Salt Lake Pizza %26amp; Pasta
"Salt Lake Pizza and Pasta: A Slice of Heaven" - Salt Lake Trib
"The remodel that Salt Lake Pizza and Pasta has done adds tremendously to the ambiance of the restaurant. The new large windows are just what were needed to provide plenty of natural light for daytime dining. One might not notice the new floor tiles or carpet upon entering because the eye is immediately drawn to the stunning photographs of southern Utah which grace the walls. For those frequent visitors, you will marvel at what they have done with the restrooms. With all these changes, the one constant is their quality of food. This is truly a restaurant that must be visited." - DC Dining Guide
