Mikey's Late Night Slice to open new locations this summer next to Pins Mechanical Co.
Mikey's Late Night Slice is to take over former Weenie Wonder spots at Easton Town Center and Dublin's Bridge Park, a move described as a partnership with Pins Mechanical Co. locations that are to be next door.
Weenie Wonder, which closed in February after less than two years in business, was owned by Rise Brands, which also owns Pins and 16-Bit Bar + Arcade.
"Incorporating Mikey's into Pins is a no-brainer," Rise Brands founder and CEO Troy Allen said in a release from the two companies. The vibe at Mikey's "perfectly complements" Pins, he said.

The two new Mikey's locations are to be open seven days a week, from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. on weekdays and possibly for extended hours on weekends and during special events. They'll open sometime this summer.
Mikey's founder Mikey Sorboro said the new restaurants are to introduce his pizza to a bigger audience in central Ohio. Until now, Mikey's has stayed mostly within areas of Columbus' urban core: Downtown, the Short North and Olde Towne East.
Its lone restaurant outside Columbus is in Cincinnati's Short North-like Over-the-Rhine neighborhood.
"We can't wait to share our signature pizza with the Dublin and Easton communities," Sorboro said in the news release.
