Home Slice Pizza in , , | A la Carte Restaurants

Welcome to Home Slice Pizza in Austin, Texas in the United States.   Home Slice Pizza is a brand new independent neighborhood pizza joint in Austin, serving authentic NY-style pizza,  by the pie or by the slice, to nice people like you. We offer our home made, hand tossed, bonafide pies for either dine in or carry out.

What else has Home Slice Pizza got?   We have hearty salads & antipasto plates, sub sandwiches like they make ‘em in upstate NY,  cold beers in bottles or draft by the glass or pitcher, tasty but unpretentious wines by the glass or bottle, specialty sodas, righteous desserts and espresso & coffee drinks.

Home Slice Pizza was created by three great friends, married couple Jen and Joseph Strickland and partner Terri Hannifin,  with a passion for food and entertaining and a vision for an Austin institution based on the original, unfailing goodness of authentic NY-style pizza. No compromise.

The Stricklands began to work on the concept for Home Slice Pizza back in 2001-2, when layoffs were abundant in Austin and career changes seemed wise.  Jen came up with name and the recipes, even going so far as to install stone tiles in her own conventional oven at home so that she could perfect the pizza-making process, while Joseph versed himself in spreadsheets and business plans. Together they bent the ear of anyone who would listen, including Jen’s college roommate at NYU, Terri, a restaurant expert who offered much sage advice to the pair.

Living in South Austin gave the couple a front row seat as South Congress blossomed into a bustling strip, which seemed like the perfect locale for Home Slice Pizza.  So when the opportunity presented itself in the Fall of 2004, they grabbed a location and recruited Terri (along with her dog Satchi) to move to Austin and the three went to work growing Home Slice Pizza from dream to reality.

After a whirlwind year of construction, hiring, fine-tuning, and a lot of therapy, the restaurant opened for business November 16, 2005.
