A Dine-in building, Take-out\/Commissary, and a home converted into offices comprise the operation that pounds out over 8.5 Million dollars worth of New York Style Pizza, Subs, Salads, and Garlic Knots each year. This tremendous volume easily makes this pizzeria one of the busiest in the country.<\/p>\n<p>Seeing a need for authentic New York Style Pizza in Austin; Home Slice was established in 2005 by Jen &#038; Joseph Strickland, Terri Hannifin, and 33 private investors with the mission to \u201cCreate an Austin Institution, based on the original, unfailing goodness of authentic New York Style Pizza\u201d \u2013 with no compromises.<\/p>\n<p>When asked what made their pizza different from others, Jeff Mettler, Special Projects Manager, responded that \u201cHome Slice Pizza is bona fide and legit. It is made with care and compassion and with the knowledge and responsibility of health and vitality. We do not cut corners; we do not cheat. We respect the craft and respect the craftsmen. We walk the path by those before us and meet the responsibility of making the world better for those who will follow us. All of this is to say simply, \u201cfood is made with Love. And Love is everything.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The owner, Jen Strickland who has been dubbed the \u201cQueen of Pies,\u201d learned how to make New York Style Pizza from a mentor named Angelo in Flemington, NJ. Angelo allowed her and her husband Joseph to spend two weeks with him doing an internship of sorts; learning old-school methods from a real East Coast pizzaiolo. Having a solid business plan, building financial projections, establishing an unwavering commitment to quality, and having a demographic starved for authentic pizza led to virtually instant success for Home Slice Pizza. In an industry that sees a failure rate as high as 60%, Home Slice became profitable within six months and surpassed their sales projections. <\/p>\n<p>See the whole 23-minute profile by subscribing to perfectingpizza.com<\/p>\n<h3>More info on Real Pizza Episode 1: Food is Love &#8211; Sneak Peek<\/h3>\n<div class=\"ss-local-rss\"><div class=\"rss_header\"><h2><a href=\"https:\/\/cn.bing.com\/news\/search\/?q=Real+Pizza+Episode+1%3A+Food+is+Love+-+Sneak+Peek&amp;qft=sortbydate%3D%221%22&amp;format=rss\" rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"rss_title\">Real Pizza Episode 1: Food is Love - Sneak Peek - BingNews<\/a><br \/><span class=\"rss_description\"> Search results<\/span><\/h2><\/div><ul>\n            <li>\t\t\t\t<span class=\"title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bing.com\/news\/apiclick.aspx?ref=FexRss&amp;aid=&amp;tid=663f9bd413f94793a8bc813c94b8f508&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.yahoo.com%2Fentertainment%2Frestaurants-rules-season-1-streaming-123242149.html&amp;c=15401332337657779519&amp;mkt=en-us\" rel=\"nofollow\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tMy Restaurants Rules Season 1 Streaming: Watch &amp; Stream Online via Amazon Prime Video\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>My Restaurant Rules Season 1 is a 2004-released reality culinary series.
