Disclosure: Menuline publishes this guide and sells online ordering to pizzerias, so we compete with Slice and with everyone on this list. Slice does several things nobody else here does, and we say so below.

## What does Slice charge pizzerias in 2026?

Slice has renamed and repriced its plans. When we covered [Slice's fees](https://menuline.ai/blog/slice-fees-for-restaurants) earlier in October 2026, its top tier was a **$399-a-month** Family Membership. Per Slice's [pricing page](https://slice.com/pricing/) at the end of October 2026, the two plans are now:

| | Online Growth Plan | Complete Growth Plan |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Monthly | **$39/month** | **$99/month** |
| Per-order fee | **$3.00 per order** | **$2.00 per online or phone order** |
| Orders under $10 | No per-order fee | No per-order fee |
| Implementation | None listed | **$1,000** |
| Card processing | 2.90% + $0.30 | 2.90% + $0.30 |
| Adds | | Phone ordering, POS, kiosk option, dedicated account manager |
| Contract | Month-to-month | Month-to-month |

Both include a branded website, the Slice App listing, marketplace listings, loyalty, Google listing optimization, expert menu setup, AI menu enhancement and 24/7 support. Add-ons: an **Ordering Kiosk at $59/month** (Complete only), **Flex Delivery from $6.90 per order**, and Local Marketing at variable pricing.

## What does Slice cost at 300 orders a month?

![Monthly platform fees for a pizzeria doing 300 online orders at a $30 ticket, before card processing: Slice Online Growth $939, Slice Complete Growth $699, Menuline Growth $99](/blog/images/slice-alternatives/monthly-300-orders.png)

Take a pizzeria doing **300 online orders a month** at a **$30 average** ($9,000 in sales), every order above $10:

| | Slice Online Growth | Slice Complete Growth |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Membership | $39 | $99 |
| Per-order fees (300 orders) | $900 | $600 |
| **Platform fees** | **$939** | **$699** |
| Card processing (2.90% + $0.30) | $351 | $351 |
| **Monthly total** | **$1,290** | **$1,050** |
| One-time implementation | None | $1,000 |

The new pricing changes which plan wins. Complete costs **$60 a month more** and saves **$1 per order**, so it's cheaper above **60 orders a month**. Spread the $1,000 implementation fee over the first year and the break-even moves to about **144 orders a month** in year one. Remember that Complete charges $2.00 on phone orders taken through Slice too, so count those.

The per-order fee is the number to watch. On a $30 pie, Slice Online Growth costs **$4.17 (13.9%)** with processing, and Complete costs **$3.17 (10.6%)**. That's well below a 25% delivery-app commission. It's also a fee you pay again on every repeat order from a regular who would have ordered anyway.

## How do the alternatives compare at the same volume?

Same pizzeria, same 300 orders and $9,000:

| Platform | Platform fee | Processing | **Restaurant total** | Diner pays on a $30 order |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Slice Online Growth | $939 | $351 | **$1,290** | Fees shown at checkout |
| Slice Complete Growth | $699 | $351 | **$1,050** | Fees shown at checkout |
| Owner.com Flexible | $249 + $450 (5%) | Not listed | **$699+** | $1.50 (5%) |
| ChowNow Launch | $249 | $353 | **$602** | None on your site |
| Owner.com Flat Rate | $499 | Not listed | **$499+** | $1.50 (5%) |
| Square Online Plus | $49 | $351 | **$400** | None listed |
| DoorDash Online Ordering Starter | $0 | $387 | **$387** | Delivery fees |
| Uber Webshop | $0 | $312 | **$312** | Not listed |
| **Menuline Growth** | **$99** | Not listed | **$99+** | **$1.50 (5%)** |
| **Menuline Starter** | **$29** | Not listed | **$29+** | **$1.50 (5%)** |

*"Not listed" means the vendor's pricing page doesn't publish a separate processing rate; ask for it in writing. That includes us.*

Notice the diner column. Menuline and Owner.com both charge diners **5%** at checkout, so on those two the customer covers part of the cost. That's a real tradeoff, and you should weigh it against Slice's per-order fee to you.

## What are the best Slice alternatives for pizzerias?

### 1. Menuline: no per-order fee to the shop

[Menuline](https://menuline.ai/pricing) is **$29 a month (Starter)** for a restaurant website, commission-free pickup ordering, an online menu, loyalty rewards and Google listing tools. **Growth at $99** adds a branded iOS and Android app and AI email marketing. Both are **$1 a month for the first 3 months**, month-to-month, no setup fee, and a specialist builds your menu from photos or your Uber Eats or DoorDash link. Our [pizza shop page](https://menuline.ai/solutions/pizza-shops) shows what a pizzeria site looks like.

The honest caveats: diners pay a **5% platform fee**; ordering is **pickup only today**, with delivery by Uber drivers coming soon; marketing is email only; there's no pizza marketplace app sending new customers; and we don't sell a POS.

**Pick it if** most of your Slice orders are regulars and pickup, and you want those orders to stop costing $2 to $3 each.

### 2. DoorDash Online Ordering: $0 if you're on DoorDash

Formerly Storefront. Per DoorDash's merchant pages, the Starter package is **$0 a month** with **3.3% + $0.30** processing, Dashers handle delivery, and you need an active DoorDash store. Details in our [DoorDash Storefront review](https://menuline.ai/blog/doordash-storefront-review).

**Pick it if** you already list on DoorDash and want delivery without hiring drivers.

### 3. Square Online: for Square POS pizzerias

Per Square's [plans page](https://squareup.com/us/en/online-store/plans), Free is **$0** with 3.3% + 30¢ online processing; Plus (**$49**) and Premium (**$149**) drop it to 2.9% + 30¢. Orders flow straight into your Square POS and kitchen printer. See our [Square Online review](https://menuline.ai/blog/square-online-ordering-review).

**Pick it if** Square already runs your counter. It's the least moving parts.

### 4. Uber Webshop: lowest per-order rate if you're on Uber Eats

Uber's [pricing page](https://merchants.ubereats.com/us/en/pricing/) lists Webshop at **2.5% + $0.29** per order, commission-free, free with an Uber Eats marketplace account, with pickup and Uber courier delivery.

**Pick it if** you're on Uber Eats and want the cheapest direct link for regulars.

### 5. ChowNow: discovery channels and SMS

**$249 to $449 a month**, a **$119 to $499** setup fee and **2.95% + $0.29** per transaction, per its pricing page. You get a branded app, ChowNow's marketplace, SMS on Grow and above, and Flex Delivery couriers. ChowNow's support center says diners pay a **7.5%** fee only on its app and eat.chownow.com, not your own site. Full math in our [ChowNow pricing breakdown](https://menuline.ai/blog/chownow-pricing).

### 6. Owner.com: for high-volume shops

Per Owner.com's [pricing page](https://www.owner.com/pricing), Flexible is **$249 a month + 5%** per order and Flat Rate is **$499 a month**, month-to-month. Guests pay a **5% order support fee** on both, the same as Menuline's diner fee. Signup goes through a demo.

### 7. Menufy: flat fee with text marketing

**$149 a month** on a 12-month plan or **$179** month-to-month, per Menufy's [pricing page](https://restaurant.menufy.com/pricing). Its help center describes a per-order convenience fee that either you or the customer pays, so ask for the amount. More in our [Menufy pricing review](https://menuline.ai/blog/menufy-pricing).

## When is Slice still the right choice?

More often than a competitor's blog usually admits:

- **You want pizza-specific discovery.** The Slice App is a marketplace for pizza lovers. Nobody else on this list has that audience.
- **Your tickets are small.** No per-order fee on online orders under $10 is genuinely useful for by-the-slice and lunch-special shops.
- **You need a POS anyway.** At $99 a month, Complete Growth bundles POS, phone ordering and an account manager. For a shop replacing an old register, that's now a strong price.
- **You want month-to-month with delivery on tap.** Both plans are month-to-month, and Flex Delivery starts at $6.90 an order.

If the Slice App is finding you new customers, the per-order fee on those orders is a fair price for them.

## Should you leave Slice or run both?

Most pizzerias shouldn't choose. Keep Slice where it earns, and stop paying it for regulars:

1. **Split your Slice orders** into new customers and repeat customers.
2. **Price the repeat orders.** On Online Growth, 150 repeat orders a month cost **$450** in per-order fees alone.
3. **Put your own ordering link first** on Google, your website, Instagram and every pizza box.
4. **Before you cancel anything,** ask Slice what happens to Complete Growth hardware, whether any of the $1,000 implementation fee is refundable, and whether you can export your customer list.
5. **Check how findable your shop is.** The free [Menuline AI grader](https://menuline.ai/grader) scores your website, Google profile and ordering link in about a minute.

## The bottom line

Per its pricing page as of October 2026, Slice charges pizzerias **$39 a month + $3.00 per order** or **$99 a month + $2.00 per order** with a **$1,000** implementation fee, plus **2.90% + $0.30** processing, month-to-month. At 300 orders a month that's **$699 to $939** in platform fees. The best alternatives are **Menuline** ($29 or $99, no per-order fee to the shop, diners pay 5%), **DoorDash Online Ordering** and **Uber Webshop** if you're on those apps, **Square Online** for Square shops, and **ChowNow** or **Owner.com** for higher volume. Keep Slice for the pizza-app customers it actually finds you.

## FAQ

### What are the best Slice alternatives for pizzerias?

Menuline ($29 or $99 a month, no per-order fee to the pizzeria, diners pay 5%), DoorDash Online Ordering ($0 a month plus 3.3% + $0.30 per order, needs a DoorDash store), Square Online ($0 to $149 a month, best for Square POS shops), ChowNow ($249 to $449 a month plus 2.95% + $0.29) and Owner.com ($249 + 5% or $499 a month). Uber Webshop and Menufy round out the list.

### How much does Slice charge pizzerias in 2026?

Per Slice's pricing page as of October 2026, the Online Growth Plan is $39 a month plus $3.00 per order, and the Complete Growth Plan is $99 a month plus $2.00 per online or phone order with a $1,000 implementation fee. Neither charges a per-order fee on online orders under $10. Card processing is 2.90% + $0.30, and both plans are month-to-month.

### Is there a cheaper alternative to Slice for a pizzeria?

Yes, on platform fees. At 300 orders a month with a $30 average, Slice's Online Growth Plan costs $939 before processing. DoorDash Online Ordering and Square Online Free cost about $387 all-in, Uber Webshop about $312, and Menuline $29 or $99 a month with no per-order fee to the shop, though diners pay a 5% platform fee.

### Should I leave Slice completely?

Usually not. The Slice app brings pizza customers you may not reach elsewhere, so many shops keep the listing for discovery and move regulars to a commission-free ordering link on their website and Google profile, where the $2 or $3 per-order fee no longer applies.

### Which Slice plan is cheaper?

The Complete Growth Plan costs $60 a month more and saves $1 per order, so it's cheaper above 60 orders a month. Counting its $1,000 implementation fee spread over the first year, the break-even is about 144 orders a month in year one.
