If everyone loves pizza, then why are all the great mom-and-pop local pizza joints closing? Big pizza chains and big corporate delivery services are all taking a big bite out of the independent pizza market across the country. But don’t worry - there’s an app for that. Slice, is a pizza ordering platform dedicated to empowering local pizzerias with the tools, tech, and marketing to compete with big chains. For the pizza lover, the mobile and online service makes it easy order from authentic pizzerias in their neighborhood. Joining us in-studio is Ilir Sela the Founder and CEO of Slice. Albanian born and raised in Staten Island, Ilir's friends and family owned and operated pizzerias in the greater New York City, including a family-owned pizzeria in Manhattan in the 70s, making him 3rd generation in the pizzeria industry.
