Tech Startup Slice Helps Local Pizzerias Get Online

There is a whole generation of Albanians that moved in Italy (after the 90s), learned the trade there and eventually moved in NYC and opened their places.

Fun fact number 2: A lot of greek places in NYC are actually operated by albanians. (for the same reasons as above).

The main reason is marketing: People in the US know italian and greek food very well, but they are not familiar with Albanian food (which is just as good), so it is much easier for Albanians to market/open a italian/greek restaurant.

I’ve always joked that Domino’s is the original food delivery “tech” company. Reading this article confirms it, as well as watching the Netflix Ugly Delicious “Pizza” episode where they show how as much of the Dominos’ process is automated.

Sounds like a feedback loop. They ought to slowly introduce "Albanian" options to their Italian and Greek menus.

Dominos put more money into their ordering system bells and whistles than the actual food, if you can call it food. I couldn't even finish a slice it was so bad.
