Litza's has been around forever, and I recall frequenting the downtown SLC location throughout my college years and, admittedly, I'd have to say that the downtown location remains the preferred Litza's choice. However, after living near the Taylorsville location for ten years, and leaving disappointed time and again, I was so very hopeful that the Ft. Union joint would be more like Downtown and less T'ville--in fact, that's exactly how this visit played out.
On this visit, the restaurant was in the waning stages of a dining room remodel, so perhaps on our next trip there will be slightly less confusion at the checkout counter. But the kitchen was up and running, and the food was far better than the T'ville store's offerings. I went with a classic Litza's pizza, and it was reminiscent of the Downtown location's quality.
If I could, I'd give Ft. Union 3.5 stars, but they just aren't quite a 4-star joint. The service was not great, even though the restaurant was not very busy. Also, our server brought our five meals out in different shifts, so by the time I got my pizza, the first diner in our group had finished their meal--I hate it when places so badly misjudge the timing on the completion of the meals.
Nonetheless, the pizza is pretty good, so I would not hesitate to go back if the opportunity arises. Certainly worth a visit if you are in the neighborhood. read more
