The Pie Pizzeria opened in 1982 in the basement under the University Pharmacy at 1320 E. 200 S., in a location formerly known as Bimbo's. The original Pie quickly became a favorite with U of U students and faculty, and now the restaurant has four more locations: Murray, Ogden, South Jordan and a delivery-only location in downtown SLC.

I've been eating at The Pie almost since it opened in 1982, and I've gotten consistently good food served in a fun atmosphere. The pizza is made with a thick, bready crust, lots of cheese, and fresh, high-quality meats and vegetables. My favorite pizza is the Stromboli, with pepperoni, onions, bell peppers and Italian sausage. The Pie also serves sandwiches, salads, desserts, manicotti, baked subs and calzones.

One thing that sets The Pie's menu apart from most pizzerias is that their largest pizza is a gigantic 23 inches. The 23-inch pizzas feed 10-12 people and are priced at $26.99-$41.99, making The Pie an excellent place to have a party or get pizza for a party.

The Pie's university location, in the basement under the University Pharmacy, is almost hidden from the outside with only a relatively small sign and an arrow pointing customers downstairs. Inside, the atmosphere is warm, pleasant and friendly, with lots of university students and faculty enjoying their pizza and perhaps a beer or two.

Pie employees encourage customers to write and create artwork on the restaurant's brick walls, so it can be a lot of fun just to walk around and admire other people's creativity. The same fun, funky atmosphere and graffiti-covered brick walls can be found at all The Pie's dine-in locations.

All The Pie's locations are busy and popular, and they can get crowded on weekend nights. If they're especially busy, wait times for takeout can be up to an hour. Delivery is available in limited areas.
