FORT WORTH<\/p>\n

Everybody has a favorite old-time neighborhood pizza stand or cafe. And everybody is convinced theirs is the best.<\/p>\n

More than 100 traditional street pizza stands or pizza-and-pasta cafes dot the map across Tarrant County. Most are family shops owned by Albanian-Americans<\/a> and their descendants.<\/p>\n

In much of Fort Worth, the favorite is Slice City Pizza<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Owner \u201cTony\u201d Kudret<\/a> is from a founding Texas pizza-and-pasta family, and his two stands in north and southwest Fort Worth are good examples of the \u201cNew York pizza\u201d style.<\/p>\n

The original Slice City was dearly missed when it closed on Hulen Street. That location finally reopened 7 miles south at 7445 Oakmont Blvd., just off the Chisholm Trail Parkway next to a Starbucks Coffee in the Cityview hospital district.<\/p>\n

A second location is in north Fort Worth at 2700 Western Center Blvd., near Fred\u2019s Texas Cafe.<\/p>\n

A visit to the Oakmont location this week showed why loyal fans love Slice City.<\/p>\n

Look, Fort Worth has a lot of great new pizza shops. Ozzy\u2019s is not far away. Mister01 in the Left Bank shops is Michelin Guide-honored from Miami. Olivella\u2019s consistently leads \u201cbest pizza\u201d rankings. Mama\u2019s is the old favorite. And that\u2019s not to mention the countless bars.<\/p>\n

But Slice City is simply classic old-school pizza.<\/p>\n

\"Margherita Margherita pizza and a \u201cmeat lover\u2019s\u201d pizza by the slice costs about $10 for both at Slice City Pizza in Fort Worth, Texas, as seen Oct. 6, 2026. Bud Kennedy bud@star-telegram.com <\/p>\n

The crust is lighter than at most pizza-and-pasta shops. It tastes like buttery dough, not something as hard as the box.<\/p>\n

The sauce has a zing. The toppings are plentiful.<\/p>\n

And the price is right: about $10-$11 for two large slices or one slice with a salad and drink, or $14 up to about $27 for a 14-to-18-inch pie, or $38.50 and up for a \u201cdouble extra large.\u201d<\/p>\n

On a visit this week, the Margherita pizza had more flavor than most. The \u201cmeat lover\u2019s\u201d pizza was completely covered with pepperoni, sausage, ham and hamburger.<\/p>\n

The 18 choices include a \u201cGrecian\u201d pizza with olives and feta, or several \u201cwhite\u201d pizzas with Alfredo sauce or ricotta.<\/p>\n

The choice of 27 toppings includes the usual items plus specialities such as artichokes, Kalamata olives, banana peppers or hot honey.<\/p>\n

The menu also offers the ubiquitous garlic knots with marinara. And yes, Slice City also has a gluten-free crust. Salads include the usual tossed, a Greek or a Caesar.<\/p>\n

Unlike many similar restaurants, Slice City doesn\u2019t serve pasta. It does, however, offer a Black Forest cheesecake or tiramisu.<\/p>\n

Both locations are open for lunch and dinner daily; pizzanearbytx.com.<\/a><\/p>\n
