Slice Slice Baby to open in downtown Canton at StarkFresh

StarkFresh has turned over its kitchen in downtown Canton to a 1990s-themed pizza shop called Slice Slice Baby.

The shop is the first food business to completely take over the kitchen at the StarkFresh grocery store at 321 Cherry Ave. NE. Other food operations, such as Poppys Tacos, have operated there as ghost kitchens over the past few years.

The pizza place will have an active storefront, and customers also can place orders at the grocery store's register.

“We realized that there were no good pizza options during lunchtime throughout the week in downtown Canton,” said Alexis Phillips, Slice Slice Baby’s co-creator.

The pizza place opens May 3, and will operate from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Fridays. Customers can choose from seven pizzas, ordered with either a red or white sauce. The pizza types are cheese, pepperoni, meat, spicy, veggie, salad, and cinnamon sugar. All pizzas are made to order and will be delivered in-store. Cheese and pepperoni pizza sticks will also be available for purchase.

Since 2019, StarkFresh’s Food Incubation Center, operating out of its Food Justice Campus, has been offering creative ways to reduce barriers for individuals starting food-based businesses.

“The kitchen takeover program has been something we’ve been developing for nearly a year,” said Tom Phillips, executive director at StarkFresh. “We heard the struggles our kitchen users were having to be able to affordably operate a storefront and figured out a way to solve that issue utilizing our grocery store.”
