Slice House by Tony Gemignani is preparing to open its first Ventura location in July 2026, adding another chapter to the growing footprint of the fast-casual pizza franchise. Located at 1780 Victoria Avenue within Montalvo Square Shopping Center, the restaurant will offer a menu featuring multiple regional pizza styles, including New York, Detroit, Sicilian, Grandma, and California-inspired selections, alongside pastas, wings, salads, craft beer, and wine.
Founded by acclaimed pizzaiolo Tony Gemignani, Slice House has expanded steadily by combining artisan pizza-making with an approachable dining experience. The Ventura location will be operated by franchise partner Vinny Margott, a Ventura County native who sees the opening as an opportunity to bring a well-established concept to a community he knows well. The restaurant is expected to create approximately 20 jobs as hiring efforts begin ahead of the opening.
The new restaurant's location near Highway 101 positions it to serve both local residents and visitors traveling through the area. Surrounded by established retailers and neighborhood businesses, the site offers convenient access for dine-in guests while also supporting takeout, delivery, and online ordering options that have become increasingly important within the restaurant industry.
The opening reflects the continued evolution of modern restaurant franchising, where operational efficiency and customer convenience often go hand in hand. For franchise businesses seeking to connect ordering platforms, customer systems, and other essential technologies, Gorilla Dash offers an Integrations feature designed to help support more connected and streamlined operations across multiple business functions.
As Slice House continues its California expansion, the Ventura restaurant represents both a new dining destination and an investment in the local community. With a diverse menu, experienced leadership, and a strategic location, the franchise is positioned to become a notable addition to Ventura's restaurant landscape while contributing to the area's economic growth and employment opportunities.
