What is Slice?
Slice is a company that creates a special online platform. This platform helps independent pizza restaurants. It allows them to easily take orders from customers online. Customers can use the Slice app or a website to order their pizza.
The company says that over 9,000 pizza places use their platform. These pizzerias are in more than 2,500 towns and cities across the United States. Since 2010, Slice has helped process over 12 million pizza orders. In 2017 alone, they handled more than $100 million worth of deliveries.
Slice's Journey
Slice was started in 2010 by a person named Ilir Sela. When it first began, the company was called MyPizza. Over time, Slice grew bigger and needed more money to expand.
In July 2016, Slice received about $3 million from investors. This money helped them improve their platform. The next year, in May 2017, they raised even more money, about $15 million. A company called GGV Capital led this investment.
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 shops keep their businesses going during this time.
