TL;DR
Slice House by Tony Gemignani is opening a new location in Millbrae, offering award-winning pizza in a fast-casual setting. The new location is operated by the Yuksel Family and features an expansive menu of pizzas, pastas, and other options.
“Slice House is officially opening in Millbrae, and we couldn’t be more excited to be part of the dynamic Peninsula community,” said Founder Tony Gemignani. “From our craft pizza and fresh pastas to our signature slices, this opening represents another meaningful step in our Northern California growth. Partnering again with the Yuksel Family, whose hands-on leadership has shaped the success of our Haight Street (San Francisco) and Belmont locations, makes it even more special. We’re looking forward to welcoming Millbrae locals and sharing what Slice House does best.”
Franchised and operated by industry veterans, the Yuksel Family, Slice House Millbrae features an expansive menu of Gemignani’s famous New York, Sicilian, Grandma, and Detroit style pizzas available by the slice or as whole pies, with gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian options available. The menu also offers fresh pastas, wings, and salads, while the beverage selection includes local craft beers, premium wines, and non-alcoholic options. As is tradition for every new Slice House location, Slice House Millbrae will offer an exclusive pizza, the Hot Ron, developed by Gemignani in collaboration with Yuksel family.
Available by the slice only, the Hot Ron is a New York-style pizza topped with mozzarella, hot honey sausage, pepperonata, roasted red bell pepper, basil, ricotta, Romano cheese, oregano, and finished with hot pepper and garlic oil.
The new fast-casual restaurant has indoor seating for 16 guests, as well as takeout, online ordering, and delivery. Slice House Millbrae will be open seven days a week from 11 a.m. until 9 p.m.
“We can’t wait to open the doors to Slice House in Millbrae so soon and offer this award-winning pizza option to the local community,” said Welat Yuksel. “Having seen it firsthand at our other outposts, we are confident that Tony’s masterful craft paired with the variety of pizza styles and the spirited atmosphere—that are so unique to Slice House—will quickly make it a go-to spot to gather with friends, colleagues, family, and more.”
