NY Slice Pizza Brings New York Flavour to Parkhurst with Big Slices and Big Energy

If there’s one thing New Yorkers know how to do, it’s pizza. And now, Joburgers don’t need a plane ticket to get their fix. Cape Town’s cult-favourite NY Slice Pizza has officially landed in Parkhurst, bringing oversized slices, neon lights, and all the cheesy goodness you can handle.
From Cape Town Cool to Parkhurst Streets
For years, NY Slice Pizza has been serving up authentic New York–style pies to hungry Capetonians who swear by its foldable, super-sized slices. This September, Joburgers finally get a taste of the hype. The new Parkhurst corner spot is more than just a restaurant it’s a hangout with a retro diner feel, casual mood, and even a kids’ corner to keep little hands busy while you tuck in.
What’s Cooking on the Menu
The food philosophy here is simple: keep it classic, keep it big. The menu features 11 topping options with two sizes a generous 30cm or a massive 50cm. Local favourites include the NY pepperoni, BBQ chicken, and the always-controversial Hawaiian. For the adventurous, there’s also the option to build your own.
On social media, fans are already buzzing. One Cape Town regular posted, “Joburg, you’re not ready for this. These slices are a lifestyle, not just food.”
Launch Night: Pizza, Parties and DJs
The official launch kicks off on Friday, 5 September, and it’s more street party than soft opening. Guests can expect bubbly, tasters, pizza-eating competitions, and a DJ takeover from none other than Kyle Cassim. To top it off, the night doubles as the launch of Daily Perks Coffee, so caffeine lovers are in for a treat.
Entry is free but spots are limited you’ll need to RSVP online to lock in your invite.
