Slice House by Tony Gemignani, an acclaimed fast-casual pizzeria franchise, is doubling down on its presence in Colorado with a second location announced. According to Biz West, the company will also be opening in Longmont, at 725 Harvest Moon Drive.
The news of this Longmont outpost follows the announcement that the state debut of the company will be in nearby Loveland, which What Now Denver covered last week. The locations are coming courtesy of franchisees Michael Tingus and Dean Crescenzi, who will lead Colorado expansion under Tingus Group.
They are currently in the design phase, with permits expected by the end of August and construction planned to start shortly thereafter, Tingus told What Now Denver. The hope is to welcome guests at the site by the year’s end. It will be an approximately 2,800-square-foot space with a 1,000-square-foot patio, by Costco and Dave’s Hot Chicken, near where a new In-N-Out is under development.
Tingus Group holds master franchise rights for a large portion of Colorado, covering Northern Colorado, mountain communities, and some of the Denver metro area. The duo aims to open upwards of 20 locations within their territory over the next few years.
Slice House is known for its award-winning pizzas, including New York, Sicilian, Grandma, and Detroit styles, made fresh daily with premium ingredients. The menu also features pasta, wings, salads, local craft beers, and premium wines. Founder Tony Gemignani is a 13-time World Pizza Champion, four-time Guinness World Record holder, and founder of the World Pizza Champions and the International School of Pizza.
