| - Slice on Broadway is a teeny tiny, heavenly smelling spot on Broadway Avenue in Beechview. Since I had recently just returned from traveling, I decided that takeout would be easier and more convenient than sitting down inside to eat. I phoned in my order while stuck in traffic, and the young man who took my order was very understanding when I inquired how long it would take to prepare my order. He said 25 minutes tops, which was perfect; I placed an order for a large (12 slices) Slaughterhouse Five pie and a Florentine hoagie. I arrived in about 15 minutes, after navigating through a neighborhood I never even knew existed, and nabbed a prime parking spot right in front of the restaurant.
Slice on Broadway is situated on a street that has a few small mom and pop businesses, houses, and a live track for the T (watch out!). They were finishing up my order when I walked in, but I was happy to wait a few extra minutes if it meant I was going to walk out of there with a piping hot pizza. My total came to $25 for the two items... the pizza itself was extremely reasonably priced ($16) given the quality of ingredients and overall size. The Slaughterhouse Five is topped with pepperoni, sausage, bacon, capicola and prosciutto -- I basically died and went to Italian heaven. I can't quite explain to you how hard it was to drive the extra 15 minutes home with that pizza in my car. It took everything I had in me to not grab a piece right out of the box at a red light!
The Florentine hoagie ($8), was good albeit a tad disappointing. I thought I was guaranteed a home run by selecting this proscuitto, mozzarella, spinach and pesto mayo combination, but when I got home and we opened the bag... wah wah wahhhhh. The sandwich was a rather petite 10" baguette and the fillings were skimpy. My boyfriend said he loved it, but I thought it left a lot to be desired. Perhaps it could've used some more proscuitto and spinach... whatever it was, it definitely could've been a little more substantial for the price. On the positive side, they do use fresh Breadworks baguettes, which are a nice and tasty touch.
If you need any evidence that I will go back to this place again and again, I can tell you that two days later, we had a conversation about what we should get to eat, and Slice on Broadway came up. Twice. Whenever we do decide to go back, I know the Slaughterhouse Five will be on the agenda, and possibly another more generic pizza as well, so that I can really experience all this place has to offer. You know, just in case that first delicious, perfect pizza didn't completely convince me.
