Thank you for choosing SLYCE, where pizza is our passion. We have preserved the art of making hand crafted artisanal coal fired pizzas. Our mission is simple: Have a simple menu that allows us to focus special attention to every ingredient that comes into our building. We choose and use the best quality ingredients possible. We do not believe in premade, mass produced food. We source locally grown or raised products whenever possible and use one of the cleanest natural burning resources to heat our ovens. At SLYCE less is more, as our fresh ingredients are delicately placed, not piled on, to create a perfectly balanced pie. Our dough is made in house daily, hand stretched to order, and baked next to a burning pile of coal giving it a thin, bubbly crust with charred edges and leopard spotting on the bottom. So sit back and relax, as we hand craft you one of your favorite, perfectly charred pies.

This is one of our favorite restaurants. Have never had anything but great experiences here. Seemed like each time one of our party ordered; someone else at the table re-evaluated their selection and changed their order. The choices are really good, it would be hard to go wrong. Our Server was patient with the changes and did a great job. Everyones food was excellent and we had a great time catching up with old friends. Thanks

As always, the experience at MainStreet Social was superb. Food was excellent and of course Shanna took great care of us during our meal. I’m a regular, but I introduced MainStreet Social to two work colleagues who are new to Libertyville. They were extremely pleased.
