Founder / Owner
Jen is the creative inspiration behind Home Slice and the de facto Queen of Pies; the point person for all things food. Even after 13+ years in the restaurant business spent eating things that previously scared her and gaining a new sophistication about food culture, she’s still inspired by the dishes she grew up cooking and eating with her Italian-American family in upstate New York. Creating an experience that features delicious, unpretentious food; hand made with quality, authentic, ingredients, and love continues to be her main ambition, as is sharing genuine hospitality with everyone who walks through the Home Slice doors. Usually happy to make the dinner and start the conversation, Jen is driven by the other things we bring to the table with us: humor, drama, music, art, compassion, connection. She is thrilled to serve many walks of Austin life and to get to work with the Home Slice team every day.
