Slice

Slice is a pizza joint/bar on Howell Mill in Atlanta. They serve pizza whole or by the . . .

The pizza was fair; not thin crust, not deep dish. The sauce was fresh tasting, and the cheese was melty. We purchased, or attempted to purchase, a large pie with spinach and sausage, and mushrooms on half for Callie. That’s not what we received, of course, because the employee behind the counter somehow confused our order, after having us spell it out for her. We received a pizza with spinach and sausage on one half, mushrooms on the other. Not only did this have the effect of cheating us out of half of our spinach and sausage, it also kept me from being able to eat half of the pizza, and kept Callie from getting the full enjoyment she expected from her half. Normally, you could chalk such a mistake up to being busy, but there were few customers present, and Slice had loaded for bear this Friday night. I counted 6 employees (including 2 cooks) in our half of the restaurant, plus the bartender’s in the other half. It’s possible that ordering your pizza from the bar is the better option, should you find yourself in this establishment. Plus, the bar has a pool table and sofas for you to drip sauce onto. But atmosphere was not the issue with this restaurant, service was. The sweet tea had run dry at 9, disappointing me and our fellow patron David Banner, but not Callie, who ordered a Sweetwater Ale.

In total, the experience was passable, with the pizza and beer running $20, about what you expect when eating out these days, and the bar might be a fun place to hang out with friends if you live in the area, but when the highlight of the evening is seeing a one-hit rapper and not a delicious sweet pizza pie, there’s no reason to make a point of going back.
