In this episode, David and Steve chat with Ilir Sela, the visionary Founder and CEO of Slice, a platform that empowers over 20,000 independent pizzerias and generates nearly $2 billion in sales.

Ilir shares his incredible journey—from growing up in a small town in Macedonia to moving to New York City and embracing the entrepreneurial spirit that built his career. He talks about his early ventures, the lessons he learned bootstrapping a business, and how Slice is bridging the digital gap for small pizzerias, ensuring they thrive in an online world.

We also dive into:

  • The evolution from MyPizza to Slice
  • The power of bootstrapping and how it shaped his leadership
  • How COVID-19 accelerated growth and helped small businesses survive
  • The importance of trust, culture, and doing the right thing

And of course, we had to ask—what’s his go-to pizza spot in NYC?
If you're passionate about entrepreneurship, small business success, and a great slice of pizza, this episode is for you.
