We found this gem on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. Definitely worth the visit. Great atmosphere, friendly staff, and delicious food with plenty of gluten-free options for those with diet restrictions. Being downtown, parking can be a bit of an issue, but the experience is worth the trouble. Also, if visiting during peak times, reservations should be considered.

I always feel like a local. The smile, the food, the music and the vibes are immaculate. Keep an eye out for Luis, he is the bartender, the chef and the absolute MAN at this little bar. The digs are small but the vibes match the portions... large. The pizza is phenomenal, best pizza downtown. I always get what I pay for and am always satisfied leaving this gem of a bar. Sincerely, An East Coaster

This location is really convenient and has a nice setup. We googled a nearby place and we're so glad we checked it out. The bartender was very nice and helpful, she made sure we were happy. The drinks were priced very affordable and she made them delicious. The food looked really good, we were in a hurry so we didn't try it but we will next time. Definitely a must visit.

This is the best pizza in SLC. Hands down. If you like traditional NY style pizza this is the spot. I’ve tried every pizza spot and this is it. Light, thin, crispy crust, sauce is amazing, great undercarriage. Zero flop.

In town for FanX. From Idaho but company headquarters is 1 block away and I stay at the Element hotel often. Stopped in for a quick single slice of pizza. Best NY style pizza in Utah county! If you’re staying in a hotel close by and want some good food with a “small bar” atmosphere this IS the place! I’ll be back for sure!

Massive 20 inch thin crust pizzas are unparalleled. Honest ingredients. Truthful to being an authentic pizza. Meatballs are massive. Could have a wider beer selection but still giving it a 5 star. Great service. Just a good time!

Our ski instructor recommended Maxwells as the best pizza spot in Park City. We decided to grab food before our flight out of Salt Lake City and realized SLC had this new location! We decided to go in and were not disappointed! Being a jersey girl, I'm always looking for a good pizza joint and this was it! We grabbed a couple slices and they were pretty good. Honestly, our experience was worthy of writing a review because of our server, Luis. He was super helpful and so attentive. He took care of us really well! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for good pizza!

Great little bar, with great little staff at a great little price. See what I did there. All kidding aside this will be a amazing addition to the community. Good food at reasonable price made with always fresh ingredients. The pizza just rocks. Gotta love that dough.
