Popular Bay Area-based pizza chain opens Saturday in Granite Bay. What to know
Slice House by Tony Gemignani, a popular fast-casual pizza concept that started in the Bay Area, will be opening its second Sacramento-region location. The new location will open at Granite Bay’s Sierra Oaks Plaza Center at 4060 Douglas Blvd. at 11 a.m on Saturday, April 4.
Slice House serves up an eclectic variety of pizza styles, including New York, Detroit, grandma and Sicilian. Toppings range from traditional to more creative, like chicken bacon ranch. The restaurant also serves antipasti, salads, pastas and desserts.
The first location opened by franchisees Sandeep and Harjot Gill in Folsom in 2024. The Gills chose this moment for the expansion, after testing the success of the inaugural launch.
“Granite Bay is an ideal artisan pizza spot,” said Sandeep Gill. “After seeing the response at our Folsom restaurant, I know firsthand how much the brand resonates with locals and the greater Sacramento area.”
For the grand opening, events include a special appearance by Gemignani, a Slice House hat giveaway for the first 50 guests and a raffle for the chance to win free pizza for one year.
Every new Slice House location offers an exclusive new pizza, and this one is no different. Called The Granite Bay, it will feature sliced Avorio Mozzarella, chicken, applewood-smoked bacon, onions, pesto, ranch, peppadew peppers, Calabrian chili ricotta, oregano, romano cheese and garlic olive oil. It will be offered exclusively by the slice.
Slice House Granite Bay will be open seven days a week from 11 a.m.-9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and 11 a.m. until 10 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.
At the time of the Folsom opening, Slice House said it planned locations in Sacramento, Elk Grove and Roseville. The Gills have left that option open.
“We continue to anticipate having locations in those cities in the future, as we have franchisees who have committed to development in these areas,” a spokesperson for Slice House said. “However, there is currently no current timeline at the moment.”
