Is SliceWorks Still Open? Mystery Diners Update (Denver, CO)

Mystery Diners' episode 'Vicious Cycle' (Season 7, Episode 8), which aired 2014-09-17, examined operational or staffing practices at SliceWorks, a pizza restaurant in downtown Denver, Colorado. Following the show's format, host Charles Stiles used hidden-camera footage to document the issue under investigation, then presented the recordings to the owner and discussed corrective steps for the business. According to Wikipedia's article on Mystery Diners, citing its sources, the program carries a disclaimer that certain depicted events may be re-enacted for dramatic purposes, and a television critic quoted in the article described the show's scenarios and resolutions as implausible and staged-seeming.

A site check on 2026-09-09 found that sliceworks.com remained active with a functioning online-ordering system and current navigation for catering, guest loyalty programs, gift cards, and franchising information, including promotional content about franchising the concept that suggests active business expansion. Google Places records the 17th Street address as an operational business. No 2026-dated copyright notice or year stamp was visible in the page text reviewed, but the combination of a live ordering system, current service menus, and an active franchising pitch on the business's own site indicates ongoing operations at the address. SliceWorks markets itself for catering to downtown offices near Union Station, according to its own website.
