Story

I've had a passion for making pizza since grade school and learned how to make pizza from my older brother, who worked at a local pizzeria. My love for pizza grew while living in Brooklyn and being inspired by Lucali, Roberta’s, Sam’s, and other Brooklyn pizzerias. Trips to Italy further solidified my passion for simply made pizza with amazing ingredients and dough.

Utah pizza is still dominated by chains and is well below the national average of pizzerias per capita, Salt Lake’s growing food economy for an independent, high quality, pizzeria. We want to offer a great product that serves a specific niche to the Salt Lake City food scene. Quality/Artisanal/Traditional--Premium, high quality, fresh ingredients. This includes a focus on thoughtfully sourcing ingredients - locally when possible.

We want our brand to be associated with freshness, quality, artisan, sustainability and social responsibility. We are inspired by the classical and simple traditions of Neapolitan pizza. Our philosophy is very simple. We want to simply, as one of our Brooklyn inspirations Paulie Gee describes, “use really good ingredients on great bread.” Pizza done the right way is not a junk food, but a food you can feel good about eating every day.

Pizza Nono (Nono is "ninth" in Italian) is located in Salt Lake City’s 9th and 9th Neighborhood. One of Salt Lake City’s most walkable residential neighborhoods that has “lately been re-energized by an influx of young couples and families lured by its two-story bungalows and Victorian houses.” We hope Pizza Nono will compliment the thriving business and residential community.

We have a simple menu. 4 regular pizzas, a “pizza of the week”, two simple salads, and a seasonal side. We hope the restaurant will feel cozy and inviting, but also want customers to be able to efficiently order carryout pizza to take on the go. Our wood fired pizza oven makes it possible to cook a pizza in a couple of minutes.
