Mikey’s Late Night Slice plans Grandview Avenue shop in former Homefield space beside Grandview Café
A familiar pizza brand targets a well-known Grandview address
Mikey’s Late Night Slice is preparing to open a new location in Grandview at 1312 Grandview Ave., immediately next to Grandview Café at 1455 W. Third Ave. The move places the Columbus-based slice shop in a corridor built around late-night dining and bar traffic, and it follows a period of rapid expansion for the brand across Central Ohio.
The targeted storefront has changed concepts in recent years. Most recently, it operated as Homefield, a sports bar and restaurant that opened in July 2024 at 1312 Grandview Ave. Before Homefield, the address previously housed Round II.
What the Grandview location would add to the neighborhood mix
Grandview Café is a long-running anchor in the area, operating at the corner of Third and Grandview avenues and maintaining late hours. A by-the-slice operation next door would add a fast-service option in a district where many customers arrive on foot and where demand tends to spike late in the evening.
Mikey’s Late Night Slice is known locally for New York-style pizza sold by the slice and for operating in nightlife-heavy areas. The company has also used partnerships to grow in higher-traffic entertainment venues, including a collaboration that brought Mikey’s service to Pins Mechanical Co. locations in Central Ohio in 2024.
Expansion backdrop: multiple new shops and suburban growth
The Grandview plan comes amid broader growth. In 2024, Mikey’s added new points of service in the region, including an on-campus presence near Ohio State University. The brand has also publicized new full-service locations tied to suburban and out-of-market development: a Polaris-area site expected in early 2026 and a Dayton location expected to open in late 2025.
Why “high-turnover” locations can be difficult—and why brands still pursue them
Restaurant spaces with frequent turnover can pose practical challenges, including the cost of redesigning interiors, retrofitting kitchens, and establishing a consistent customer base after prior concepts have come and gone. At the same time, such spaces are often located in proven commercial nodes with established foot traffic, which can be attractive to operators with strong brand recognition and the ability to open quickly.
What remains unknown
An opening date has not been confirmed publicly.
Build-out details—such as seating, hours, and alcohol service—have not been formally announced.
It is not yet clear how the shop will be positioned relative to nearby late-night options and existing neighborhood restaurants.
For Grandview, the development signals another attempt to stabilize a prominent storefront while reinforcing the district’s role as a late-night destination.
