The Slice, a pizzeria located in downtown Simpsonville, is adding rooftop dining this spring. 

The rooftop expansion will add 55 seats, bringing the capacity to serve around 150 people at any given time, according to a news release.

Located at 134 S. Main St., The Slice’s rooftop will feature a bar and an area for live music. It is in the final stages of design and owners anticipate construction to begin within the next month, with the rooftop slated to be open to patrons in late spring. The general contractor for this project is Chad McDowell with IHRS Construction, according to the Crawford Agency.

“Adding a rooftop experience to our pizzeria and expanding space for people to gather is an investment into the community that we love and call home,” said Mike Baldassarra, partner and general manager at The Slice. “We want to create a community hub on Main Street that can be a place for everyone — whether it be a date night, a celebration after a little league game or to enjoy some live music.”

As a family-owned pizzeria located in the heart of downtown Simpsonville, The Slice features New York Style pizza. Its menu includes a variety of pizzas made with dough that’s made fresh daily, pasta dishes from The Pasta Addict and other pizzeria favorites.

“The city of Simpsonville is thrilled that The Slice is offering expanded space for its amazing fare and providing a fun roof-top experience for our residents and visitors overlooking South Main Street,” said Dianna Gracely, Simpsonville city administrator. “This is exactly the type of local investment we love to see in our city.”
