Embark on a culinary journey through Salt Lake City's most tempting pizzerias, where we slice into the good, the great, and the must-try pizza joints in town.
A revisit to Litzas Pizza evoked a sense of nostalgia, but the new management has seemingly altered the cherished flavors of the past. The Traditional Combo that once burst with zest now presents a lackluster cheese and a sauce that failed to impress, coupled with a service that's taken a step back. Although the venue beckons with promises of yesteryears, one may need to adjust expectations, as this nostalgic eatery seems to have lost a sprinkle of its historic charm in the transition.

Venture slightly north to Z Brothers Pizza and you're in for a treat that comes with a bold claim as 'Utah's best pizza... period.' I can't dismiss this claim too quickly, particularly when considering the overall excellence from the tantalizing custom pies to the top-notch vegetarian options. Imbued with a casual atmosphere, a picturesque deck in Centerville, and an exceptionally friendly staff, Z Brothers offers a scrumptious experience. Despite a slight wait during peak times, the effective service, free parking, and affordable pricing make any minor inconvenience worth your while. Z Brothers stands strong in the culinary lineup of Salt Lake City as a go-to for any pizza craving.

Pizzeria Limone hits the sweet spot with its authentic Neapolitan-style pizza, enticing diners with perfectly charred crusts adorned with an irresistible selection of toppings. Accompany your meal with a refreshing glass of lemonade or opt for the gastronomical intrigue of the Pera Pizza. The efficient, friendly staff caters to both busy lunch-goers and those seeking a leisurely meal. While the online ordering can incur an extra cost, the benefits of complimentary parking, vegetarian-friendly offerings, and the cozy space compensate for this slight imperfection. Pizzeria Limone earns its place on this list, promising a culinary slice that whisks your palate to Italy without leaving Salt Lake City.

At the heart of Midvale lies Supremo Pizza, a hidden gem boasting a New York-caliber crust and heartwarming flavors that could easily compete with big city contenders. The staff exudes warmth comparable to their savory pies, making each visit a homely affair. Menu favorites like the Bianchi Spinach Pizza and Garlic Knots offer an undeniable allure that matches the fair pricing structure. Local chatter often heralds this spot as the town's top-tier pizza provider, a sentiment echoed in my own experience. With Supremo Pizza's combination of ambiance, taste, and value, they're spinning more than dough; they're curating an experience that's rich in taste and tradition.

With a crust dubbed the 'Goldilocks' of pizza bases and a smorgasbord of fresh ingredients, this spot offers a customized pizza experience that's both convenient and satisfying. The setting may be minimalistic, but the pizza stands out with its generous variety, catering to vegetarians and gluten-sensitive patrons alike. While peak hours can be bustling and the Cinnamon Monkey Bread might underwhelm, the Garlic variety is a sure hit and the service remains swift and friendly. Papa Murphy's is an ideal choice for stocking up on delicious and ready-to-bake pies for a cozy night in or a week's worth of meals.
