Pizzeria Closure: Slice House Frisco Location Shuts Down
The fast-casual chain’s only Texas location closed in mid-October, though officials say plans for a reopening remain in development.
By Olivia Miller ·
Tony Gemignani’s pizzeria chain has closed its first Texas location in Frisco, ending a brief run that lasted less than a year. The restaurant at 5995 Preston Road, known as Slice House by Tony Gemignani, stopped serving customers in mid-October.
CultureMap Dallas first reported the quiet shutdown. A Slice House representative confirmed to the Houston Chronicle that the company is currently speaking with the property manager to determine the next steps for the site.
The company intends to reopen the franchise, but it has not announced a specific timeline. Until a new opening date is set, the brand is directing fans to follow the specific franchise on social media for updates.
Gemignani launched the original Tony's Coal-Fired Pizza & Slice House in 2010 in San Francisco. The location served as the model for the current franchise system. The representative stated the network now includes 38 open locations and 111 sites in various stages of development.
The Frisco outlet opened on Jan. 23, 2026. It marked the brand's debut in Texas. The menu featured four pizza styles: thin-sliced New York, deep-dish Detroit, pan-fried Grandma, and thick Sicilian.
Gemignani is a 13-time winner of the World Pizza Championship. Despite the temporary closure in Frisco, the representative said the company remains committed to opening more locations in the Dallas-Fort Worth market.
