Slice & Ice

Slice & Ice

Slice & Ice opened a second location at 6810 E. Tanque Verde Rd. in the former eegee’s space, bringing the nostalgia of Italian ices and classic snacks back to east Tucson. The shop is led by Ed Irving, co-founder of the original eegee’s, who also owns the building and founded Slice & Ice in 2020 on the west side. The menu blends familiar Italian ice flavors with fast-fired pizza, sandwiches, fries and value snack boxes. The new location fills a longtime local spot and revives a piece of Tucson dining history after eegee’s closure and bankruptcy.
