Salt Lake Valley Pizza by Style and City: A Map for Movers

Pizza preferences are surprisingly hard to change after a move. Someone raised on a foldable New York slice rarely converts to a soft, blistered Neapolitan pie, and a fan of Detroit's crispy cheese edges will notice quickly if the nearest option is a delivery chain. For buyers relocating to the Salt Lake Valley, knowing where each style is actually made can help narrow down which city or neighborhood feels like home.

This guide sorts the valley's pizzerias two ways: first by style, then by area. It describes what each place makes rather than ranking them, because taste is personal and the "best" pizza depends on what a reader grew up eating. Every pizzeria listed was confirmed operating in 2026 through its own website or recent local coverage, but hours and menus change, so a quick check before visiting is always wise.

A Quick Guide to the Styles

• Neapolitan: A thin center and a puffy, charred rim, baked very hot and fast. Toppings are sparse, and the middle is soft enough that it is often eaten with a knife and fork.
• Roman al taglio: Rectangular pizza baked in sheet pans, cut to order and usually sold by weight.
• New York: Large, thin slices with a crisp edge and a flexible center that folds in half.
• Detroit: A thick, airy pan crust with cheese pushed to the edges so it caramelizes, and sauce added on top.
• Chicago deep dish: A tall, buttery crust filled like a pie, with cheese under the toppings and sauce on top.

Neapolitan and Italian-Style Pizza

Settebello Pizzeria Napoletana (downtown Salt Lake City)

Settebello describes its pies as genuine Neapolitan pizza and runs a location at 260 South 200 West in downtown Salt Lake City.

Pizzeria Limone (several valley cities)

Pizzeria Limone calls its style modern Neapolitan, and it is the easiest version of the style to find close to home in the suburbs. Valley locations include 613 East 400 South in Salt Lake City, 1380 East Fort Union Boulevard in Cottonwood Heights, 42 West 11400 South in Sandy, The District at 11464 South Parkway Plaza Drive in South Jordan, and 171 North 500 West in Bountiful.

Mozz Artisan Pizza (Granary District)

Inside Woodbine Food Hall at 545 West 700 South, Mozz makes Italian-style pizza with handmade mozzarella and ricotta and offers vegan and gluten-free options. The food hall setting is useful for mixed groups, since barbecue, ramen, tacos and Venezuelan food are a few steps away.

Via Veneto Pizzarium (900 South)

For Roman-style pizza, Via Veneto Pizzarium opened in 2026 at 511 East 900 South, selling rectangular pizza al taglio by weight. Its location on the 900 South dining corridor puts it within walking distance of many older east-side homes.

New York-Style Slices

Slice House by Tony Gemignani (Foothill Village)

Slice House opened its first Utah location on Dec. 14, 2024, at 1332 Foothill Drive in the Foothill Village shopping center, according to the Salt Lake Chamber. Founder Tony Gemignani is a 13-time World Pizza Champion, and the shop sells New York, Sicilian, Grandma and Detroit styles, mostly by the slice. That range makes it a rare one-stop option for households that cannot agree on a crust.

Taverna Pizza (Marmalade)

Taverna Pizza opened in early 2026 at 427 North 300 West, on the edge of the Marmalade neighborhood north of downtown. It pairs New York-style slices with a neighborhood bar and, according to City Cast Salt Lake, stays open until 11 p.m. daily, which suits residents who want a late slice within walking distance.

Detroit-Style Pan Pizza

Bricks Corner (Salt Lake City and West Valley City)

Bricks Corner, a local Detroit-style shop, opened in December 2020 at 1465 South 700 East in Salt Lake City. Its second location, at 2508 South 5600 West in West Valley City, is a 5,000-square-foot space with an arcade and patio. Visit Salt Lake reports that the dough is double-proofed for 24 hours and rises nearly three inches in the pan.

Via 313 (Murray and Riverton)

Via 313 uses heavy rectangular pans and adds sauce across the top after the cheese bakes into the crust. Its Salt Lake Valley locations are at 6163 South State Street in Murray and the Mountain View Village shopping center at 13222 South Tree Sparrow Drive in Riverton.

Slice House

The Foothill Village shop described above also bakes a Detroit-style square, which is handy for east-bench residents who want that style without a drive across the valley.

Chicago Deep Dish: The Honest Answer

True Chicago deep dish is the hardest style to find here. Research for this guide turned up no dedicated Chicago deep-dish restaurant in the Salt Lake Valley. The closest is Rosati's Pizza at 775 East University Parkway in Orem, a Chicago franchise that opened in late 2025 and serves both deep dish and Chicago thin crust. The Deseret News review of the Orem shop singled out the thin crust as the highlight. For deep-dish fans living in Salt Lake County, that means a drive into Utah County or a tall Detroit-style pan pie as a substitute.

Local Chains with Neighborhood Reach

Two Utah-based pizzerias have enough locations that many buyers will end up living near one of them:

• The Pie Pizzeria has operated in Utah since 1980 and offers vegan and gluten-free options. Valley locations include The Pie Underground at 1320 East 200 South near the University of Utah, a takeout and delivery shop at 273 South 1300 East, 3321 South 200 East in South Salt Lake, 7186 South Union Park Avenue in Midvale, and 10627 South Redwood Road in South Jordan.
• Slackwater Pizzeria has valley locations at 684 South 500 West in Salt Lake City, 10290 South State Street in Sandy and 5197 Denali Park Drive in Herriman.

For an adults-only night out, SnowmoBAR at 877 South 200 West in the Central 9th area is a 21-and-over bar built around pizza, cocktails and sports.

Pizza by Area: What Is Close to Home

Downtown, Granary and Central 9th

Settebello, Mozz at Woodbine Food Hall, Slackwater and SnowmoBAR are all close together, mostly near condos and apartments. This is the densest pizza cluster in the valley and the best fit for buyers who want to walk to dinner.

East side and Foothill

Via Veneto on 900 South, Pizzeria Limone on 400 South, Bricks Corner on 700 East, The Pie near the university and Slice House at Foothill Village cover most styles within a short drive of older east-side neighborhoods.

North of downtown

Taverna Pizza gives Marmalade and nearby Capitol Hill a walkable New York-style slice.

Mid-valley

Murray has Via 313 on State Street, Midvale has The Pie on Union Park Avenue, and Cottonwood Heights has Pizzeria Limone on Fort Union Boulevard. The latest completed month shows a Murray median sale price of $521,450, which can be useful context for buyers comparing mid-valley suburbs.

South valley

Sandy has Slackwater and Pizzeria Limone. South Jordan has Limone and The Pie, Riverton has Via 313, and Herriman has Slackwater. Sandy's latest median sale price is $704,500.

West side

West Valley City's Bricks Corner is the standout destination here, especially for families who want the arcade. The latest West Valley City median sale price is $469,425.

Tips for Pizza-Minded House Hunters

1. Check delivery zones, not just distance. A pizzeria four miles away may not deliver across a freeway or city line.
2. Visit on a weekend night. Popular spots in walkable districts bring traffic and parking pressure to nearby streets.
3. Look at the whole food scene. One favorite restaurant can close or move. Neighborhoods with several options hold up better over time.
4. Plan for the drive you will actually make. Deep-dish fans in particular should factor in trips to Utah County.
