QUESTION
What was your first impression?

THE SCOOP

Char: It is HOT in here.
Emily: A Coca-Cola Freestyle machine? Nice! Wait, is that a wood-burning stove? Cool…but holy crap, it’s hot in here!
Evonne: Cool atmosphere. Trendy. Great location…because it is close to my house. :)
Jenny: There’s a location of The Pie in South Jordan?
Stephanie: It seemed a little small when I walked in. I wondered where we were going to sit. I was pleased to see they had a large upstairs eating area. Oh… and they have a freestyle drink machine. Raspberry Diet Coke anyone?
Vanessa: It’s hot! It’s in the middle of winter and upstairs it was just uncomfortably hot. But you know…sometimes you ignore things like that for good pizza.

QUESTION

What did you like the most?

Char: I love the pizza. We’re The Pie regulars. I also love the cheese pull aparts and a chef salad.
Emily: I’ve been a Pie fan ever since my college days. My fave is still their pepperoni pizza and cheese pull-apart bread, both with a side of ranch.
Evonne: I loved that they didn’t skimp on the cheese, but I am lover of cheese.
Jenny: Have you seen this drink machine? You can get, like, over 100 different flavors of pop. From one machine. I liked the veggie pizza (no olives!).
Stephanie: I really liked the barbecue chicken pizza. It didn’t have has much cheese as the other pizzas which I really like. Plus… did I mention the freestyle machine?
Vanessa: The pizza! My favorite is BBQ Cilantro Chicken, Chicken Ranch and regular pepperoni. How relaxed the feel is of the resturant; lots of times I feel like going to a place like that rather than a fancy smanchy place.

QUESTION

What didn’t you like?

THE SCOOP

Char: As much as I love The Pie and I love Coke Freestyle machines, I have to say that the combination of the two is disastrous. The line was 8-9 people long most of the night and if you’re sitting upstairs and need to head down for a refill, you feel like you’re missing most of the meal.
Emily: I wasn’t impressed with their cheese garlic bread or the sweltering heat upstairs. It’s kind of ridiculous to have upstairs seating without waiter/waitress service I think. I had to keep getting up and down and there was serious foot traffic back and forth. But THE WORST part of it all had to be the single Coca-Cola Freestyle machine. YES, one machine for the ENTIRE restaurant and no other way to refill your drinks! I waited a good 10 minutes to refill mine. It was ridiculous! In fact, it was so bad it will keep me from going back to that location.
Evonne: I didn’t like that they only had one drink machine and it was downstairs. The line was huge and made it hard to want a refill and miss out on good company. Oh, and it was soo hot upstairs too. Just as bad, though, is when I took Savannah back and she started reading what was on the walls. Like on the back of her plate was written something about sucking d**k. :(
Jenny: That pop machine? Only one, which meant a perpetual long line. Also, when I get garlic bread and it just looks like a slice of bread from a bag, I feel disappointed.
Stephanie: I really don’t care for the amount of cheese on some of the pizzas. It is like cheese overkill. Also, there is only one drink machine and it is on the bottom level. Most of the seating is upstairs so it is inconvenient.
Vanessa: The subs & appetizers we tried. The vegetable sub tasted like a bunch of canned, mushy, un-fresh vegetables. Also there was only ONE fountain drink machine (the kind with the touchscreen that has all the different drinks come out of the spout) for the packed restaurant, which led to a long line. And it was really in the wrong place of the resturant.

QUESTION

Would you refer The Pie Pizzeria to a friend?

THE SCOOP

Char: Yes.
Emily: Not this location. I always tell people it’s worth the drive downtown if you want some of The Pie.
Evonne: Yes, I would. I would recommend they sit downstairs…hopefully it would resolve some of my complaints.
Jenny: Sure, if they live in South Jordan.
Stephanie: Yes. Everyone should experience The Pie at least once. It’s a Utah tradition.
Vanessa: YES! BUT…I don’t think it’s the best pizza in Utah like others do. Estes is by far the best and The Pie is trailing right behind it. And the pizza is heavy; you have to be in the mood for heavy pizza.

QUESTION

If you could only send out one tweet about the business, what would you say?

THE SCOOP

Char: Want to watch me eat an entire cheese pull apart? The Pie is the place it happens.
Emily: Love a pound of cheese on your pizza and a unique, original atmosphere? Check out The Pie’s original location. #utah
Evonne: Have you been to The Pie downtown? I had no idea they have other locations that are just as fab.
Jenny: Did you know that there’s a location of The Pie in South Jordan? With a cool pop machine? Don’t bother bringing your coat, it’s hot in there.
Steph: If your tastebuds delight at layers of cheese you should visit The Pie.
Vanessa: Feel like a heavy pizza in a relaxed atmosphere? Head on over to the pie & order a BBQ Cilantro Chicken or Chicken Ranch. Mmmm Mmmm.
