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.

Food was great and our server, Erin, was outstanding. She was the most enthusiastic, informative, and attentive server we have ever met. She mentioned how much she loved her job and it really showed.

Christmas Eve dinner. We had reservations and had to wait about 15 minutes to get seated but staff was on it and was very responsive. Every table was full. Our server Julien did a great job. He was friendly and courteous even with the overwhelming number of guests. He offered drinks and knew the menu. Salad was fresh and bread was warm. Main entrees were good. My chicken parm was a bit dry and not as pretty as usual, but again, probably busiest day of the year. Ambiance was loud and festive. After dinner coffee and cheesecake were delicious. Overall, a great experience.

This is by far the best Italian restaurant in the northern suburbs. The food is always amazing, as is the service. They are welcoming attentive and make you feel very special. I highly recommend Enzo and Lucia for any every day, dining, a special occasion or an amazing date night. Just make sure you make a reservation because I’m not the only person who feels this way about this restaurant.
