We've been enjoying eating at Home Slice Pizza since it opened many months ago. Apparently so have a lot of other people because every time we go the place is hopping. We almost always go for a slice of cheese and a side salad. Both seem to hit the spot just right. Recently, though, we ventured into the sandwich domain and got one of those fancy subs they offer. We ordered the Veggie, of...

Mike Booher looks like a rock star until he smiles. Tall and lanky, shaggy black hair, smoking a cigarette outside his practice room, he is a throwback to the Ramones. Then he grins, waves, and he’s the friendly guy everyone loves. Who just happens to be the front man for Austin’s much-hyped Zykos.

Yes, it’s true: Home Slice Pizza is finally open! After much preparation, Home Slice Pizza opened its doors last Thursday.
