slice shop

By-the-piece pizzeria

A slice shop is a pizzeria that sells pizza by the slice rather than exclusively as whole pies.

The term is most common in New York City, where grabbing a slice is a quintessential street food experience: There's a good slice shop on the corner.

Slice shops typically display pre-made pizzas in glass cases, reheating individual slices to order.
