If you have been on the hunt for some of the best pizza in Salt Lake City, you’ve likely heard of The Pie Pizzeria. As a long-time icon in Salt Lake City, this restaurant has become one of the best pizza joints in Utah. Serving salads, pizza, wings, pasta, and so much more, you’ll want to order one of everything when you visit. It is one restaurant that every Utahn needs to try at least once.
The Pie Pizzeria opened its doors in 1980 just steps away from the University of Utah campus and below the University Pharmacy. Today, you can still visit this iconic location, which locals call “The Pie.”
However, since 1980, five additional restaurants have opened throughout Ogden and the Salt Lake Valley and each one is equally delicious.
The Pie is 100 percent family-owned and operated and when you visit, particularly the location near the university, you’ll love the fun, laid-back, and casual atmosphere. This is a popular college hangout but it is also perfect for families — it’s a location that individuals of all ages will enjoy.
Of course, when visiting this pizza joint, you’ll want to try the pizza. The crust on the pizza is deep, deep dish — perfect for bread lovers. Plus, there is just the right amount of sauce, cheese, and toppings that will make you constantly crave this pizza pie.
While you can always customize your pizza, we recommend trying one of the specialty pies on the menu. You’ll find several unique creations like a bacon-berry pie, stromboli pizza, Thai pie, and Greek pizza, which features a white cucumber yogurt sauce, gyro meat, and more.
And if you aren't in the mood for a pizza, don't worry — there's plenty to choose from. Order a salad, pasta, wings, or even the calzone because no matter what you choose, you won’t be disappointed.
And if you have a sweet tooth, try one of the desserts on the menu. Ranging from sweet cinnamon breadsticks to ice cream sundaes, you'll easily find the perfect treat.
After visiting The Pie at any of its locations in Utah, you’ll quickly realize why this has become such a popular place to eat for so many years. When eating here, you won’t want to leave a single crumb on your plate.
