Yummy Slice Pizza has been open in Renfrew-Collingwood for one year now, as of June 1, 2022. They have seven locations across Vancouver and Richmond that were previously named Fresh Slice, but they rebranded all these locations overnight.

This joint is available on UberEats, SkipTheDishes and DoorDash, and they also have their own delivery vehicle. I would highly recommend picking up or calling the store directly for delivery to ensure that all proceeds go to directly our local Yummy Slice Pizza. 

I had the opportunity to try their delicious pizza last month when they invited me to promote their one-year anniversary deal. As a celebration, all their locations offered any eight extra-large slices for only $11.99.

It was the perfect occasion for me to try new pizza flavours since I am the type to always get the Hawaiian (I still ordered a few slices of their Hawaiian and it was definitely my favourite).

The Hawaiian is sure to be a favourite.

Though their celebration is over, I would support this local business by grabbing a quick bite while satisfying all our pizza cravings. With so many businesses popping up in RC, it’s the perfect place to grab an inexpensive team lunch.

Other than Hawaiian pizza, I also enjoyed the Pesto Chicken and Yummy Meat pizzas. My foodie adventures have led me to enjoying pesto in all my dishes, which I previously never ordered.

The next time I have a family gathering, I will definitely order from Yummy Slice so we can all try a variety of new pizza flavours! From my experience, it’s always fun to do a blind taste test – just make sure no one has allergies before doing this.
