GRANITE BAY, CA (MPG) - Slice House by Tony Gemignani, the highly successful crafted fast-casual pizza franchise by world renowned pizzaiolo Tony Gemignani, is proud to announce the March 2026 opening of its newest Northern California location in Granite Bay. 

Located at 4060 Douglas Blvd., Suite 101, in the Sierra Oaks Plaza Center, the pizzeria will bring Gemignani’s award-winning pizza styles to the greater Sacramento community in a vibrant, welcoming setting. The new restaurant is currently hiring across all positions and is expected to bring 15 full-time and 25 part-time jobs to the local community. 

“We’re excited to continue our expansion in the greater Sacramento area with our newest opening in Granite Bay,” said Founder Tony Gemignani. “It’s always special to grow our Northern California presence, and we’re excited to share our menu alongside our experienced partners, Sandeep and Harjot Gill, who share our dedication to craftsmanship, quality, and delivering world-class pizza to every guest.”

Franchised and operated by Sandeep and Harjot Gill, longtime Slice House partners with a location in Folsom, Slice House Granite Bay will feature an expansive menu of Gemignani’s acclaimed New York, Sicilian, Grandma and Detroit-style pizzas, available by the slice or whole pizza. 

The menu will also include fresh pastas, wings, salads and options for gluten-free, vegan and vegetarian diners. The drink menu will include craft beers and premium wines, in addition to non-alcoholic sodas and juices. The new pizza spot will have indoor seating for 55 people, outdoor patio seating for 12 people and will offer takeout, online ordering, and delivery. It will be open seven days a week – from 11 a.m. until 9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 11 a.m. until 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. 

“It’s an honor to open another Slice House location with Tony, and Granite Bay is an ideal artisan pizza spot,” said Sandeep Gill. “After seeing the response at our Folsom restaurant, I know firsthand how much the brand resonates with locals and the greater Sacramento area. We’re thrilled to bring Slice House to the community soon and create a welcoming spot where neighbors can gather, enjoy award-winning pizza, and make it part of their weekly routines.”

Slice House Granite Bay will open in the Sierra Oaks Plaza Center, a premier shopping destination known for its mix of popular retailers, specialty shops, and dining options, ample parking and beautifully landscaped exterior. Nearby businesses include Crunch Fitness, Habit Burger & Grill, Chick-fil-A, Nugget Market, Safeway, HomeGoods, Starbucks, Awesome Nails Spa and Johnson Ranch Sports Club, among others. Conveniently situated near residential communities, schools, and medical offices, the restaurant is poised to become a go-to dining destination for residents throughout Granite Bay and the greater Sacramento region.
