Thank you for choosing SLYCE, where pizza is our passion. We have preserved the art of making hand crafted artisanal coal fired pizzas. Our mission is simple: Have a simple menu that allows us to focus special attention to every ingredient that comes into our building. We choose and use the best quality ingredients possible. We do not believe in premade, mass produced food. We source locally grown or raised products whenever possible and use one of the cleanest natural burning resources to heat our ovens. At SLYCE less is more, as our fresh ingredients are delicately placed, not piled on, to create a perfectly balanced pie. Our dough is made in house daily, hand stretched to order, and baked next to a burning pile of coal giving it a thin, bubbly crust with charred edges and leopard spotting on the bottom. So sit back and relax, as we hand craft you one of your favorite, perfectly charred pies.

Chef and owner Joel Gilbert decided after years of searching for the perfect location that he was going to begin his journey with his first brick and mortar restaurant on the most Northern Point of Forest Lake, in Lake Zurich Illinois. After years of working and running restaurant establishments and working with his company Butter & biscuit Co. at local farmers markets, Joel has established great friendships and partnerships with some of the best local farmers. Joel took this opportunity to use the best seasonal products for his Italian inspired cuisine. Come enjoy the beautiful sunsets on our outdoor patio overlooking Forest Lake, or enjoy a table in our panoramic indoor patio, year round.

Wine prices by the glass are outrageous! Minimum $10.50 a glass. With 11% tax then top and you’re paying $15 for an ordinary red. NO WAY. Food is very good though.

Region never disappoints. A restaurant’s vibe is the most important thing to me, then food and then service, but Region hits it home on all. The atmosphere is cozy and elegant and fun at the same time. Starting with cocktails, the martini and old fashioned were perfect. Soups (baked French onion and corn chowder) were delicious and the sea bass I had as my main was, honestly, one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. Our server, Joanna or Johanna, was knowledgeable, helpful and delightful. These are the reasons Region is at the top of our list!
