New bottomless pizza restaurant 'Slice Club' with no menu joins line-up of thriving Sheffield independents
A brand new bottomless pizza restaurant with no menu is opening in a thriving Sheffield neighbourhood
“Sheffield is home - where else will we get support like we will here?”
These are the words of the founders of a new Sheffield restaurant where switching on a table lamp is all it takes to get more pizza.
Slice Club, opening on Sharrow Vale on Friday, October 30, promises bottomless pizza for £17.50 a person, with no time limit on your sitting.
Founders David Stache, 46, from Walkley, and Kier Hodson, 30, from Burngreave, have spent almost two years developing the idea.
Replacing the former Mediterranean restaurant on Sharrow Vale, Slice Club takes inspiration from Brazilian rodizio-style dining, where food keeps coming to the table rather than customers ordering from a traditional menu.
Offerings include classics such as margherita, pepperoni, meat feast and veggie pizza, alongside house specialities like buffalo chicken, hot dog and teriyaki chicken options.
In a quirky twist, there is also a daily wildcard pizza, designed by Kier and his team. Past creations include bacon double cheeseburger pizza, banoffee pie, strawberry laces with a jam base, kimchi carbonara and apple crumble.
There is no menu to order from. Instead, diners simply switch on their lamp when they want more pizza and turn it off when they've had enough or need a break.
Kier said: “Before you've even ordered your drinks, there will be a slice of pizza at your table.”
The pair said they want the experience to be about more than just eating as much pizza as possible - with an emphasis on friendly service and spending time with loved ones.
“We're very intent on it being a business where we serve the customer and have a great experience,” said David.
“Nothing is expected from us. Come here to have a good time with friends and family - it's our job to make that as frictionless as possible.”
The pair said they wanted to push back against the growing corporatisation of hospitality by offering personal service worth customers’ hard-earned cash.
For David and Kier, choosing Sharrow Vale was just as important as the concept itself.
David said: “Sheffield is home. I'm biased, but where else will we get support like we will here?
“Sheffield is brilliant at rallying around a new business. They're brilliant at rallying around people who will have a go at it, especially their own.”
He described Sharrow Vale as a hub for independent businesses and praised the support they had already received from neighbours - even offering space in their own fridges when the pair faced electricity outages.
David said: “You just know you're in the right place.
“The fact there are so many thriving independents here that are so supportive, and that so many people come here – it's really busy on a weekend, good atmosphere. Why would we go anywhere else?”
He added: “There's something special here. There's a buzz, a wave, a sense of community.
“And if we can't make it work here, we won't make it work anywhere else. This is a good test for us.”
The pair hope the restaurant will offer something fresh for the area, with diners encouraged to arrive with an open mind and try combinations they might not normally choose.
David said: “There's no menu for a reason. Try things you wouldn't normally try – you're only committed to a bite.”
