The former site of Sly Fox Brewing’s South Side pub won’t sit vacant for long.
Burghers Brewing Co. announced in a Facebook post on Monday it will partner with Murrysville pizzeria A Slice of New York to launch a new venture and expansion, saying it will create a “culinary corridor” in Pittsburgh’s South Side.
Burghers will relocate to the vacant space at 46 S. Fourth St. in The Highline development and launch a “burger-inspired pizza concept.” Called Burghers Pizza, the concept will “reinterpret” the brewery’s well-known smashburgers as “full pie expressions” served on fermented dough with premium toppings. The new brewery will also serve Burghers’ signature smashburgers and feature an expanded footprint with a larger kitchen and brewing space. The chain also operates locations in Lawrenceville, Millvale and Zelienople.
“This expansion allows us to grow without compromising who we are,” Burghers founder Fiore Moletz said in the post. “It gives us room to brew more, build more and create more.”
A Slice of New York will open in the former Burghers Tiny Pub at 319 E. Carson St., branded as A Slice of New York Squared, a nod to its focus on square pies also made with slow-fermented dough. Guests can pair their pies with beers by Burghers brewmaster Neil Glausier for a “chef-driven” experience, according to the announcement.
Founded by Bronx native Sean Jefairjian, the pizzeria’s Murrysville shop received recognition after a 2024 visit by Dave Portnoy, founder of media company Barstool Sports and the popular “One Bite Pizza” YouTube channel, where it received top marks.
Grand opening and preview dates have not yet been announced.
A call to founder Fiore Moletz was not immediately returned.
