CHICAGO – Slice Factory – a Chicago-based pizza franchise, home of Chicago’s original jumbo slice, focusing on creating a welcoming, family-like experience – has implanted the first of its kind pizza drive-thru, the Slice Thru™, to help create the ultimate pizza experience. The conception of the all day to late night Slice Thru service has been a massive game changer in the pizza industry and has skyrocketed the franchise’s success. With the implementation of the Slice Thru, it has assisted in 60% of its orders, and since the pandemic, has seen a 20% increase in sales.

The Slice Thru offers a competitive advantage against competitors and creates a more efficient and quicker process for guests to enjoy a fresh slice of pizza in under three minutes. The Slice Thru has cemented itself as a signature part of the Slice Factory experience, with the service implemented in the Berwyn, Bolingbrook, Burbank, Bellwood, Bridgeport, Maywood and Lyons IL locations, with plans to be added to future locations.

“Chicago has some of the most unpredictable weather in the country, and as a quick-service franchise, you must find innovative ways to serve your guests,” said Founder and CEO of Slice Factory Dom DiDiana. “Sure, you can order delivery, but with the bad weather conditions, it can take too long, mistakes can happen and by the time the food comes it’s cold. With The Slice Thru, guests can order a fresh hot slice of pizza in under 3 minutes from the convenience of their car and not have to worry about incorrect orders and outrageous delivery fees.”

With the success of the Slice Thru and being home to Chicago’s original jumbo slice, Slice Factory envisions being every neighborhood’s favorite pizza shop by offering a unique experience while celebrating both family and food. Slice Factory is expanding throughout the Chicagoland area by operating 13 locations, with another brand new restaurant opening in Lyons, IL. In addition to its famous slices, the brand also serves wings, specialty fries, and fresh  made-to-order salads. A fast, convenient, one-of-a-kind experience is created through their strong focus on innovation, evident through their take on drive-thru service, which includes their signature Slice Thru. Slice Factory is also one of the prominent leaders of technological advancements in the pizza industry, being recognized by Pizza Marketplace’s “Top 100 Movers and Shakers.” Additionally, Slice Factory has a strong focus on community involvement. Partnering with the communities they serve through their “Pizza with Purpose” program, the brand supports local fundraisers and other events.  

“The Slice Thru has been a massive game changer for us and offers a significant advantage over competitors,” said DiDiana. “With the Slice Thru, we can operate our business late night with the service being safer and easier to manage. We are continuing to find new ways and unique opportunities to serve our guests.”

Slice Factory is actively looking for experienced entrepreneurs to expand their brand. Experience working in the food industry is preferred, but not required. The Slice Factory corporate team goes above and beyond to ensure its franchise partners have everything they need to efficiently run their business and continue carrying out its goal of bringing the ultimate family pizza experience. There is a franchise fee of $39,500 with a total investment of $210,000 to $356,000.
