Rachel and I arrived at Slice Pizzeria a little earlier than Jolie and Camille, just in time to catch the last 10 minutes of happy hour. 2 words: abita pitcher. Huge and literally overflowing with beer (it sloshed all over the table when we tried to pour), this $5 pitcher was worth the trip to the downtown side of St. Charles. Our waitress was sweet and tried to get us another pitcher before the end of happy hour, but alas, her efforts were in vain and we were in no mood to spend $10 on it.
Back to the food side of things, the selling point of Slice Pizzeria is intuitive…you can buy pizza by the slice. We started things off with half salads all around; because it sounded so good, all four of us got the spinach salad with mushrooms, red onions, pine nuts, and pepperoni bacon. The salad came with a gorgonzola smeared crostini. We all agreed that they were stingy on the gorgonzola and the salads a little dry. Overall the salads weren’t terrible, just less than amazing.
There were many interesting and delicious sounding pizza options, Jolie and Rachel got a slice each of the Spinach, Artichoke, and Sundried Tomato; Camille got a slice of “Fresh” which included basil, mozzarella, and tomatoes; I got a slice of Bacon, Basil, and Garlic. All of the slices were delish. I especially liked the whole cloves of roasted garlic that lay like landmines on my pizza. Slice Pizzeria offers unique and inexpensive pizza options as well as copious cheap beer.
