A famed pizzeria from California is coming to Texas, starting right here in the Dallas area: Slice House by Tony Gemignani, the fast-casual pizza brand by world-renowned pizzaiolo Tony Gemignani, will open its first Texas location in Frisco at 5995 Preston Rd. #102, in a storefront that was once a grilled cheese place.

According to a release, it'll open in January 2026.

Gemignani is the 13-time World Pizza Champion who, inspired by a pizzeria in Naples, Italy, founded Tony's Pizza Napoletana in San Francisco in 2009. He opened the first Slice House — a fast-casual concept — in 2010, then began franchising in 2023. There are now nearly 30 locations open and many more coming soon.

The concept features an extensive menu with four styles of crust:

• traditional New York
• homestyle Grandma
• rustic Sicilian
• Detroit-style

… all available by the slice or whole pizza.

“Opening our first Texas location in the heart of Frisco is a huge milestone for Slice House,” Gemignani says in a statement. “With the dedication of our brand partner, Daniel Hawkins, we look forward to becoming part of the local community and sharing our signature menu and Slice House craft as we expand into the South.”

Slice House Frisco will feature an expansive menu of Gemignani’s famous New York, Sicilian, Grandma, and Detroit style pizzas available by the slice or whole pizza with gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian options available, as well as pasta, wings, and salads.

The drink menu will include craft beers and premium wines, in addition to non-alcoholic sodas and juices.

The new pizza spot will have indoor seating for 30, outdoor seating for 8, and will offer takeout, online ordering, and delivery. It will be open seven days a week – from 11 am-9 pm Sunday-Thursday and until 10 pm on Friday-Saturday.

“We’re proud to partner with world champion pizzaiolo Tony Gemignani to introduce his acclaimed pizzas and artisanal offerings in Texas,” Hawkins says in a statement. “Slice House’s expansive pizza menu, commitment to quality, and lively atmosphere, will quickly make it a local favorite in Frisco. Whether guests are grabbing lunch with friends or taking a pizza home to enjoy with family, we can’t wait to open our doors and welcome everyone soon.”

Slice House Frisco will open in a shopping center that’s home to a mix of dining, retail, and service-oriented businesses, including Kolache Factory, Koto Hibachi and Sushi, and Classique Jewelers. There's another DFW location penciled in for McKinney, at 7851 El Dorado Pkwy., which is still "coming soon."
