Melrose Brings Back Slice Of The City Pizza Socials

MELROSE — Melrose's mayor and city officials are relaunching the "Slice of the City" pizza socials, informal neighborhood get-togethers designed to connect residents with their local government, according to the town's News Flash announcement issued Thursday.

TOWN HALL City officials confirmed the return of Slice of the City, a series of casual pizza socials held around Melrose neighborhoods that let residents talk directly with the mayor and city staff outside of a formal meeting setting. The city framed the events as a way to bring town government into neighborhoods rather than requiring residents to come to City Hall.
