The idea behind City Slice started from a shared experience of the “stateside” pizzeria culture—the kind of place where you step in after a long day, grab a slice, and stay a little longer than planned. When the founders brought that vision to Manila, they aimed to recreate not just the pizza, but also the atmosphere—a balance between the energy of the city and the comfort of a lounge.
At its core, City Slice focuses on New York-style pizza, known for its wide slices, crisp crust, and balanced toppings. The dough is made using wheat flour with 60% hydration and fermented for 72 hours, allowing it to develop flavor and structure. Each pizza is baked in a three-layer deck electric oven, with temperatures reaching 320°C on top and 380°C at the bottom, then cooked for 6 to 7 minutes to achieve a crisp yet chewy texture.

The menu highlights pizzas made with locally sourced ingredients, carefully assembled by a team of skilled pizzaiolos. The kitchen is led by three head chefs, each bringing a different level of experience and expertise—from seasoned industry veterans to specialists in pizza craftsmanship—working together to maintain consistency and quality.
Among the recommended dishes is the Chicken Bacon Ranch (starting at Php 325), combining savory and creamy flavors in a classic crowd-favorite combination.
