Slice House by Tony Gemignani opens first Texas pizzeria in Frisco

Slice House by Tony Gemignani has opened a Frisco location at 5995 Preston Road, marking what company and press materials describe as the brand’s first store in Texas. The fast-casual concept will serve artisanal pizzas by the slice or whole and pasta, expanding local dining choices along a busy retail strip that has seen steady restaurant growth.

Reporting on the opening contains inconsistent timelines. A local report by Hannah Johnson noted that the franchise “was set to open Jan. 24, but opened early Jan. 2.” The brand’s Facebook post invited the public to “opening our doors in Frisco on Friday, January 23, marking our very first Slice House in Texas. Come celebrate with award-winning pizza.” An Instagram post emphasizes the store is “NOW OPEN” and lists the address as 5995 Preston Road, Frisco, TX 75034. The Dallas Observer described the site as “the 28th location” and said it “is now open at 5995 Preston Road in Frisco,” while a Community Impact release quoted Tony Gemignani saying, “We are very excited to bring Slice House to Texas with the opening of our first location in Frisco.”

Slice House’s corporate site lists Frisco among a string of “Locations Coming Soon,” alongside Boulder, CO; Granite Bay, CA; Gilbert, AZ; Livermore, CA; Millbrae, CA; and Porter Ranch, CA, and uses the tagline “Your Event. Our Food,” suggesting catering and event services may be part of the brand’s local offering. The Dallas Observer’s 28th-location phrasing, the corporate coming-soon list, and multiple social posts collectively point to a broader national expansion strategy that now includes Collin County.

For Frisco residents the arrival signals modest competitive pressure for nearby pizzerias and fast-casual concepts, and the potential for new jobs in front- and back-of-house operations. It also gives office workers and families on Preston Road another quick-serve option for slices or whole pies and a likely addition to weekend catering options. Specific operational details such as hours, full menu, pricing, dine-in capacity, and whether the Frisco site is company-owned or franchised were not disclosed in available materials and should be confirmed with store management or corporate communications.

The opening reflects a broader industry trend of artisanal and chef-driven fast-casual brands scaling through franchising and targeted market entries. For local consumers, Slice House offers a new choice; for nearby restaurateurs, it is another entrant in an increasingly competitive Collin County food scene.
