Soon at the Mall of America, shoppers who work up an appetite can reach for a quick slice of hand-tossed happiness when Slice Brother's Pizza opens up shop.
In a statement Friday, MOA announced the Minneapolis-based pizzeria will set up its new location at the Level 3 food court this fall.
"We are proud to welcome another locally owned brand to Mall of America,” said Ashley Hofmann, senior leasing manager at Mall of America. “Slice Brother’s Pizza is not only some of the best pizza in the Twin Cities area, but they are also an amazing company with an incredible story. We can’t wait for our guests to enjoy this one-of-a-kind pizza.”
The first Slice location was opened in northeast Minneapolis in 2020 by friends Adam Kado and Hosie Thurmond. The pair said they wanted to bring New York-style pizza to the Twin Cities, and in doing so, also became the first Black-owned pizza place in the city.
Since opening their flagship store three years ago, Kado and Thurmond have added a second location at the Midtown Global Market in south Minneapolis and are scheduled to open a third location in St. Paul by the end of July.
