“Sliced” showed up so many times in my ‘graphic novel’ search query on the Kindle library that I finally decided to read it. I’m glad I gave this book a shot because it turned out to be an engaging read, despite the first few pages throwing me off with their weird palette, which included some soft violet/mauve shades mixed with peachy and yellow tones. The colors seemed bizarre, considering the opening scene was about two men from the mafia striking some sort of shady deal. And even otherwise, I didn’t like the color scheme, but thankfully, except for the first few pages, the rest of “Sliced” looked a lot more visually engaging, even though the coloring is too loud in some sections.
The plot follows two rival pizza chefs, the cheery Silvio Zampini, & the bitter Pietro Pizzutti,
who are forced to unite to save their family businesses from a mafia-backed, sinister pizzeria serving super cheap addictive pizzas. At its heart, “Sliced” is all about small businesses, food, and the very real struggles that authentic traditional restaurants face against cheap, quick, and unhealthy fast-food chains. There’s a running gag in the novel about how the mob boss loves his pet dog more than his own “good-for-nothing” son, and this humorous element proves to be a lasting and entertaining ingredient in the story.
“Sliced” has the usual ‘David versus Goliath’ theme, the pizza chefs of course have a hard time fighting the mafia, but they also learn a lesson or two about the importance of family, friendship, and unity along the way. Overall, I thought this was a pretty fun graphic novel.

Troppi stereotipi ma i disegni sono validi e la storia è facilmente seguibile anche in inglese
