About Slice Score
Finding exceptional pizza shouldn't be a game of chance.
Our Story
Slice Score was born from a simple frustration: restaurant reviews don't tell the whole story about pizza quality. While you can find plenty of reviews about a restaurant's service or ambiance, it's harder to discover if they're serving authentic Neapolitan-style pizza with that perfect char, or if their New York slice has the right fold and chew.
As a passionate pizza lover, I created Slice Score to solve this problem. I wanted a platform dedicated to what really matters in a pizzeria – the quality of their crust, the balance of their sauce, the meltiness of their cheese, and the harmony of their toppings. A place where fellow pizza enthusiasts could share detailed insights about pizza styles, cooking methods, and authentic techniques.

This detailed approach helps you find pizzerias that excel in the aspects that matter most to you, whether you prioritize a perfectly charred crust or generous, high-quality toppings.

What Makes Pizza Great?
Pizza Styles Matter
From Neapolitan and New York to Detroit and Chicago deep dish, each pizza style has its own characteristics and standards of excellence. Slice Score helps you find pizzerias that excel in your preferred style, whether you're craving a thin, crispy Roman-style pizza or a thick, fluffy Sicilian square.
Cooking Methods
The difference between a good pizza and a great one often comes down to how it's cooked. Wood-fired, coal-fired, electric deck ovens, or conveyor belt – each method produces different results. Our platform highlights pizzerias using authentic cooking methods for their style, so you can find that perfect stone-fired pizza with beautiful leoparding.
Quality Ingredients
Great pizza starts with great ingredients. From the type of flour used in the dough to the quality of cheese and freshness of toppings, Slice Score helps you find pizzerias that don't cut corners on ingredients, whether they're using imported San Marzano tomatoes or locally-sourced fresh mozzarella.
Craft & Technique
Pizza-making is an art form that requires skill and experience. Our detailed rating system helps you identify pizzerias where the pizzaiolos have mastered their craft – from proper dough fermentation and handling to achieving the perfect balance of toppings.
