You know that we love to find little hole-in-the-wall restaurants around the Beehive State. It’s always been our opinion that the places that aren’t fancy on the outside often serve up the most delicious food. This is also true with pizza places, and here’s one that’s been serving up tasty pies to college students and locals since 1980.

The Pie Pizzeria has five locations now, but it all started in this humble basement restaurant near the University of Utah.
The Pie Pizzeria
The Pie's Underground location opened in 1980. It's just a block from the U of U campus, but it's easy to miss. You'll find it next door to the University Pharmacy, but you'll want to pay attention...like the location name says, it's underground. Watch for the bright red railing.

You'll find it at 1320 E. 200 S. in Salt Lake City.
This basement lair has been a college hangout since 1980, and it's still a popular place for students to gather to enjoy a couple pies.

It's also a popular place for local families - you certainly don't need to be a college student to enjoy this pie!

The walls are covered in U of U memorabilia, and pop culture...but you'll also find that the bricks are filled with the doodles of past diners.

The pizza here is deep, deep dish. The crust is thick and chewy, and the sauce is seasoned perfectly. And of course, there's no shortage of cheese on these bad boys.

You might need a fork and knife to eat this deep dish delight. Seriously. Grab a fork and knife before you sit down.

The Wiseguy Pizza is one of the best specialty pizzas here. It includes whipped cream cheese, chicken, spinach, artichoke, fresh tomatoes and basil, and topped with a balsamic reduction.

The calzones are tasty, too.

Bring your appetite - the pizzas are big, and their so loaded with toppings and cheese that you'll be hard-pressed to devour more than a couple slices. That's ok - this pie is even better the next day!
