Slice is an online platform that helps local pizza shops. It lets these pizzerias sell their delicious food to customers using a website that works well on phones. People can also order pizza through the Slice app or on social media. Slice helps thousands of pizza places across the United States. Since 2010, it has helped deliver millions of pizza orders.
How Slice Started
Slice was created in 2010 by a person named Ilir Sela. When it first started, it had a different name: MyPizza.
Growing the Company
To help the company grow, Slice received money from investors. In July 2016, they got $3 million. Then, in May 2017, they raised even more money, about $15 million, with help from a company called GGV Capital. This money helped Slice improve its services and reach more pizza shops.
Slice During the Pandemic
In 2020, Slice became even more important. This was because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Many restaurants had to close their dining areas. They needed to focus on delivering food or letting customers pick it up. Slice helped many pizza places keep serving their customers during this time.
