza shop like a temple, I can say that this shop is as close to a New York pizzeria as we get in the ‘Burgh. Slices on display in a case at the register, cooler full of pop (including really yummy root beer) on the wall when you walk in, pies of a million different varieties to order for take-​out or dine-​in.
The crust is nice and thin. The slices are huge. There’s just the right amount of grease and crispiness to the pizza, and a healthy dose of cheese and toppings. It’s basically what a perfect by-​the-​slice slice looks like. (They also have a hearty stock of pepper flakes, Parmesan cheese, and some little jar at the front labeled ‘magic garlic stuff’ that is really pretty magical.)
Also, since the downstairs seating is itty bitty, there is a second floor seating area as well. Just place your order at the counter and they’ll bring it up.
The staff is super nice (which, okay, maybe disqualifies it as a *real* New York pizzeria), and they’re patient with you if you take ten years trying to pick what slice you want (sorry about that, too many choices!).
Yes, it’s a bit out of the way for us cityfolk (the South Hills? But don’t we have to cross a RIVER and use a TUNNEL to get there??), but it’s absolutely worth going out for. It’s right off the T line, and we had no trouble finding street parking on a Saturday night, even though the shop was packed.
We may not make the trip to the South Hills very often, but I have a feeling that any journey we make out that way will include a route that passes by Slice.
