City Slice Pizzeria Opens New Location in Cleveland's St. Clair-Superior Neighborhood

City Slice, St. Clair

Since opening three years ago on the city’s west side, City Slice Pizzeria (12021 Lorain Ave., 216-273-7504) has been flying through slices like nobody’s business. The bustling shop offers a ready choice of massive slices carved from eye-popping 40-inch pies. Now, fans of the New York-style pizza can grab a slice on either side of town. City Slice recently opened the doors to a second location (6217 St. Clair Ave.), this one in the St. Clair-Superior neighborhood. Like the original, the shop offers a choice of “mega” slices, which are reheated to order, and whole 18-inch pies. The pizza is joined by garlic knots, salads and subs. New to the east side are wings, loaded fries and chopped cheese sandwiches. Credit: Douglas Trattner

Since opening three years ago on the city’s west side, City Slice Pizzeria (12021 Lorain Ave., 216-273-7504) has been flying through slices like nobody’s business. The bustling shop offers a ready choice of massive slices carved from eye-popping 40-inch pies.

Now, fans of the New York-style pizza can grab a slice on either side of town. This week, City Slice opened the doors to a second location (6217 St. Clair Ave.), this one in the St. Clair-Superior neighborhood. Like the original, the shop offers a choice of “mega” slices, which are reheated to order, and whole 18-inch pies. The pizza is joined by garlic knots, salads and subs.

New to the east side are wings, loaded fries and chopped cheese sandwiches.

For owner Vanessa Reyes, the move east is a bit of a homecoming. She grew up in the area and has been watching the progress taking place in the neighborhood. Her new shop is located across the street from Saint Martin de Porres High School, in an area with few food options, she said.

“When I saw that it was kind of a food desert, I thought it was perfect,” she says.

The goal is to bring the same level of dedication to the food, service and setting that has made the west side shop a success for three years.

“We’re trying to emulate as much as we can the store on the west side,” adds Reyes.
