The Pizza Party Origin Story

The Story of
Columbus' Original
Late Night Slice

From a parking lot pizza shack to the city’s most legendary late night pizza party.

Where It All Started

A parking lot.
A pizza shack.
A very good bad idea.

Late Night Slice started the same way most great ideas do: somebody was hungry after the bars closed.

In 2008, Mike “Mikey” Sorboro launched ECT Pedicab in Columbus’ Short North. While working the late night scene, one thing became painfully obvious — the after-hours food options sucked. Too much street meat. Not enough pizza.

So in 2009, Mikey did something about it. He started slinging slices out of a tiny pizza shack in the parking lot next to his apartment. A small setup, a big attitude, and pizza built for the night crowd.

That little shack turned into Late Night Slice — Columbus’ original street pizza — and eventually grew into multiple locations, food trucks, and one of the most talked-about pizza brands in Ohio.

We built our name on New York-style inspired pizza by the slice, late night energy, and a menu that knows how to have some damn fun — from Pizza of the Week insanity to breadsticks, cheese bread, and on-brand sweets that round out one hell of a pizza lineup.

Why We’re Different

We don’t do boring pizza.

There’s pizza, and then there’s Late Night Slice.

Lunch brings families, office people, and anyone smart enough to know a slice beats another sad desk lunch. Dinner brings friends, couples, happy hour stragglers, and groups looking to keep the night moving.

Then the real show starts. Bars close. The line forms. The city gets weird. That’s when Late Night Slice becomes exactly what it was built to be.

We do pizza by the slice. We do it fast. We do it late. And we do it with way more personality than your average sad-ass pizza shop.

The Late Night Slice Playbook
Open Late
We actually mean late night. Some locations stay rolling until the wee hours, because that’s when the pizza party really gets stupid.
Pizza With Personality
Classic slices, rotating Pizza of the Week chaos, and a menu that never acts like it went to business school.
An Experience, Not Just A Transaction
Nobody does the full Late Night Slice energy like we do. The vibe is the product too.
