One of the original founders of Eegees, Ed Irving, is back in the restaurant game this week with a brand-new spot, Slice & Ice on West Grant Road.
Irving bought out the equipment from a Pieology Pizzeria and is doing rapid-fire pizzas, sandwiches and Italian ice inside the old Mr. Baja Fish building at 1905 W. Grant Road.
Hes using many of his original recipes that have changed over the years as Eegees grew and expanded.
For example, the lime-flavored Italian ice is all-natural and tastes crisper and less sugary than your typical Eegees slush. For now its only doing lime, but other flavors like strawberry limeade are on the way, Irving said. (You can also get your ice as an icy tea or an icy fizz with soda.)
The signature crinkle fries can be done up with Ranch dressing. But Slice & Ice kicks it up a notch by also offering several other varieties of fancy fries, including garlic, nacho cheese and pizza fries.

Partners Ed Irving and Bob Greenberg began selling a frozen lemonade concoction from a truck in 1971, naming the treat for the E in Eds name and the G in Greenbergs. They sold the business in 2006.
Slice & Ice is located at 1905 W. Grant Road. Its open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily.
