Slice Cut From Brookhaven Dining Options

Slice of Brookhaven has closed 

Slice of Brookhaven, originally Pizza Rock and later Pizza Shack, closed last Friday after about three years in business.  The restaurant was located in a freestanding building on Caldwell Road just off Dresden Drive, behind Savi Provisions.   

The restaurant announced their closure this past Friday evening with the following message on their Facebook page:  

"First and foremost, thank you for your support of Slice of Brookhaven over the last 3 years. It's time for a new operator and a new concept. The Dresden pizza options have become quite plentiful, and the new operator will certainly bring another option that is not currently offered in the neighborhood. Again, thank you for your support, and we are excited about the new restaurant option. Sincerely, Slice of Brookhaven Owners and Operators"

Strangely, this was the first message the restaurant posted to their Facebook page since they promoted "Jucao UFC Fight Night at Slice of Brookhaven" on September 9th. 

Vero Pizzeria, which opened nearly a year ago on Dresden Drive, a stone's throw from Slice, surely did not impact the existing pizza restaurant in a positive way.  Vero, from established restaurant veteran Michael Arnette, benefits from being the sibling concept of neighboring restaurants, Valenza and Haven.  

A sign posted on Slice's front door claims a "Great New Restaurant Opening Q1 2017."  Representatives from both Kaleidoscope Pub and Haven both indicate that their respective groups are not involved in whatever is replacing Slice.   

Brookhaven resident and restaurateur  Scott Serpas has been trying to open a restaurant in Brookhaven for years and had reportedly shown interest in assuming the lease on the Slice space.  Serpas is planning to open a new restaurant in the Dresden Village development and it is believed that if he were to take on the Slice space, it would only be temporary.  

Are you surprised to see Slice of Brookhaven close?  What kind of restaurant would you like to see open in place of Slice?  Would you like to see Scott Serpas open a temporary restaurant in place of Slice?
