I know this is a pizza place, but NEVER order the monthly salad on the special. It was supposed to be a barbecue salad. No barbecue was found on the chicken, but about 1/4 cup of chili powder was poured over everything. The chicken was totally covered in chili powder. I think it was to hide the terrible quality of the meat. The one piece I dared to put in my mouth was tougher than shoe leather. My husband was happy with his order (not on special). Guess I have learned to not order the monthly special. But, the Sandy location won't be on my return list. The Herriman location seems to do better. read more

Love their pizza! It gets busy so plan ahead. I usually go for lunch for work and we try to get there just a bit before noon to get in. My favorite is the grape and gorgeous pizza. read more

I'm not sure why it took me 4 years to finally get to Slackwater. They have such unique pizza options, large beer selection, cool interior, and the food tasted great! The size of the half salad was large, the wings were the smallest I've ever seen but I think they gave more to make up for it and the wings were super unique. And you MUST get a side of their ranch. Best ranch I e ever had read more

Always a fun place to go, the pizzas are some of the best around. They have an extensive selection of beer and ciders. Be prepared to wait for a table if you go on the weekend, but work the wait. read more

Had such a great experience at Slackwater! The pizza was delicious, the atmosphere was fun and laid-back, and there were so many great options to choose from. Everything came out quickly and was flavorful, and our server was friendly and welcoming. It's the perfect spot to grab a good slice, along a cold beer, and enjoy a fun atmosphere. Definitely looking forward to coming back! read more

Best pizza ever!!! Atmosphere was great. Our server was amazing!! We will definitely return here if out that way.

Food and staff are always great. We love eating here. The bathroom is always my only concern. It is a bit dodgy and doesn't seem very clean. I hate their urinals because the splatter back. read more

Slackwater has a cult following for a reason. Every location I've been to is constantly packed! These guys have mastered amazing food, and always provide the best customer service. Anytime our family from out of state is visiting for the holidays, they demand we eat at Slackwater at least once. I wasn't sure about their brunch at first, but it is just as good as their regular menu. We tend to get the French toast as a starter for the table. Breakfast pizza is mouth watering delicious. High quality Bloody Mary and multiple types of mimosas to choose from. read more

We used to love it here, but our last 3 visits were awful & 3 is enough to cross it off our list. POOR MANAGEMENT IS RUINING THIS PLACE! It's gotten so bad, we thought they changed hands. When manager Joey McDowel called, I told him we already decided not to return after being almost weekly customers for over a year. Food & service changed & are no longer good. He ignored me & said since we got 2 different pepperoni pizzas that were both missing pepperoni, they couldn't make us happy & we shouldn't bother going back! I had already made it clear that after our last visit, we had no intention of going back, so there was no need for his call, but he continued by threatening me with trespass if we ever go there again! WHO THE HELL TRAINED THIS INFANTILE BABY? He must be a relative, or he'd never have this job. He is not suited & too big for his tiny little britches. My husband is furious, he's going to corporate & the owners, he couldn't believe what he heard. We're in our 70's, our son is a classically trained chef who liked the pizza here until it wasn't good, my family owned bars & restaurants for years & my husband & I have eaten our way around the world twice but have never been insulted over a pizza. We know Skackwater puts pepperoni under the cheese, it's not rocket science or anything new, but when there is ZERO pepperoni, there is ZERO pepperoni. That's not our fault; it's the fault of Slackwater & managers like Joey who only make things worse. He has 0 people skills & his threatening demeanor is concerning. He was there for the 4-hour episode, where like criminals trying to prove our innocence, we had to rip off hunks of dough & hold them up to prove pizza #1 had only sauce, no cheese, then scrap the cheese off pizza #2 to prove there was no pepperoni underneath & that was after waiting almost 2 hours for them to arrive! After that Joey offered to comp the pizzas & admitted they were having problems in the kitchen. We declined remakes because my husband was waiting at home for his dinner, we were exhausted & just wanted to go. Joey forgot to put in the to-go pizza & we waited another hour for that! No comps, but we paid & left. The to-go pizza looked like a burnt hockey puck. I called & got yet ANOTHER manager who said she'd put a gift card at the front desk that would cover our food, alcohol & something extra for the time we spent, it should have been over $100. We waited 6 weeks & went back, but no gift card. Joey stupidly let it slip that they make so many gift cards for people who never come back that they throw them away every few weeks. That said it all for me! At our revisit, we spent over an hour being interrogated by another manager, she came back 3 times asking for details. We had no time to talk, eat or relax, at one point I told her to forget the gift card, it wasn't worth the hassle. I had spent time pulling up dates, texts & pictures for her & after 2 hours she disappeared & only left us a $50 gift card, 1/2 of what we spent! Bad business. I wasn't going to fight with these people; they make lame excuses & do what they want, so we paid & left. They have no idea how to run a restaurant & apparently don't know what repeat business is worth, which is sad, because people won't keep paying for poor service & bad food. Eventually the Herriman franchise will either change hands or go under. The final straw came Saturday. Against my better judgement after being called by family members who were driving through UT & wanted to make a fast stop at our house for dinner, I called Slackwater to order pizza so they could eat & get quickly back on the road. We ordered 1 cheese, 1 Ironhorse & 1 pepperoni with extra cheese, we got other stuff, but this is about pizza. I got an Ironhorse & 2 PLAIN CHEESE pizzas! All 3 were small & burnt. When I called, I was told to look under the cheese! OMG, we get that Slackwater puts pepperoni under the cheese, we ate there almost every week for a year & told them we had done a full search of the pizza before we called, but there was ZERO pepperoni! We didn't have time to wait for another pizza, so I declined a remake. A manager got on & offered to take the pizzas off our bill. I still don't see the credit & probably never will. Joey never said let me speak to the kitchen, sorry for the 3-hour wait, sometimes when things get busy a topping or an entire order gets forgotten or even, I'm sure things will be better if you try again. NO, Joey chose instead to threaten me, so I wouldn't go there again if Joey paid me to go. There are too many places to dine in this area where we enjoy the food & service. Slackwater is closer, but we'd rather travel than come in contact with a man so unstable he thinks it's best to threaten senior citizens, than make things right when he's the one who made the mistake. After his remarks, we don't feel safe going there. If he gets fired, the kitchen & service will most likely return to normal. read more

Service at the "barside" was fantastic, despite the long line, we ate and had an enjoyable experience. The food, was SO GOOD, and inexpensive. To our surprise the gyro pizza was delicious. The ambiance, busy, fun and inviting. We'd so go back if we lived here. read more

Slackwater - Wings with tomatillo cilantro sauce - Outstanding - Pizza Near Me - Sandy, Utah

Highly recommend getting on their waitlist as it gets packed! If you like pizza/beer this is the spot. They have your traditional pies and some nontraditional pies. I'd personally say nontraditional is the way to go. Ordered: Chicken Bro - 5/5 love the white sauce pizza paired with the tomatoes and broccoli tikka masala - 5/5 if you like tikka masala this is the pie for you and they do a great rendition of it! I will say it's super rich so def need another pie as a palate cleanser Iron horse 3/5 - after eating the other two..this one felt mid LOL maybe not as much flavor? It's still a good classic pie though. read more

Overall it was wonderful and we will be back. I'm docking a star because our server was basically nonexistent. Which makes sense because they were absolutely packed. Tons of people. Maybe they were understaffed? Or need more staff in general. The food was all delicious. We got the Cheesy breadsticks with ricotta. Yum! My kids got a cheese pizza. My husband got a calzone and he loved it. The pizza crust specifically was incredible. My pizza had olives, artichoke and feta. I felt it was overly salty. It was good overall but next time I will probably pick a different pizza. Their sausage was very yummy. The atmosphere was fun, lots of the restaurant had big spaces to the outdoors which was nice, and their decoration fit the vibe. read more

Went there on a Sunday afternoon. The staff seems friendly and it was hard to tell who was a customer and who was a server because of the dress code. Guess I expected better dressed waiters. Ordered pizza and it was average quality. Prices were reasonable. Probably will eat elsewhere. read more

Slackwater has been very consisten with the food and service. We go there often and has not disappointed yet.

The food was "different". Not your usual type of food. Everything myself and friends have ordered has been delicious! The prices are fair for what you get. Staff were attentive and helped whenever asked. Customers were dressed casually. read more

Pizza was decent but not great. However, our server Blake was terrific. Very personabe and attentive. He was a 10 read more

When we showed up, there were probably 20 people outside waiting. They were totally slammed on a random Wednesday night. I was super glad we had a reservation. Despite being slammed they provided great service and were attentive all night. Scotty and Cassidy helped us and they were both awesome. The menu is super fun with a lot of unique pizzas. We got the gyro trip and tikkachu and both were amazing. My husband normally doesn't eat his crust and he said he would eat just the crust from slackwater. The vibes inside were super fun and they opened the big windows which made it super fun. They also do monthly specials which I think is fun. We will definitely be back! read more

This was my first time here. I didn't do the best at getting pictures because I was in the moment. I got the honey hot pepperoni and it was delicious. I liked the portion size as well. It was super crowded and I felt that the waiters had to large of areas to properly help each table. Our waiter was nice, but you could tell he was super busy and couldn't give us his full attention. They had a lot of seating, but too crowded and loud to say much more about the ambiance of the place. I did manage to snag a picture of my friends pizza that she got to go. read more

Love the cheese pizza never thought in a million years I would but I was wrong get this at least once a week

Everyone asks why Slackwater is constantly packed, but then they go see for themselves and they answer their own question. Slackwater is delicious! They have an extensive beer list. There's not anything like it nearby. Great beers, great pizza. Great prices. Great service. Happy waitstaff. The sandwiches/wraps are also fantastic, fresh and delicious side salads, and the mulligatawny soup was just delightful. I recommend joining the waiting list through the Yelp app, that way you can finish getting ready/picking up your date and then you roll in just as your table is ready. It's pretty sweet, and it definitely beats hanging out outside the building for 20-45 minutes. :) read more

Slackware continues to be one of my top restaurant choices. It stays busy for a reason. Great food, chill environment, and great service. I snagged the Hot Honey DP calzone and it did not disappoint. Something about all the melted cheese and pepperoni smothered in honey and dipped in ranch or marinara is heavenly. read more

Very crowded. Our large group had the patio reserved and then the Management put some other reservations there. They packed us into a corner area. The waitstaff were unorganized and had no positive energy. They understood that we were from out of town, yet failed to help us understand the ridiculous Utah drinking laws. It was amusing yet infuriating. read more

This 5 star is well deserved! They had it all- service, ambiance, and 100% the food. Their pizza was simply incredible. My personal favorite was the hot honey DP - I am such a sucker for that hot honey. The portions were a little small so I'd say 1.5 pizzas is good for two people so get a few flavors to try and take some home for later. Their homemade ranch was also legendary, can't skip out on that. read more

Our server was lovely and the menu had a good selection of pizzas and appetizers. The dessert was just okay due to the fact that it's very carb heavy to have after all that pizza. The pizzas were incredible and I enjoyed that they weren't too greasy to eat. Definitely coming back here next time I'm in Utah! read more

Some of the best pizza on the planet! A pizza place so popular that you need reservations?!! That's a first. I would go there just for their crust. So let's dig in... My favorite so far is the Iron Horse with its pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, etc. Such a great combination of flavors from quality ingredients. The first time we tried them it was strawberry season and their special was a strawberry pizza. No, not a desert pizza, but a pizza based on strawberries, there's a difference. And holy Kawasaki, Batman, it was a knock-your-socks-off palate experience! I wish it was a regular menu item. Since then, we've tried several of their specialty pies. All excellent! We've tried their deserts, all good, and the s'more cheesecake was incredible! The soups are great. I normally do not like fancy nachos, but their nachos are really tasty. And watch out for the Diablo bread sticks! You will use the spicy marinara to help extinguish the bread sticks! LOL Their hummus is some of the best I've ever had. Well, yes, everything there is top notch and you can't go wrong. I'm serious about their crust. There are no pizza bones left on anyone's plates. Eating the crust is like having another yummy entreé. The chew is just right, the flavor is perfect. They also have live entertainment on Fridays and Saturdays. I went one night when a friend and colleague was performing, "KY and the Jellies." That was a fun night. The entertainment is not too loud to impede a conversation. Service is always polite and friendly. Empty plates cleared, drinks refilled. It is our go-to not only for pizza but for times when we just want to eat out. I heartily recommend you try the out if you haven't already. 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs! read more

I don't toss out 5 star ratings often but when I do, I make sure the place I'm recommending touches all my bases. First and foremost, food is absolutely fire here. There's no other way to put it. They do a great job with their dishes and man was it tasty. Second part, the inside of this place is great. They have the perfect amount of lighting and the atmosphere makes for a good dinner whether with friends or family. Lastly, I'm a big service person. We had incredible service start to finish and they tended to us like we were their only customers in a packed house. I stand by Slackwater. Cheers! read more
