This is only original Slyce left in the suburbs. I love their outdoor patio seating for the summer. Their menu offers a robust selection of cocktails, hot/cold tea and large food portions. The 12" pizza + salads feed two people. The waiter praised the creamy basil soup and it will be next on my list to try. They offer gluten free crust, dairy free cheese & veggie options. I will be back & highly recommend to pizza lovers. read more

I don't hand out glowing reviews lightly. The food is the standout. The pizza is exceptional--perfectly cooked crust with toppings that are fresh, flavorful, and clearly high quality. Every bite feels deliberate, not just thrown together. The salads deserve just as much attention, which isn't always the case at pizza spots. They're fresh, vibrant, and with ingredients that actually taste like they were chosen with care rather than convenience. What really elevates this place, though, is the service. The staff is consistently attentive without hovering--friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making sure you have a great experience. Management clearly sets the tone here; you can feel that level of care in how smoothly everything runs and how valued customers are made to feel. The manager went out of her way to make sure our allergy needs were met and never made us feel anything we requested was too much to ask. She cared. It's rare to find a restaurant that executes so well across the board--food, service, and atmosphere--but this one does it effortlessly. Whether you're stopping in for a casual meal or something a bit more special, it delivers every time. Highly recommend, and definitely a place I'll keep coming back to. read more

I was a huge lover of Subterranean up north in Chicago because of their coal fired pizza but this restaurant exceeded expectations! Every dish was delicious. The ingredients were selected for a perfect pairing; they were simple and fresh. It allowed for each item to shine! Although it was a little pricey for us we got almost $30 discounted from our check because they had discount menu specials! read more

Had a very good experience here! Happy hour is such a good deal here with drinks half off and 25% off pizzas. The staff was very friendly. The holiday drinks were very good and so was the pizza we had! Cute restaurant, would visit again! read more

SLYCE Coal Fired Pizza Company - Cippollini dip - Pizza Near Me - Wauconda, Illinois

Slyce has always been a go-to for delicious food, and it continues to deliver on that front. I've been a fan of the Grecian salad for a while, but I've noticed that they've changed some of the ingredients recently, and it doesn't quite taste as good as it used to. On the bright side, they introduced a new pizza featuring creamy pesto, pepperoni, Calabrian chili, and honey, and it is absolutely delicious! This might just become our new go-to choice when we visit. We always order the Baked Cipollini and Whipped Cheese dip, but I have to say that it tends to be overly oily every time we get it. It could use a bit of tweaking to improve the texture. Overall, we really enjoy coming to Slyce and will definitely keep returning. Just looks like we might need to mix up our usual orders a bit! Also, whatever happened to the chocolates they used to give out with the check? Those were such a sweet touch! read more

Great service and food !!! Love coming here!! We always love trying their pizza of the month. Amazing salads too!!

Tried Slyce for lunch and ordered the #14 pizza, Italian table salad, and panino sandwiches. Portions are huge and easy to share. The salad was hearty and fresh, the panino had perfectly crunchy bread with lots of meat, and the coal-fired pizza was crispy yet soft inside (though I'd like a bit more topping). Overall, a great spot for a satisfying lunch! read more

Coal fired pizza comes out fast but it's also good. If you like this style then you should try this place. SLYCE is certainly the best pizza place in Wauconda. Also pizza needs a few drinks like beer. There's plenty of that as well as other items like salads. After looking around town we came here to eat. It has coal fired pizza, which we like because it comes out fast. This restaurant also has plenty of libations. Beer and liquor to choose from. Since pizza is Italian food, I got an appropriate drink, a Housemade Limoncello. It's $8, the cheapest cocktail. This was kind of like a hard lemonade. As for the pizza, we got the build your own choice. It's about $15 plus a bit more for toppings. Has vegan choices including cheese. The end product was pretty costly, which is the only complaint about this place. It can easily cost over $20 for a pizza with a few things on it. The pizza is a good size though. Get your pizza fast and thoroughly cooked. If you can't wait long for regular pizza, then come here and get it coal fired. There's plenty of choices for meat eaters as well as vegans and vegetarians. read more

The pizza has that perfect crispy crust from the coal-fired oven, and the ingredients always taste fresh and high quality. You can really tell they care about flavor and consistency read more

My opinion has not changed one iota. Best coal fired pizza in the Chicagoland area. From the Coal Fired Goat Cheese to the sorbet todays lunch was on point. Now that they offer a make your own pizza with an option from the sauces I usually make my own cream based pizza with whatever toppings strike my fancy that particular day. But almost always include prosciutto and burrata. Today despite the cold I chose to have a dessert of lemon blueberry sorbeto excellent foil to the very rich pizza. Thank you Slyce we look forward to our next visit! read more

My family and I ate here tonight and the service was unacceptable. For starters one of the waiters kept bumping into the back of my chair without apologizing. Every time he passed behind me he was bumping into my chair. Our waiter service was unacceptable. Didn't offer any refills on our soda or the water. Only time he came around was for the check and even then he left us waiting. The food was great but the service really left a bad taste in our mouth. read more

My husband and I met my sister and my brother-in-law here a few weeks ago, and none of us were here before then. When we got here, it was dead, but we got here right at opening, on a Sunday when football was on, so it was probably dead for a while because this isn't a sports bar that has TVs. When we got here, we were seated right away. Our waitress was very nice and attentive and she was patient with us as we didn't know what we wanted for probably 15 minutes since we were catching up instead of looking at the menu. I ordered a beer, and my brother-in-law did, too, while my sister and husband just chose to drink water. When it came to the food order, my husband and I wanted a caesar salad and pizza, and so did my sister and her husband, so we ended up getting a large Caesar salad to share and 2 separate pizzas. The Caesar salad was amazing (I know, it's JUST a salad); it had flavorful homemade croutons made of fresh bread, and was full of shaved parmesan, and delicious artichoke hearts. They also stacked the salad HIGH in the bowl, and it was the perfect amount for all 4 of us to share. Admittedly, it was one of the best Caesar salads I ever had. My husband and I ordered a pepperoni pizza with white sauce to share, and we were so excited to try it, but when it came, it had red sauce on it instead of white. My husband was so sad because he doesn't really like red sauce too much, but I didn't even notice it was red until I was eating it already and he told me. We didn't bother telling our waitress it was wrong because the pizza was still delicious (just a bit disappointing with the mix-up), and the coal-fire crust was fluffy and the perfect amount of burnt. Coal fire is my absolute favorite type of pizza and it didn't disappoint. My sister and her husband ordered a mushroom pizza (I think) but regardless, they really loved their pizza, too! Overall, I would like to come back here and try a few different pizzas, especially the white-sauced ones. This place is a bit pricy for 12'' pizza, but I feel like most coal-fire places are more expensive than "normal" pizza places. I have been to more expensive coal-fire places, so I didn't think the price was terrible, though it does get expensive when you make your own and add extra toppings. read more

Nice atmosphere and great service .. nice area to hang out and party outside for the summer time

This place gets buzy!!! We were there on a Tuesday night and we still waited for a few minutes to get a table. When we got our food, it was evident why this place gets so buzy! We ordered 4 pizzas for 4 adults, 1 cheesy bread and 3 deserts. Our bill with tips came to $150. There was plenty of parking out front and the place smells heavenly with the charcoal oven aroma. read more

First review in a LONG while, but one I'm happy to write about! Today I had the pleasure of visiting SYLCE, a pizza joint in a town I do NOT know. Upon entry we were greeted by lovely waitresses, and the service on top of that throughout the night was superb. The food, KILLER!!! I loved my pizza. Wasn't the top of the top, but still magnifico notheless. I'll give this place 4 stars!!! Great pricing, great food, cannot go wrong!!! read more

What a gem! Casual dining but good for dates too - nice vibe overall. It was busy here Saturday noon. We appreciated that they have lunch menu throughout the week, from which you could order six inch personal size pizza (they are still bigger than normal 6 inches.) Food is cooked fresh so it took a while. But it's totally worth it. Everything we ordered is great. Pizza has more varieties and more European style with fresh ingredients. We had a great time - highly recommended! read more

Great food, great service, and really cool restaurant vibes inside. Forget about the 1 bite pizza review guy from Nantuckets. This place has high quality food, everything is scratch made. We had the #1, #8, and #17 pizzas. The spinach artichoke dip is great as an app. read more

Went here for dinner with my husband and two kids. The kids split a pizza, half cheese and half pepperoni, and my husband and I enjoyed one of the pizzas off of the menu. I cannot remember which one it was but it was absolutely delicious. We all finished every bite. We were sat immediately and the service was wonderful. 10/10 recommend this place. read more

Take out order from 9/21 Ordered a Sicilian and #7 pizza. Entire pizza was burnt. Also found several heads of lettuce in the salad. Heads of lettuce are not edible and dirty. The heads are difficult to clean due to the layering folds. Disappointed from what used to be a great spot. Poor management and declining of quality. Left several messages but never heard back. read more

SLYCE Coal Fired Pizza Company - Sicilian Salad and #7 pizza - Pizza Near Me - Wauconda, Illinois

I'd say this experience was a 2.5 overall. I'll keep this one short as there's not too much to say. My family came here following a wake and I will say that the service was great. Friendly and enthusiastic workers are always a good thing, I'd give them the full 5 stars. That said, the food and ambiance were disappointing. We got several pizzas, salads, and chicken wings. The flavors were on point but the execution fell flat. The pizzas were overdone and burned on the bottom and edges in spots. The chicken wings were crispy on the outside but underdone and pink on the inside. Both of those are big negatives. We were cold inside and realized when we left that they had a window open next to our table, a big problem for mid November after dark! The lights hanging above our table had cobwebs so I question the cleanliness of this spot as well. I don't think I'd come back based off my experience but maybe they just had a bad day, the flavors were good so if they could avoid putting out poorly cooked food they would be worth a higher score. read more

I ordered delivery and received a burned pizza. Bottom was black and burned, top was black and burned. Called to ask management for a new pizza or a refund. No answer. Emailed the next day. No answer. Received a "we miss you" email weeks later, responded with a request for a refund. No answer. Poorly managed company that is happy to serve you garbage instead of food. If you must order from this place, please do so in person, or you'll run the risk of being ripped off like I was. Very disappointing for a local business. read more

I have heard so many things about SLYCE!!! Let me say that the food was delicious. The restaurant is very casual and with good amount of seating. The service was good at first but considering I had made reservation early for 5 @ 5pm. But once it got busy through out the night the waitress forgot to check on us and she didn't bring my sister her beverages that she ordered at all. I would go back for the food and I don't blame the waitress or even mad just wish she was more attentive of our table. We ordered 2 appetizers ( goat cheese dip with bread - is amazing) ( Italian stuffed mushrooms tasted very fresh and hot ) and 2 pizzas (the pesto was a monthly special and the arugula pizza with prosciutto) and a bottle of wine. read more

Came in for my birthday dinner with a group of friends. This place never disappoints us! Pizza is so good. Enjoyed a bottle of wine too!

The food here is fantastic. We ordered the spinach and artichoke dip, caesar salad, and a pizza. It was more than enough food for two people and we wound up with leftovers. We came on a Friday night with no reservation and were seated immediately inside. They do have outdoor seating, but it was taken/reserved. We will definitely be back! read more

I would have given a 5 star if not for the Pancetta. Oh Pancetta. You are a wonderful Italian bacon. When cooked properly. This poor pizza however, showed up with fatty gristle and some parts even appeared raw. Yuck. You wanna ruin a night out with the wife. Serve up a pizza like that. Thank goodness a bottle of Rex Hill saved the day along with the Blue Cheese Salad which was totally on point. The small size is more than enough for two. Slyce: Service was outstanding. They comp'd our pizza. The manager apologized and was very professional. Waiter was a 5 star. Good Crew of folks working there... besides the pancetta guy making my pie. read more

Pros: Great selection of pizza and other food, nice patio Cons: Pizza has a very hard crust and expensive for 12 inch. The cheapest is $13, others are $16 and most are $19. For that price, I would expect a 14 inch pizza or larger AND/OR a side salad or bread to start. For the price, I think this place falls short. read more

Okay, here we go. Went there twice. The ambience was nice. Staff was friendly. First time I had a 12" cheese pizza. I thought it was really good, had a nice charred favor on the edges (not overwhelming). Didn't order any toppings because they were pricey. Second time I went there I had a Greek salad. Had a good amount of "goodies". Don't let the size fool you, it was enough for two. Tasty and not disappointed. The kitchen is an open concept so you could see the chefs working. You could also see one of the chefs sneezing without covering his mouth. He did turn away from the counter and sneezed towards a metal rack that had food on it (look closely at the image). Pretty disgusting and it totally grossed me out . To the management: make sure you have chefs that have half a brain and common sense if not please make them wear a mask! read more

We had a reservation and we were seated fairly quickly. Our waitress was very attentive continually filling up our water glasses. It us a fairly noisy restaurant with a sports bar atmosphere. We got a delicious table salad that everyone really enjoyed. There was plenty for the four of us which was great. We had sausage pizza. The sauce on the pizza was really, really yummy and the pizza was also yummy. We would definitely go back! read more

Omg ! Stumbled upon this place when we started house hunting in Illinois and to our surprise this place out in no where in a shed like kitchen looking place had one of the best wood fired pizza I have ever had.
