Slice, which describes itself as a digital platform connecting consumers with authentic local pizzerias, has launched its new mobile ordering app on iOS.

Slice is designed to build rewarding relationships between independent pizzerias and pizza lovers who want the convenience of mobile ordering and payment, according to a press release.

"Growing up I was surrounded by proud pizzeria owners, which gave me an inside look at the industry from day one. I wanted to leverage my experience to create a bridge between pizza shop owners and their loyal customers using mobile technology," said Ilir Sela, CEO of Slice, in the release. "We've attracted top talent like investors and executives from Seamless, Plated and SinglePlatform, including Slice's President Pete Chen, former GM of SinglePlatform. Together we're focused on fulfilling our mission of enabling any pizza lover in the country to get authentic neighborhood pie through a free app. We already have more locations than Domino's and we're just getting started."

Slice users can use the app to find a local pizzeria, place an order, and check out with a stored payment method or Apple Pay.
