Slice for a pizzeria: the flat fee, worked out

Updated October 21, 20264 min readRomain Ferrand — pizzaiolo, 12 years in trucks and dining rooms

Slice is the one American ordering platform built only for independent pizzerias, and it charges a flat fee per order instead of a percentage: $3 per online order on its $39-a-month plan, or $2 per online or phone order on the $99-a-month plan, plus card processing. That is far cheaper than a delivery app on a big ticket. It is still a fee on every order, and the customer still orders “on Slice.”

What Slice costs

Slice publishes its pricing. The Online Growth plan is $39 a month plus $3 per credit card order. The Complete Growth plan is $99 a month plus $2 per online or phone order, with a one-time $1,000 implementation fee, and it adds phone and in-store ordering. Neither plan charges the per-order fee on orders under $10. Card processing is 2.9% + 30¢ on every plan. Delivery by Slice’s Flex Delivery starts at $6.90 an order.

On a $30 order, $3 is 10%: still well below what a delivery app charges, which is why so many independents use it. On a $60 family order it is 5%, and the advantage of a flat fee grows with the ticket.

When Slice is the right tool

  • You want a marketplace that only lists pizzerias. On Slice you aren’t competing with burgers and sushi, only with other pizza shops.
  • You need phone ordering and a kiosk handled too. The Complete plan covers online, phone and in-store.
  • Your tickets are large. A flat fee is kinder to a $70 order than any percentage.

Where your own site still wins

Slice is a partner, but it is also a marketplace, and a customer who orders through the Slice app sees your competitors one swipe away. On 150 orders a month the per-order fee alone is $300 to $450. A site in your own name, on your own domain, takes the regulars’ orders for a flat monthly price and nothing per pie, and it keeps working whatever ordering company you use next. Plenty of pizzerias run both: Slice or DoorDash for discovery, their own site for the people who already know them.
