We had a reservation for a Sunday at noon, for a party of 4 on the patio, under roof. Upon arrival we were greeted and seated promptly at the covered patio near the duck pond. We were served water immediately, and the waitress was very attentive. We ordered a variety of food, from fried pickles to green salad to two kinds of pizza. The salad was fresh, and the hot meals came out hot. Everything was delicious, we had leftovers, and we will be back for more. A very enjoyable experience!

Highwood

About the restaurant

Thank you for choosing SLYCE, where pizza is our passion. We have preserved the art of making hand crafted artisanal coal fired pizzas. Our mission is simple: Have a simple menu that allows us to focus special attention to every ingredient that comes into our building. We choose and use the best quality ingredients possible. We do not believe in premade, mass produced food. We source locally grown or raised products whenever possible and use one of the cleanest natural burning resources to heat our ovens. At SLYCE less is more, as our fresh ingredients are delicately placed, not piled on, to create a perfectly balanced pie. Our dough is made in house daily, hand stretched to order, and baked next to a burning pile of coal giving it a thin, bubbly crust with charred edges and leopard spotting on the bottom. So sit back and relax, as we hand craft you one of your favorite, perfectly charred pies.

Slyce is consistently good every time, people are friendly, service is good. My friend and I love to split the Sicilian salad and a pizza. It’s perfect for an impromptu dinner in the neighborhood.

They previously served the margaritas in a shaker so you got one and a half glasses, they no longer do that. I ordered the scallops they came out basically white and not well seared. We have eaten there several times but we’re not impressed this time.
