Slice House Taking Over Former Lou Malnati’s Space at Pecos & Val Vista

A major pizza upgrade is coming to south Gilbert — Slice House is officially moving into the former Lou Malnati’s location on the northwest corner of Pecos and Val Vista. This highly anticipated arrival will bring a new level of chef-driven pizza to one of Gilbert’s busiest and fastest-growing corridors.

A Big Move Into a High-Profile Space

The former Lou Malnati’s suite has been one of the most visible restaurant spaces in the area. With its prime corner positioning, strong neighborhood traffic, and direct access from both Pecos and Val Vista, the location is ideal for a concept with the following reputation:

• Award-winning pizza

• High-quality ingredients

• Fast-casual convenience

• A strong national following

Slice House stepping into this space signals that Gilbert is becoming a destination for higher-end, specialty slices — not just standard chain pizza.
