SLC Pizza?
09May08
While we were in Chicago we had some of the best pizza I have had in a long time, and it got me thinking. Who’s got the best pizza in Salt Lake city? I used to live a couple blocks from Este pizza, but it burnt down before I could check it out. Rumor on the block is that they have opened again, and have a new one downtown. I would love to hear feedback if it really is as tasty as it sounds. In looking for some pizza to rival that of Gino’s, last night I stumbled across Sweet Home Chicago Pizza in Draper, which sounds promising. Some other favorites are the Pie Pizzaria and Rusted Sun. Any other favorites. I
Were going to get started on painting this weekend, so some good pizza may be in order.

i’ve eaten at estes pre- and post-fire. it’s really good pizza if you’re looking for a nice vegan pie, but the regular pizzas are just kinda normal good. the best pizza in slc is hands-down at settebello - 200w btwn 200s and 300s, next to red rock. their oven and many of their ingredients are imported from italy, and the pizza is made to the naples standard of pizza making. their pizzas are among the best food i’ve ever eaten. for new york style, big apple pizza takes first prize for me. i’ve only been to the location on 3300s and something like 3000e - next to guitar czar, but i think there’s on in fort union or somewhere around there, too. their pizza is awesome. finally, i’d say big daddy’s, formerly but aways in my mind pudge brothers, is the best fast-food style pizza downtown. oh, and there’s a new place on main. i think it may be called bulldog pizza or something to that effect. they’re on my list to try.
I’ve been on the very same quest for a while now. The Pie is up there on my list. I just want to say that the best pizza I’ve ever had has got to be Mackenzie River Pizza… not to be found in Utah. They’re strictly a Montana chain but if you get a chance it’s almost worth the drive.

Sweet Home Chicago pizza in Draper is good! We’ve been there a few times. They slice the pizza into small squares instead of the boring slices. We also really like Rusted Sun on State St. Man, I’m so hungry right now!
Uhh… Este totally wails on Big Apple (even when Big Apple isn’t burnt). Settebello is probably the tastiest though but its way too fancy for house painting. The Pie still holds a special place in my heart but it feels a bit like a gut bomb when I eat it these days.
I like pizza.
I love Este. I have been eating there pre and post fire. The pizza is great and beat any pizza I ever had in NYC. I was actually quite disappointed with NYC pizza.
If you have never been on Yelp.com you may want to check it out. You can pick up some pretty good information and reviews on resto’s, or any other business, from the regular joes who eat there. Check it out.

I love the pizza (and everything else) at Stoneground. Every Sunday they remove the menus and just bring different types of pizzas around to each table and you can eat as much as you’d like.
Stoneground is also one of the most beautiful modern restaurants downtown. Great color tones and concrete work. It’s right across from the library, and I highly suggest everyone check it out.
I think The Pie is great. Tried Settebello and I didnt understand the hype? It was really expensive for a burnt wafer with no toppings. I guess we all have our favorites.
Settebello fo sho! I don’t know what Jared #7 had, but everything I’ve eaten there is amazing if you like Italian style pizza. The Pie is great for a big heavy piece of comfort food at it’s finest.
mmmmm, I’m getting hungary already. Sounds like settebello is too fancy for painting but we may have to have a Este big apple shoot out!
I tried out this place called Dominos over on 7th East. Talk about a piece of Italy!!
Settebello is hands down the best pizza I have had in the United States. I have had lots of pizza in New York and it is its own style, and for that style Este is really good, but I lived in Naples for 7 months and ate LOTs of pizza there. It’s where pizza was born and where it is its most perfect. The first time I had a pizza at Settebello I felt transported back to Italy. It’s supposed to be thin, and there aren’t supposed to be many toppings on it in order to have a true margherita pizza. If you feel like you want some good toppings though, get the Pizza Lasagna or the Ripieno, which is a calzone and is very authentic. All the ingredients are top notch. I’m not affiliated with them, but this probably sounds like an ad. It’s just the best pizza to be had for many many miles around.
It’s best when it is fresh from the oven, so it never quite tastes the same when you bring it home. We had some for a pizza party and something from Este would have probably been better for that purpose.
our favorite place is secilia pizza right by broadway theater in downtown slc. they have a beat the clock special mondays and tuesdays from 6-8pm i believe (get yer pizza for the price of your call time. call at 7:25pm, cost = $7.25) white sauce is so good. everything is so good- and owner is really cool.
their number: 801-961-7077
Ginos!
Ug.
You don’t deserve a good New York Style Pizza!
If it’s New York City Pizza, compare it with John’s Pizza.
I’ve given up finding good pizza in SLC after moving from the village in 99.
well, well, a tried and true discussion of pizza, right here in salt lake city. I thought it was difficult to get pizza let alone intelligent conversation here. To let you all know, how the pizza really works in salt lake. First of all NY pizza. True NY pizza is different than what Johns and lombardi’s serves. That is napoletana style pizza, a derivitive of italian pizza, ala settebello. Ny style is the large flat foldable stuff, ala este and little italy. To rank… Este is for sure number one. A distant second would have been little italy, but I hear they closed their doors. Third, nevoles. Fourth, well, who gives a shit, the rest is just crap. On to settebello. Settebello is good, but I must say, compared to the pizza i have had in italy and lombardis, johns, grimaldis, it just doesnt compare. And they don’t use mozzarella d’ buffala, they use grande. Grande cheese is great, the gold standard for NY style, but their fresh mozz, isn’t authentic. I know, silly semantics, but truth. I still eat there often for that style, and at este for NY style. Oh, and the pie, and bid daddys, and all that other stuff, isn’t worth its weight in feces.
