From thin crust, New York-style pizza to deep dish Chicago-style pies, Utah has plenty of pizza places to satisfy your cravings, but there’s only one pizzeria in the state that’s actually certified by an Italian organization. If you’re looking for the most authentic pizza possible, you’ll want to visit Settobello.
There's only one pizza restaurant in the Beehive State that's certified by the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana in Italy. For the most authentic Napoli pizza, you've got to visit Settobello.
You'll find this little gem at 260 S. 200 W., Salt Lake City, UT 84101.
Step inside and take in the aromas of brick-oven pizza. This cozy place has plenty of seating, but it can get busy on weekend nights, so plan on a bit of a wait.
The most authentic Napoli pizza starts with the right blend of flour for perfect fermentation and a soft, pliable dough. The flour is imported directly from Napoli, Italy.
The result is a unique pizza that's truly unlike most pizzas you'll find here in Utah. The crust is soft and foldable, and the char spots on the dough give it that wonderful wood-fired flavor that Napoletana pizza is known for.
You'll find a mouthwatering array of pizzas here, including standard favorites like the Margherita pizza with fresh mozzarella and basil, and specialty favorites like the Diavola, with crushed tomatoes, finnochiona, roasted red bell peppers, crushed red peppers, garlic, and mozzarella.
