Our take

Slice gives independent pizzerias easy access to the digital tools needed to run a successful business, from bespoke websites with online ordering capabilities to digital marketing and SEO service. According to Slice, pizzerias that use its services can expect both an increase in their online order value and in repeat customers.

The market for online food ordering is huge, with the likes of Grubhub, Deliveroo and Uber Eats controlling most of the market share. To differentiate itself, Slice has honed in on the popularity of pizza. It also provides extra services to its clients that can help them compete with successful chains, and charges a flat subscription fee in comparison to the high commission rates charged by most other platforms.

Slice works with thousands of independent pizzerias across the US, making it the country's largest pizza network. It has also been featured in Crunchbase's SMB Tech 50, a testament to its growth and popularity, and has hopes to continue this upward growth in the coming years.
