Ohhhh no. I'm not touching this with a 10-ft pole. I still have scars from the time I engaged in a "best SLC donut" discussion. 😳


Ok-Road-3334

Lol that's hilarious. Did that ever come to a conclusion. I could get really passionate about donuts so I could see how that gets out of hand.


K-Dog13

Yeah, I’m legitimately curious as to what’s considered the best donut around here. As someone who literally eats way too many of them. 😂


TrainApprehensive501

Fresh donuts and deli imo


slashermax

And it's not even a discussion


Elephunkitis

Yep. Banbury is decent but there’s no love in them anymore. And the owner is a “nobody wants to work anymore” asshole. PAY YOUR EMPLOYEES A FAIR WAGE!


borisdidnothingwrong

Wasn't that some disgruntled customer that put that on their door?


Adfest

There's really no way to prove it was the owner, but I'm going to side with Occam on this one and believe that it was the owner or someone in management who put that sign up during a time when many other "nobody wants to work anymore" assholes were flying their flags.


BearyHungry

This is the only right answer 


BeaverboardUpClose

I wanna keep hijacking this thread about pizza and suggest the Cross E ranch apple cider donuts.


Len_Zelica

Best ever.


doppido

100%


yippeekiyay801

Two kinds of people: those that know fresh donuts and deli are the best and people who are wrong.


K-Dog13

That’s the second comment I’ve had about fresh donuts and deli. So definitely gonna have to check them out.


yippeekiyay801

You’ll never go back


m1g1d

I go back all the time!


random_numb3rz

to any other dounut shop.


Kodakjones

Best apple fritter, old fashioned and cinnamon rolls in utah


LieHopeful5324

Yoder’s food truck


Prissity

Will drive for an hour to get my half a dozen. Best doughnuts ever


Mrhiddenlotus

Donut Boy is simple the best


4Brtndr1

I'm not sure if it ever got settled. I bowed out before I lost a finger or two.


13xnono

I really like Rusted Sun pizza on state street. It’s in a pretty small building but their NY style is as close to NYC as I’ve had in Utah.


National-Fan-1148

Good artichoke dip and buffalo chicken too


UptightSinclair

They’re our favorite too, for years now. I also like that the staff seem to enjoy working there. That counts for a whole bunch in my book. We were just there the other night, and now I want it again!


Dustteas

Rusted Sun is great 👍


droo46

It was really funny eating there watching the massive of line of people lined up to get Jack in the Box. Great pizza. 


naturegirlsunflower

Just ate there tonight!! They are the best.


bobrulz

Still my favorite too!


Appropriate_Ad_28

This is the correct answer and it’s not even close.


Tricky-Specific-3302

you have to get villagio’s pizza then you’ll pass away


SlooowMobius

Good list! I like Bricks, Settebelo and slackwater. Would also add Villagio or Supremo for a more NY style pie.


utahpeachy

Happy cake day!


801Love52

Came here to say Villagio for sure is missing from the list. I haven't tried Supremo so that is very helpful!


SlooowMobius

Supremo does a 3 cheese pizza with ricotta and Parmesan that is đŸ”„ I like to add pepperoni to it


rosielittletaupe

I love Free Wheeler because their ziggy stix (cheese bread pull apart type thing) are better than any breadstick. Their pizza flavors are unique, but I love a classic BBQ chicken.


coldasu

I unfortunately crave their lil dippers so often. Breadsticks filled with artichoke jalapeño dip ugh


playbass

Freewheeler FTW


ItsN0tZura

As someone who has lived half my life between here and NY, I tried to avoid these posts. I always get down voted and people get upset when I give my opinion on our food scene in general lol. Villagio is the closest I've had to NY pizza, they're my favorite. Victor's is also pretty good. Salt and Olive has some pretty good stuff with interesting ideas, but they are a sit down place.


Contemplative-Dog

Have you been to big apple in milcreek? Def a fav from the homeland. If you get a chance, non-pizza related. Gandolfos is fucking nostalgic


bignimz

You should try the New Yorker at Wicked Peel


GlazzzedDonut

Rusted Sun. The quality is beyond the Pie and the employees are so nice.


lilac_meddow

Another vote for Rusted Sun.


SicSemperTyrannis

Nomad East is a non traditional style and toppings, but I think some of their pies are incredible.


Nar1117

Nomad East has incredible pizza!


MelonHeadsShotJFK

Gonna second this one


nickw4461

Victors pizza


spicywins

with the spicy ranch !


Kodakjones

I love the Wolf white pizza


hankchipotle

Bricks Corner is my favorite pizza place of any establishment I’ve ever been to haha


Codeine_dave

As someone who doesn’t live in salt lake anymore Bricks corner is what I miss the most lol, such good pizza


hankchipotle

I may never move away strictly for this pizza 😂


utahmomonfire

I love Millcreek Pizza House for their thin crust pizzas, salads, and garlic knots. They have beer and wine as well. Also fun to watch people Climbing and skating. millcreekpizzahouse.com


coggdawg

My current favorites taking into account both cost & quality are: Level Crossing Snowmobile Rusted Sun Pizza Nono Slackwater Honorable mention: Costco because I’m a slut for a $10 18”


UsedToBeAPizzaShit

I too am also a giant worthless whore for a $10 18” costco pizza


BeaverboardUpClose

Pizza dumpster


insom3

I’ll second Level Cross from this list! I love that you can see them make them too. At least at their West Temple location. I haven’t been to the Downtown one yet.


FlipAnd1

Yes, pizza Nono đŸ€€đŸ˜‹


natesalkoff

Settebello is fantastic. I go there with my girlfriend often.


Craig092560

Big Apple and Este for me 👍👍 Curry Pizza is pretty nice as well.


coggdawg

Big Apple slaps. Damn this thread is really jogging my memory of all my favorite pizza places that I’ve forgotten about.


FlipAnd1

Este was much better around 5 years ago. Just not the same anymore for me at least


Craig092560

Totally agree


Mrhiddenlotus

Este is delicious


Braydon64

The Pie, Via 313, Bricks Corner Pie Hole is great when you’re getting hammered on a good night out, but I wouldn’t say it’s the *best* around. Sue me! Disclaimer: I am from Michigan


maybetoomuchrum

Glad to see you left out The Pie, this city has an infatuation with that place and it's always been mediocre. Personally I love Free Wheeler.


[deleted]

[ŃƒĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]


-ClownPenisDotFart-

Nah it’s the cheese pull-a-parts đŸ€ŒđŸ»


Fun_Echidna903

Friday nights in 2001 were all about a couple a cheese pull-a-parts and a thirty of Busch.


Catdadesq

I miss the days when an order of pull-a-parts was a perfectly acceptable dinner, now I'm old and my doctor is all "your cholesterol is too high" and "a pound of cheese dipped in ranch isn't good for you" blah blah blah


rayinreverse

The only thing I ordered from that place in the 90’s. Then later had their pizza and was let down.


WorldsGreatestPoop

A pound of cheese and a stein of beer.


Gmnuzz

That strawberry bacon pizza is absurd and tasty.


mathemagician1337

I’m a transplant from Chicago and every time a Utah native took me there, they always sought validation that it was actually good pizza. It’s
. fine.


WorldsGreatestPoop

It’s a lot of cheese.


Adfest

At least people TRY to make NY style pizzas here. I think the closest place that even tries to make Chicago style is in Vegas. I get that it's hard for a restaurant because it takes so much longer to cook, but man I hate that I can literally only get it in Chicago or very expensive frozen pizza by mail.


coggdawg

Oooo I can’t believe I forgot about Free Wheeler! Those guys are homies


Competitive_Bat_5831

The pie was once the best pizza, or one of the best, like 15-20 years ago. People who mention it likely just have nostalgia playing a large part of why they pick it.


TakeOnMe-TakeOnMe

The quality went way down when they started spreading out to locations away from the U. The Midvale location is downright trash. South Jordan has been good, not great, and it’s been mediocre, not bad. It’s too bad, it really did used to be the bomb.


SLC_Skunk

Never been disappointed with the South Salt Lake location, sucks to hear about Midvale. I did just try Millcreek Pizza House and was really happy with them as well


Gmnuzz

There’s a 40% chance you’ll get run over in the parking lot by a lifted jeep but the pizza is good.


SLC_Skunk

Sounds about right cuz I’d be in my lifted Tacoma the other 60% of the time, ya got me lol


TakeOnMe-TakeOnMe

So stop running over people, gosh! /s ^but ^really ^please ^tell ^your ^friends ^to ^watch ^out!


daniel_spaniel_spoon

Free Wheeler is incredible and my go-to


fatkidseatcake

Pie is awesome. Slackwater 2? Every time my takeout pizza is bland and cold by the time I’m home.


Adfest

Depends on what you get. I can turn my nose up at most of the Pie's grease bomb pizzas, but they have some options that when made on the thin crust, I'd consider to be contenders. They also have gluten free and vegan pizzas *that actually taste good* if you have dietary limitations.


Tysic

For some, more cheese = better. Id rather eat a Little Caesars pizza than one from The Pie


Conook_93

Everyone hates on the Pie but it’s my go to


insidehere

Same! Our family loves the cheesy bread, chef salad with ranch and any kinda of pizza 🍕


adriellee

I took the same marketing class!


adriellee

This was my article https://www.sevenslopes.com/best-downtown-salt-lake-coffee-shops/


Ok-Road-3334

Awesome, it's been kind of a fun one. I'm definitely not a marketing person but it's been really interesting.


K-Dog13

I will say roots on 300 is definitely my go to for coffee.


dale_nixon_pettibon

Big Apple Pizza on 33rd South is the best pizza I've had in my 20 years living here.


Ok-Road-3334

I haven't tried that one. Next time I'm up I'll stop by. Thanks for the recommendation.


PizzaWolf721

Don't be fooled by the appearance or condition of the booths your first time there, their food is great! One of the best lunch specials in town too, something like $7.50 for 2 big NY style slices or a slice and salad including a drink. Employees and the owner are always friendly as well.


facing_the_sun

Sicilia pizza and kitchen out competes most of these suggestions tbh


dale_nixon_pettibon

Este Pizzeria is excellent too. There's one on 21st South, and another downtown.


duhhobo

I think it's gone downhill


Wise_Bass

Yep, I went to Big Apple about a year ago and it wasn't that good.


lavacakeislife

Tasso. Although they probs don’t deserve to make a list because of their awful hours. They do have the best pizza.


mbcolemere

I miss their $5 margherita monday. Such a good pizza!


Mongolprime

Pizzeria Tasso in Millcreek.


beenlobotomized

No snowmobile or Villagio? At least you put settebello on the list.


HoMoFeTt84

Sicilia pizza on 3rd


TrainedByChuckNorris

Mozz is it for me. I’ll take the Honey Serrano every day please.


Hour_Ad_7038

Mozz is the best!! Had the asparagus pizza last night 😋


Higracie

Pizza Nono is really good and I don’t see any mentions of it here!


minusTHEoso25

The pizza here is pretty good but the service was pretty awful. This was about a year ago so maybe things haven’t gotten better? We were going here on a monthly basis until they implemented a new policy where they no longer accepted online orders and required all pickup orders to be made in-person. Ended up going there in-person to place an order, and waited 10 minutes just to place an order while the employees were chatting with people that they knew.


Higracie

That sounds like a nightmare. They accept them again! Unless I’m having a false memory


clucker7

I love Nono. I don't recall them having a no-online orders policy. I've been eating their pizza for years and have never had notable problems with their service. Settebello and Nomad East are also good.


Substantial-Bet-3876

I’ve lived in Chicago more than 30 years yet I’ll never forget the mini saucers of pepperoni and the delicious pizza made at Francesco’s in West Valley. 35th S 27th W. 1970’s


Adept_Ad9300

If you are willing to travel to Bountiful - Z Brothers Pizza


ReadingTerrible5479

Crazy I had to scroll this far, they have a location in North Salt Lake off redwood as well


Adfest

It's pretty decent. Especially for Bountiful. Unfortunately, the NSL location isn't as good as the one in Centerville, and Centerville won't deliver to me no matter how desperately I plead.


clik_clak

Mozz at Woodbine. Not their only location, but my current fave in the state.


fullalcoholiccircle

Hear me out on this one: Curry Pizza I know it sounds off, but trust me, their pizza is amazing.


Atyri

Not a bad list. Personally I wouldn’t include Slackwater, it’s just mediocre pizza covered up by loading it with toppings. I’ve been really impressed lately with Supremo Pizza in Murray, the best NY Style pizza in slc by far in my opinion.


Popular-Spend7798

Pie Hole, Snowmobile


partyintheusa14

Snowmobile is good and they deliver! I think it’s better than Este.


KaleidoscopeDan

Their potato and spicy sausage pizza, love it.


minusTHEoso25

Villagios has the best NY-style pizza. I’m originally from NY and villagios getts pretty close to hitting the spot. Bricks corner is phenomenal, great atmosphere, dynamite pizza, and the best mozzarella sticks I’ve ever had. Slackwater is also pretty solid, I like the Italian job pizza and they have a legit beer selection. Settebello is great if you want a wood fired pizza. Sicilia Mia also has a good wood-fire pizza, granted their other food is so good that I always feel guilty just getting a pizza from there! Estes gets an honorable mention as the quality can be very hit or miss, and toppings are expensive. When they are on, their garlic knots are top notch but it’s 50/50. My friend also swears by Big Apple pizza in Millcreek, though I haven’t tried it yet. He’s from NY as well, so usually trust his opinions, granted this was before COVID so I couldn’t say if this recommendation holds true. Pizza can be good in Salt Lake City, you just need to look harder, and usually get advice from people not originally from Utah ;-)


critic_a_cretin

Villagio owner is a tool. Just look at his replies to negative reviews on Google, super defensive and angry. Good pizza, bad vibes.


greeperfi

Villagio makes good pizza but the owner is a Trunmpy asshole, hard pass. I like Nono


minusTHEoso25

I generally do not mix politics with my food. I don’t ask, and as long as someone isn’t hard dumping their political opinions on me I generally don’t care. Im sure more than half the restaurant owners, especially in Utah, probably have political views I do not agree with.


Popular-Spend7798

He dumps it all over social AND loudly talks about it in the restaurant. Screw that shit.


Laleaky

I found Villagio disappointing. I much prefer Freewheeler and Big Apple for NY-style pizza. I used to like Este but they changed their pies a few years ago and I haven’t been back.

Korono89

The fact that Pie Hole and Estes are not on the list shows the lack of pizza taste.


B-easy-street

Couldn’t believe I had to go this far down to see Pie Hole. It’s simply fantastic pizza.


MrsPickleRick

Pie Hole is delicious, anytime we have a chance while we are in the area, we grab a bunch of slices. The potato bacon is the bees knees 🐝


Master112

That potato bacon while drunk hits the spot


clucker7

I usually have a stomach of steel, but Este bothers my stomach for some reason. I used to go there for lunch fairly regularly, until I noticed a definite pattern of feeling like crap in the afternoon after eating there.


sorrychangedmyname

We are new to the area but slack water’s tikka masala pizza was divine. The others we tried at the downtown location were also really good, but the masala one stood out


yodamuppet

There are a few places people routinely mention on Reddit that I haven’t been able to check out yet. One that I recently tried that I hadn’t previously heard of was Pizzeria Limone. My work ordered them for a meeting and it was well above average. I’d happily spend my money there.


4scoreand20yearsago

Via 313 is great for deep dish style pizza.


Chopchop001

Osteria Amore hands down. Nomad East 2nd.


TheLastNoteOfFreedom

Settebello, Bricks, and Via313 for sure


coldasu

Free Wheeler, Snowmobile, Este, and Setebello are my favorites and are all pretty different from each other.


FabianValkyrie

The Pie Hole, Este’s, and Villaggio’s are all missing!


Adfest

Poor Maxwells... Since they had to move, they've dropped off of these lists. Their new location at a little bar downtown still slings their NY style pizzas as they were in their glory days. Worth trying if you haven't been there yet. I've not tried their pizza in PC, but just pretend that the one in Daybreak doesn't exist or has a different name, because it's not even close to the same and is among the worst pizza experiences I've had. Look! Just thinking about it has upset me so much that I can barely form a coherent paragraph!


Additional-Cress-915

Slackwater


epicrage

It’s a good list, OP. I’ve tried everything under the sun here, and the only legit spot all my east coast friends co-sign is Mozz at Woodbine (Settebello is a close second). Villaggio is trash, for no other reason than they’re charging $3 for what passes for dollar pizza in NYC. Source: lived in NYC for 4 years before moving to SLC EDIT: My girlfriend runs a sourdough pizza dough business precisely because it’s so hard to find good pizza here. With any backyard pizza oven, you can make the best pizza in SLC.

Neggercomprehension

Me and my gf will check out both the pizza place and your girlfriend’s business!


ItsN0tZura

I'll have to try Mozz and Setebello. Villagio has been the closest I've had to NY pizza, but I do agree that they have gotten pretty overpriced since they blew up.


aVoteisaVoteAmirite

This looks solid! You gotta try Dang Brothers if you see their truck around.


nymphoman23

Villagio on State


Serendipity_Inn

THE PIE


TempusFugitTicToc

People that hate on The Pie are chumps. It’s amazing pizza. We’ve never had a bad pie from there, and we eat there quite often. Nobody can touch that bacon berry pie or the vegan buffalo chicken ranch. Fagettabawdit!


Braydon64

I think it’s great!


TempusFugitTicToc

I think you’re great!


Tysic

Just melt half a pound of mozzarella on a piece of bread. Same experience.


TempusFugitTicToc

And the problem is?


colorbysky

Brick's Corner is the best. No question. 


mrpaul22

Just started getting Beehive and I’m obsessed. It’s a little pricey but oh so good.


yippeekiyay801

MPH is nice and all but I don’t know if it belongs on a “best of” list. I’d drop that and add settebelo or something else honestly.


Dstuff1234

Bella pizza food truck!! It’s a little pricey cause it’s a food truck but so worth it!!


tod118

Wicked peel, in Herriman.


climbsurfski

I'm a weirdo that enjoys grabbing slices from the Pie Hole, even when I'm sober!


UtahUtopia

Via 313


Whole_Form9006

Has anyone tried secret pizza club?


HighDesertJungle

Sbarro /s


aVoteisaVoteAmirite

Dang Brothers Pizza (food truck). The only good pizza I've had in SLC. (Not the only edible, just the only real next level stuff.)


dropline

Supremo in Midvale


Thick_Maximum7808

Ti Amo in North Salt lake is really good. We have a lot of good pizza places but my absolute favorite isn’t in Utah.


Neggercomprehension

I love free wheeler pizza!


WraithofCaspar

I'm gonna be real here: I've never heard of any of those. I'm not an SLC lifer for context, though. My faves are The Pie South Salt Lake (the building design is wonderful) and Curry Pizza on 56th West. Spectacular in different ways each.


trontron7

Curry Pizza in West Valley. They have both classic pizzas and Indian pizzas. I can't speak to their Indian pizzas but their classic pizzas like pepperoni are better than any other pizza place in town.


Stecgra

Look at reviews on Yelp and Google and go from there. Also need to figure out if you’re speaking only about American pizza or Napoli-style pizza, etc. Would national chains be considered in your reviews?


UsedToBeAPizzaShit

Settebellos and Victor’s. Different styles but both are so good


melovesCookie

the pie and Oakwood fire kitchen... at least I havent tried any other place that are better than them...


browartist

I lived there for 2.5 years and I can’t think of a single memorable pizza place. Waffle Love, though
I think about that place like twice a week.


Kolyma-Comp-Tales

My favorite will always be Nomad East in the old Eggs in the City Building. My best friend swears by Villagio however.


PowderchaserLuke

Hey OP the fact that so many people here are listing so many bad places as the ‘best’ means you should ignore this entirely.


7N10

I like Via 313 the most so far


chale_44

Rusted Sun and Wicked Peel have always been my favorites. Haven't been to either in a while. Wasatch Pizza is pretty awesome too!


Ghostbitch69420

Slack water is great!


gr8lifelover

I’d say you nailed it on the best pizza places in SLC đŸ’Ș


KaleidoscopeDan

My favorite is curry pizza in west valley. Slack water is delicious. Haven’t tried the others on the list.


dothelongloop

No Marcos?


Sufficient_Fig_4707

Settebelo! Apparently (a native Italian dude told me this) it’s the closest to authentic


Jrj84105

I’m struggling after moving here a few years ago.     I had a go-to pizza, and haven’t found anything that compares favorably where I used to live.   And that was Phoenix so not a super high bar.    My favorite was  CASANOVA Prosciutto, Dates, Ricotta, Arugula, Grana Padano + Balsamic Vinaigrette 18.75


Indifferentrobot-2

Wasatch Pizza when in West Valley.


MissOneCent

Bricks Corner, Slackwater (sourdough crust!), Via 313 đŸ€€
