The Pie Pizzeria - Take Out & Delivery

THE PIE! The pies are as good as the memories. If this ends up on your bucket list you've waited to long. If you are dining in you've gotta go to the Underground location @ 1320e 200s steps away from the UofU it's the basement ambiance that definitely adds to the experience. This place is what you think of when you think of the college experience or memories. Decisions start at the door. Focus! You might forget to read the menu because every inch of this place has been tagged buy locals, my name is scribed near the bathroom I think. Ok what to order? Zappi, a pie, spaghetti, ugh I cant choose. If you have read my reviews you know my punctuation is poor and my pallet is simple and plain. Depending on what time of day you are there helps with your choices. Lunch or late night I go slice n salad and its plenty. The salad is a typical side salad but they have the good ranch not the Costco jug of HVR. Its gotta be made in house. Dont forget a side of ranch or 4. They start with cheese, then you add toppings to your liking. I'm going pepperoni sausage. Now they slide that bad boy back in the oven, I like it well done but they are the masters. Your slice is HUGE. Knife and fork is needed if your wearing a tie but sorry you are wearing one they are awful. If you go "all in" be careful the cheese can string forever and you dont want your cheese and toppings in your lap. Ooh man such cheesey goodness and the crust is what makes it so great. It's made in house daily and it has that flavor that comes with an oven that has made thousands and thousands of pizzas a year. Its hand tossed style and never doughy it's perfectly done. It's got that bite but got some chew to it and I love the end crust it's the finish you want, its all most like s-×. This is where your side of ranch makes your last few bites so epic. Gluten free crust is available. I dip in ranch the entire slice but minimally because over dipping covers up the great tastes you are there for and there is time and place for over ranching and it's called Pull-a-part. What's that you say? OMG so good they dissapear. They come with or w/o cheese. I go w/o because you get enuff cheese on your pie. It's that great crust brushed with olive oil and sprinkled with oregano, parm, and romano baked golden brown with sides of pizza sauce and ranch (get your friends their own ranch) you gotta watch yourself because you can fill up on them instead of your pizza or spaghetti. Funny how my friends always order after me so they can find out if I got pull-a-parts they can bum. I try to bogart the P-a-P's but before you know it they're gone and your friends too. There are plenty of Pie delights I haven't mentioned. Calzones stuffed with spaghetti, mozzarella, meatballs, and love, then one with whipped cream cheese, spinach, and veggies. Last you have the Zappi the Calzone little brother. It starts with cheese and sauce and you add the toppings. This is a savory turnover delight. It seems small next to a Pie but it feels huge in your tummy. They have several specialty Pies and of course create your own. They have 3 or 4 subs that look delicious but I haven't tried. After your finished you'll need a few minutes to box up what you couldn't finish, loosen your belt, and finish reading the wall next to you. On weekend nights it will be busy and a line forms outside waiting to get in. So be thoughtful and consider not sitting around to long so the people in line get to have their own experience and a Pie. I love this place I've been a customer since I was 12 and from 16yrs old till 23 I was there 2 or 3 times a week. Its mostly delivery now but its great to stop in and relive my youth. Definitely try the Pie. (Call before you go to the different locations because the basement location is somewhat small and close quarters and has been closed for safety reasons associated with covid virus.) Delivery and takeout are available check your areas. Wear your masks people I miss being able to experience things as the should be. Enjoy
