The owners and
management at
Slyce Pizza Bar are
enthusiastic about
their concept. They
are opening their
second location
any day now, and
that opening will be
followed by a third
store not long after.
They have a growth
plan in place and
their stores are
going to be beautiful.

With much of the
attention on the
nation's fast-casual
pizza leader, there
is another side
of this segment,
the independents
making a go of
fast-casual. They
are navigating this
new terrain and
it's clear that fast
casual is unlike
any other pizza
category.

pp. 38-40)

I was fascinated to
investigate the rise
of fast-casual pizza
players across
the country. Think
about this: just
six or seven years
ago, this segment
didn't even exist.
Now, fast casual
pizza is among the
fastest-growing
foodservice
categories and it
shows no signs of
slowing.

What amazed me was
how many low-sodium
pizza tweaks are
possible, and how the
challenge of lowering
sodium isn't as complicated as one might
think. Creative use
of unique ingredients
is truly what sets a
healthy menu option
apart from standard
fare.
