Score
The health department has logged 18 inspections at Slice Factory, the earliest from 2015. The most recent visit was on Apr 23, 2024. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical. The most recent inspection at Slice Factory is from Apr 23, 2024, and nothing newer appears in the public record.
The trend has been favorable: violation counts have eased from around six violations to closer to four violations per visit over the last few inspections.
The most common issue across all inspections has been “physical facilities installed, maintained & clean”, showing up 15 times.
The city-wide average sits at 81, which Slice Factory's 74 doesn't quite reach. Taken together, the history looks like that of a busy facility working through the usual inspection cycle.
