Exciting New Slice House Pizza Set to Open on Broadway: A Delight for Denver Foodies

Update Broadway Welcomes a Taste of the West Coast Denver is on the verge of getting a fresh slice of trendy dining with the upcoming opening of Slice House, a highly-anticipated pizza franchise. Set to debut at 555 N. Broadway, this new eatery is the brainchild of Jamey Cutter, a West Coast native who is eager to woo pizza lovers, especially those with roots on the East Coast. If Cutter's past experiences and the rave reviews from diners hold true, this pizza joint could very well become the talk of the town. The Slice House Experience Slice House aims to captivate palates with four distinct styles of pizza. Featuring everything from six varieties of New York style to Sicilian, Detroit, and a family-revered 'grandma' style, the menu promises something for everyone. Particularly noteworthy is the Colorado-inspired hatch green chile pizza, showcasing a unique blend of local flavors, including pineapple salsa and Cholula-soaked chicken. With menu prices expected to hover between $6 to $8 for a slice, the restaurant also offers a range of pastas, wings, and salads, but it’s the pizza that Cutter believes will speak for itself. "Once you try it, it’ll speak for itself. We’re getting rave reviews, especially from the East Coasters,” he affirmed. The Man Behind the Franchise Jamey Cutter is no stranger to the food industry. With a resume that includes experience as a regional manager for Jamba Juice and ownership of the Corner Bakery franchise in Denver, he brings a wealth of knowledge and passion to his new venture. He first encountered Slice House while visiting family in California and was blown away by the pizza quality. Since then, he has become deeply dedicated to replicating that experience in Colorado, particularly in vibrant and growing communities like Broadway. The decision to franchise at this point in time aligns with a broader trend in the food industry, where consumers increasingly seek innovative and authentic dining experiences. As affirmed by references from other franchise signings, such as the new Boulder location, interest in Slice House is rapidly spreading across the state. Location and Accessibility Cutter selected his Broadway location strategically. With convenient access points to Speer Boulevard and Interstate 25, the restaurant is ideally positioned to attract both local residents and travelers alike. Additional benefits include ample parking for take-out and considerable foot traffic during the weekends, an essential factor in his planning. The Future of Slice House in Colorado As Slice House prepares for its opening, excitement grows among stakeholders. Jamey Cutter’s contract allows for seven locations across the state, with plans for at least two or three in the Denver area. The build-out cost is projected to reach $750,000, and Cutter hopes to open the doors in the fourth quarter of this year. The successful execution of this new franchise could well signal the start of a meaningful change in the local pizza landscape. Why This Matters to the Community For residents and business owners alike, the debut of Slice House signifies more than just a new dining option; it represents investment, job creation, and culinary diversity. With knowledge gained from years of successful food service, Cutter's venture indicates a promising trajectory that reflects a thriving economy in the Denver area. As a parent, single, or homeowner, having more dining options enriches community engagements and family outings. It allows for experiences built around enjoyment, convenience, and satisfaction, providing further value to local living. The people of Denver have a new flavor of pizza on the horizon, and judging by Cutter's enthusiasm and vision, it's bound to deliver.
