The Founder of Chicago’s Original Jumbo Slice Franchise Shares His Humble Beginnings to Inspire Others to Live Out Their Dreams
Slice Factory – a Chicago-based pizza, home of Chicago’s original jumbo slice, focusing on creating a welcoming, family-like experience – is thrilled to share its franchise opportunities and plans for expansion beyond the Chicagoland area. The iconic brand is seeking regional development to introduce the authentic Chicago’s original jumbo pizza slice to new markets throughout the Midwest. With Slice Factory currently operating 13 successful locations, the franchise is eager to inspire and empower new franchisees to embark on their entrepreneurial journey, build their wealth, and ultimately become part of the Slice Factory family while living out the “American Dream.”
The story of Slice Factory traces back to the Founder and CEO, Dom DiDiana, along with his parents and siblings, who left their beloved home in Italy to begin their next chapter in the United States. Driven by the deep desire to achieve success and create a better life, the DiDiana family opened its first restaurant in 1998, fueled with a passion for authentic Italian cuisine and an unwavering determination. The vision was simple, to bring the flavors of Italy to their new home. Over the years, their relentless dedication, tireless efforts and the creation of Chicago’s original jumbo slice not only garnered a loyal customer base but also positioned the business for the momentous success that the franchise enjoys today.
“I hope my story can ignite the fire with more individuals, encouraging them to embrace our passion for quality pizza, entrepreneurial spirit and living out the ‘American Dream,’” said DiDiana. “Through our franchise program, we offer the opportunity to share the joy of the Chicago jumbo slice with more communities throughout the Midwest. We are excited to be able to help others write their own success stories.”
Slice Factory envisions being every neighborhood’s favorite pizza shop by offering a unique experience while celebrating both family and food. Slice Factory is expanding throughout the Chicagoland area by operating 13 locations, with another brand new restaurant opening in Lyons, IL. In addition to its famous slices, the brand also serves wings, specialty fries, and fresh, made-to-order salads. A fast, convenient, one-of-a-kind experience is created through their strong focus on innovation, evident through their take on drive-thru service, which includes their signature Slice Thru. Slice Factory is also one of the prominent leaders of technological advancements in the pizza industry, being recognized by Pizza Marketplace’s “Top 100 Movers and Shakers.” Additionally, Slice Factory has a strong focus on community involvement. Partnering with the communities they serve through their “Pizza with Purpose” program, the brand supports local fundraisers and other events.
“We are thrilled by our ongoing expansion and our role as major players in the quick-service pizza industry, said DiDiana. “With our innovative Slice Thru and our continued commitment to giving back to the communities we serve, we are confident in our lasting positive impact. As a family-run company, we eagerly look forward to growing our family throughout the Midwest.”
Slice Factory is actively looking for experienced entrepreneurs to expand their brand. Experience working in the food industry is preferred, but not required. The Slice Factory corporate team goes above and beyond to ensure its franchise partners have everything they need to efficiently run their business and continue carrying out its goal of bringing the ultimate family pizza experience. There is a franchise fee of $39,500 with a total investment of $210,000 to $356,000.
