Price: Moderate
• Pizzeria • Highwood
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.

    Hannah, our server, was fun, friendly, attentive and just all around wonderful. Pizza and Caesar were great. Love the crust and the fact they don’t drown the pizza in sauce cheese and food. Perfect combo! Their Caesar dressing is soooo good and the romaine was crisp and fresh. We then went to the bar for a night cap and Carson was so fun to have for a bartender. I usually get delivery from here so it was nice to go be part of the place for an evening.

    We went to Happy Camper while they had all their Christmas decorations up which made it fun & festive! Our server (forgot his name) did an excellent job and was very attentive. Food and drinks all came out quickly. We had the Nadene pizza which was really good along with a Caesar salad. They also had a nice seasonal cocktail menu. Highly recommend if you are looking for something festive!

    Food and service always great here. Except on this night the waitress was a little rushed and unfocused. She forgot to put the order in for one of our pizzas. Then blamed it on us saying we told her we only wanted one. Not what happed at all. We initially ordered 3 pizzas and the. She said they have gluten free why don’t you do two instead so we agreed. She only put the gluten free one in to make and we never received the regular cheese.
