50 Best Pizza Restaurants near Cottonwood Heights

“I've come here since I was a kid and never felt the need to give a review until today. Normally you get the average teen that isn't too happy to be working but polite. Today I had an older gentleman help me, and to say the least he was the most positive, patient, kind, and happy employee I have ever encountered at any pizza place. I hope y'all acknowledge him to the fullest!

Vegetarian options: All the typical veggies you look for on pizza!

Kid-friendliness: Never met a kid that didn't like pizza, they have a tale home pizza box for kids that your child can make so they can put as much or as little sauce cheese or toppings as they want or make a cool design or just a smiley face.

Parking: Never had a problem with parking as the adjacent businesses aren't crazy busy, most parking is short term people are there less them 10-15 min.

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair curb access and a not steep slope allows ease of access for someone with a wheelchair or even a walker.

Dietary restrictions: Lots of different options, vegetarian, Paleo, keto, you could even request a pizza with all the toppings on the side of you want vegan and need to add your own vegan cheese. Very accommodating.“

You can park in the back there is an entrance next to cactus and tropicals.“

“best pizza ever!!! We love our friday nights dates here.“

“had to leave a review of this place, because I have ordered over 40 times and they sincerely never disappoint. I worked night audit and they absolutely carried me throughout the night with the best pizza. I'm originally from Long Island and have family in Brooklyn and this is literally my favorite pizza place. They even gave me a slice of cake when I told them it would be my last order, and I was actually sad that I couldn't order from them anymore. This was two years ago, but I know if I came back it would still slap the same exact way. Eat here!“

“We loooooove Wasatch Pizza! I lived in a different state and whenever I came home, having a Wasatch Pizza night was a must! Now, living down in Saratoga Springs, we still make the effort to make it there as often as we can because it’s SO DANG GOOD!! Thanks for the delicious pizza for all these years!!“

“Best Papa Murphy's in town. The employees are mostly a younger crew; they are always smiling and have a great attitude. Just looks like they enjoy their jobs. They make great pizzas always loaded with lots of toppings. I even saw one of them carry an older gentleman's pizza to his car for him. When I order online, the pizza is always ready when I get to the store (usually 20 minutes). Keep it up guys!“

“Most of the time I would give this location a 4 1/2 out of 5, but today they actually listen to what I said about the amount of sauce I wanted on my pizza, too much red sauce usually gives me indigestion, but today the person actually asked me if the amount they put on was okay prior to building the rest of the pizza and it was phenomenal!“

“Very friendly environment, people are very humble and helpful, I’m very happy with the service.“

“Delicious pizza! I got the gluten free chicken, bacon, artichoke. It is one of the best gluten free crusts I've had. If you cook it off the cardboard bottom you get a great crust. No sogginess or uncooked areas. Staff are so helpful and friendly. You can't buy the gluten free crusts from them anymore so keep that in mind if you want to make your own pizza.“

“As a frequent traveler and love of Italian food, I can confirm this restaurant is 10/10. Very unique twist on some dishes, but phenomenal choices. Annie the server is also a gem. The whole staff was so kind. I wish they would open a Miami location!!!“

“Ordered takeout. It was my first time ordering from them. We got a Brooklyn and a Hawaiian. Both were so good!! I love that they have toppings most dont like the green olives. So good! The crust was thinner and crispy. Love the flavor from the wood fire. We really love supporting local family owned businesses. Its easy when they are this good.“

“Great food and service! We will surely go again!“

“The pizza here is decent for Utah pizza but it's not NY style pizza, like some of its other chain locations (in other states). The pizza was made quickly and tasted fine but it just wasn't NY style, like we were looking for. We'd come here again because it actually does seem to be the best pizza around.“

“The food was incredible. Entirely homemade and fresh with high quality ingredients. We will be back for sure“

“Love doing business here, Pizza, consistently done right and on time...However, the website is also consistently difficult to navigate and to drill down, to find and order their Tuesday Special! That is always disappointing! How about letting me click on "Reorder"?“

“My order is always fast and correct. The crew is friendly.“

“My friend and I hadn't seen each other in over a year so we decided on getting lunch and she chose Pizza Limone. We've both been there before and it was perfect! We met there at 3pm and there was only one other table with guests, so it was the perfect place to catch up without interruptions. It's a bus your dishes, so we didn't have to worry about someone checking on us every few minutes. We spent almost 2 hours and it was perfect to have a peaceful conversation in a pleasant environment!“

“I went in on Halloween at 4:00pm and the place was packed. Crazy busy! Jess and her crew were working so quickly to make sure everyone was served. That team was amazing to watch. Jess was very kind and greeted everyone who came in. They were a well oiled machine in a very stressful situation.“

“I was visiting from out of state and had never been to Big Daddy Pizza before, but after seeing all the great reviews, I decided to give it a try. Let me just say, it absolutely lived up to the hype and then some!

From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a friendly smile and genuine hospitality that instantly made me feel welcome, even though I’m not a local. The place has that comfortable, laid-back vibe you want in a pizza spot — nothing pretentious, just good people serving up great food. The staff took the time to explain the menu, offer recommendations, and even cracked a few jokes while I was deciding. It honestly felt like I had been coming there for years even though it was my first visit.

Now let’s talk about the food — because that’s the real star here. I ordered a large pizza with half pepperoni and half veggie because I wanted to sample both ends of the spectrum. The crust blew me away. It was perfectly balanced: crispy on the outside yet soft and chewy on the inside. You could tell it wasn’t rushed or cheaply made — this was dough done right. The sauce had a rich tomato flavor with just the right amount of herbs and seasoning, and it wasn’t overly sweet like some places tend to do. Every bite had depth of flavor that made me want to slow down and savor it.

The cheese was gooey, stretchy, and full of that classic mozzarella flavor that ties everything together. On the pepperoni side, the slices had those little crispy edges that curl up just slightly, releasing that savory, smoky flavor — exactly how good pepperoni should be. On the veggie side, everything tasted incredibly fresh: crisp green peppers, flavorful mushrooms, and juicy tomatoes that actually tasted like tomatoes. Nothing felt canned or pre-packaged.

I also ordered a side of wings because I wanted to try more of their menu. They came out hot, meaty, and full of flavor. The sauce had a nice kick without being overpowering, and the wings themselves were cooked perfectly — not soggy, not overdone, just right.

What impressed me just as much as the food was how attentive and kind the staff were throughout the whole visit. Even though the place got busy, I never felt rushed. They checked in, refilled my drink, and genuinely seemed to care that I was enjoying myself. That kind of service makes a huge difference and really stood out to me.

As someone traveling through, I’ve had pizza in a lot of places, but Big Daddy Pizza honestly ranks among the best. It’s not just about great ingredients — it’s the way they put everything together with care and pride. I left full, happy, and wishing I had a Big Daddy Pizza back home.

If you’re from the area, consider yourself lucky to have this spot close by. And if you’re like me, visiting from out of state, don’t miss your chance to stop in. It’s more than worth it. Five stars without hesitation — I’ll definitely be back the next time I’m in town!“

“This is the most incredible tasting Pizza I have ever experienced. For over 60 years I have enjoyed many styles of pizza. Tonight marks the best flavored Pizza. It is Papa Murphy's vegetable pizza. The flavors permeate throughout it and everything is proportioned perfectly.

Vegetarian options: I do not think there will be another type of pizza for me to enjoy. I am not a vegetarian but the flavors were so perfectly blended and enjoyable.“

“We went into the Saratoga springs location and saw the magnificent looking cinnamon rolls. Much to our dismay there were no raisins and we are always on the lookout for raisins in our cinnamon rolls. Carl, the owner, said he’d make a pan with raisins for just for us. We took 10 huge cinnamon rolls home and the family indulged in the best rolls ever! Thanks Carl!“

“Dough and cheese are good. Toppings are few and far between. Really skimping on their $2-$3 extra toppings. Might try again in a couple months. I’m rooting for this place, you can do better! Also careful one pizza’s crust was blackened on one edge, but not a big deal.

Update 3/3/26: I've changed my review to 4 stars and gave the restaurant another chance (as they asked).
Ordered two more pizzas from here. Again, dough and cheese were amazing. But about 1/3 of the outer crust on both pizzas was burnt/blackened. And I had the same issue with toppings as before. They are few and far between. For example, in my opinion, something like a Hawaiian pizza where the featured topping is pineapple, there should be enough pineapple to get a piece with almost every bite. Instead there was maybe two or three per slice, and the ham was hard to find. On both pizzas most bites are just crust, sauce, and cheese. Maybe this is the type of pizza they are trying to create, - light, minimalist. If so that's fine, and it's just my preference for heavier toppings that doesn't line up.“

“Great Food Friendly Service & Atmosphere“
