There are many cities known for their delicious food, and Salt Lake City, Utah is definitely one of them. After doing some research on the best Italian food in the area I found quite a few options.
While considering restaurants I had to be sure there were no-meat options. It was not a big problem since all Italian restaurants serve vegetarian dishes.
When I order food, I like something quick and easy. I don’t mind picking up my order but sometimes I prefer having it delivered. While exploring some restaurants in Salt Lake City, there were many restaurants that offered both. Another requirement I have when getting my food delivered, I prefer to not spend too much money since I don’t get the full experience. I am generally not picky with what I eat, and I am open to anything, except for meat of course.
One restaurant that caught my eye was The Old Spaghetti Factory. I found this restaurant by searching up the best, most reasonably priced Italian food “near me” and this was the first result. The restaurant has 2.9K reviews and 4.3 stars on Google. I started by reading Google reviews and they were pretty good. Most customers described the food as delicious and authentic. I found the prices to be okay since many reviews said the portions are very generous. They deliver on almost any app and are open for pickup. However, after digging deeper several people found inconsistencies with food quality, which ultimately was the deal breaker for me. I appreciate consistency and dislike getting my food worse than it was “last time.”
Valter’s Oateria is another restaurant that instantly popped up and was reviewed by many blogs. The pictures of the food made my mouth water. The food was well presented and looked so tasty. They have 4.6 starts with an enormous amount of reviews, 2.6K. People on all different websites described it as fantastic, phenomenal, excellent and “HANDS DOWN the best restaurant.” The down side of this restaurant was the price. Although it is a fancy restaurant, I prefer not to spend a-lot of money on takeout. If I am spending that kind of money, I would rather a dine in experience. It was available for take out but not delivery.
The last restaurant, and the one I chose as my favorite in Salt Lake City was Sicilia Pizza & Kitchen. I did some research on reasonable food and this looked like the most convenient one. It has 4.3 starts and over 800 reviews. People described it as fresh and consistent. I am amazed by the prices considering many restaurants were pricey especially when the delivery fee is involved. A pizza was around $13 while the competitors were priced close to $30. It was available for delivery, pickup, and dine in.
