Slab Pizza opens in Provo
Several weeks ago now I met my brother and Dad in Provo for lunch at a new pizza place that recently opened. The menu is pretty straightforward. You either get a full 20″ pie or a slab which is 1/4 of a 20″ pie. For toppings, plain cheese or pepperoni are the basic choices. There are also a series of fancy ones.
I have a general rule I follow when trying a new pizza place. In my mind, if they can’t make a good cheese or pepperoni, then it’s pretty likely they aren’t going to be any better when they add more toppings to the pizza. So for this first visit we ordered a 20″ pie with half pepperoni and half cheese. And it was good. It came hot out of the oven, thin and floppy, kind of a thin New York style. Oddly enough, the more it cooled, the more crispy and crunchy the crust got. Don’t take this as a bad thing. But I’ve never had a pizza quite like it.
Overall well worth the visit and I definitely hope to get back again. Go eat there before more people discover this and it gets busy.
