About Us
Two local business men, living in and around Highland Park, wanted to offer a little variety when it came to the types of pizza offered in the Northshore. All Chicago natives at one time or another have tried a deep dish pizza and even a traditional thin crust but have they ever had a New York Pizza Pie. Adam, a native New Yorker, wanted to bring a piece of the Big Apple to the Windy City. Thus began the quest for a traditional New York Style Pie and the tastes associated with an old school New York style pizzeria. The actual recipe for our New York Slices pizza began in Lindenhurst, New York by Chef Santo Bruno. Chef Bruno, a traditional Italian chef, states that, “You can teach anyone to throw a pizza, but it’s almost impossible to make a New York style dough.” The owners spent time perfecting there dough making skills and pizza sauce under Chef Bruno’s watchful eye. Fortunately for New York Slices patrons, the chefs here posses the necessary skills able to add the right combination of ingredients by instinct, touch, and taste. Combining Chef Bruno’s recipe with our chef’s special pinching touches, New York Slices was ready to bring a taste of New York to the suburbs of Chicago. In 2006 the dream became a reality when New York Slices opened there doors in downtown Highland Park, IL. Many New Yorkers living in the Chicago area have come from as far away as Huntley, Naperville, and even Racine, WI. In 2008 New York Slices started there frozen pizza line, New York Slices on Ice. This offered the same great New York style pizza to those wanting to “Grab a Slice” anytime. To learn more about our locations and how to order our pizzas online go to our online ordering page. Whether you want a slice Hot-n-Fresh or Fresh-n-Frozen New York Slices can accommodate any craving any time. Don't just take our word for it here's what our patrons are saying: Scott H.I am a traditionalist that realizes the true way to eat pizza is Deep Dish. However, I wanted to give NY Slices a chance. Their service is amazing. The counter man was extremely helpful informing us of their selection of Pizza. They also have a nice selection of specialty rolls. The garlic roles were tasty and we also had a spinach mushroom roll that was innovative. We ordered in advance and set a time for pick-up on our way to show at Ravinia--our pizza and garlic rolls were hot and fresh--ready right on time. I would definitely recommend them as an alternative to overpriced Ravinia fare. I can say that this is the best and closest authentic east coast pizza that I've found in Chicagoland. New York Slices is a little bit of New York in Chicago. Their pizza is excellent; everything I knew when I lived on the east coast. |
I ordered a pizza from you today and I was very pleased! Being from Brooklyn originally, I prefer the NY style pie hands down to the Chicago version. Thanks for bringing a taste of the Big Apple to the northshore.
