A new fictitious business filing for Marilyn’s Pizza Slice has been submitted to Sacramento County for a new business at 2011 J St, Ste A. The applicant is Western Pacific Depot, and the California state business registration record shows that Trelawny J Bruce, aka TJ Bruce, is the company’s CEO.

According to the DBA filing, the upcoming slice house will occupy the space that once belonged to Café Marika, a Hungarian restaurant that closed in 2020 after serving the community for 30 years as the owners retired. No liquor license or construction permit can be found at the filing address at the moment. The proposed site sits between Hoptology Beer Lab + Kitchen and a photography studio and is right across the street from the Sacramento LGBT community center.

While no detailed information about the slice house is available, foodies may find the owner’s name alone a credible vouch for the upcoming eatery’s promising quality. Bruce, a well-known name in California’s dining and nightlife scene, is president of beloved San Francisco gay bar Badlands and Fresno queer bar Splash.

What Now Sacramento reached out to Bruce but hadn’t heard back by the time of this coverage.
