Big Apple Pizzeria

It's always the quiet ones... Unassuming, humble, off the radar, this is arguably the BEST, most authentic NY pizza in Salt Lake City. Been here for 30 years. Owner's originally from Staten Island. We saw him bussing tables & chatted him up. Perfectly crispy, succulent crust with wonderful cheese blisters, tangy tomato sauce, dripping in just the right amount of cheese. We went to another, highly touted pizza place visited by the One Bite guy & it PALED in comparison. We tried to look up pizza places worthy of NY on Google & came up wanting. We only found this neighborhood gem by accident after leaving Parleys Historic Nature Park. Don't understand the low ratings. People are out of their minds. Btw, why does Ozzy play in the background of every great pizzeria? PS. Spaghetti & meatb

Big Apple Pizza is hands down one of my favorite pizza spots. Every time I go, it reminds me of how pizza used to be when I was a kid — simple, authentic, and incredibly delicious. They absolutely nail that classic New York–style pizza. The crust has that perfect balance of crisp and chew, the sauce is spot on, and the cheese is exactly what you hope for when you grab a proper slice. It’s the kind of place where you take a bite and immediately think, this is what pizza is supposed to taste like. If you’re looking for real New York–style pizza done right, Big Apple Pizza is the place.

Great quick spot to grab a quick bite to eat. The pizza was thin crusted and yummy, while the garlic knots were FANTASTIC! Everyone was kind and helpful!

Showed up and it was busy so we knew it would take a bit to get our food which is fine. They told me to take a seat and they would be with us. After 15 minutes of no attention I went up and placed my order and told them I was eating in. We never got drinks and after 40 minutes only half of my order showed up and when I asked for my garlic knots, they said sorry we have given them to someone else on accident and that it would be another 20 minutes before we could get our food by which time we had to leave. Half the kids working there were so oblivious it was insane. Great food, just order out so you don’t have to deal with the people there.

great thin crust pizza, sauce delicious and above all they feel very balanced, especially the bbq chicken. and a good lookin spot with brick walls and photos
