When an independent pizzeria pairs great food with technology that keeps customers coming back

This is a Slice Family Story
Paul Englert, owner of Paulie’s Pizzeria in Schenectady, NY, runs a neighborhood favorite built on consistency, relationships, and repeat customers. As the shop grew, maintaining loyalty while keeping operations simple became essential.
That’s where Slice came in.
With Slice, Paulie’s was able to:
- Strengthen customer loyalty through Slice Family Membership
- Have real humans handle phone orders
- Simplify ordering with integrated Online Ordering and POS
- Reduce friction during busy shifts
- Focus on food, service, and long-term relationships
I can focus on making pizza, getting deliveries out the door, and making customers happy [because of Slice].
The partnership with Paulie’s shows how Slice helps independent pizzerias build stronger customer relationships, get time back in their day, and refocus on what really matters: the pizza and the community.
