In October, 2025, chef Tony Gemignani opened his first Colorado location of Slice House in Loveland. But now Boulder has the second spot, and it’s one of the best pizza shops in town.
“Boulder felt like a no-brainer for Slice House,” said Gemignani, who started the first iteration of the fast-casual restaurant in 2010 in San Francisco. “We’re excited to become a go-to neighborhood spot where families, college students, professionals, and more can expect delicious craft pizza in a spirited environment.”
Located in the Twenty Ninth Street shopping district, the eatery serves up crispy New York slices, thick-crust Sicilian squares, homestyle Grandma pies, and Detroit-style, along with pasta, wings, and hearty salads. Each of those aforementioned styles of pizza lean traditional, and should satisfy even the grumpiest of pizza connoisseurs.
It’s not surprising Slice House dishes up quality. After all, Gemignani got his name in the pizza world after 13 wins at the World Pizza Championship, a contest that started in Italy in 1991. The NY slices prove large and foldable, without all the toppings sliding off. Each Sicilian slice towers, but each bite proves unexpectedly fluffy. Then the Detroit-style, which uses a different, denser dough, is perfect for supporting the surrounding cheese crust.
Pies can be ordered whole, or opt for one of the many slices displayed NYC-style in a case up front. Just like the Big Apple, Slice House heats the individual slices in an oven for maximum freshness and flavor. While the options always change, expect to always see cheese and pepperoni on display…
