Pizza Place

We were staying near Bryce Canyon, and the pizza place in the lodge was closed so we decided to try this place. Just to set the stage, we came in around 8:00 PM (they close at 9:00) and there was a party of 15 in front of us that needed to be seated, so I wasn’t expecting a fast dinner. We were seated, and it was probably 15 minutes before our server acknowledged us, and her intro to us was «so are you ready to order?» Not starting off on the best foot, but I would give her a break, since they were really busy and it was near closing time.
We ordered two 10″ pizzas, a salad, and a Coke. Pretty easy. It took 15 minutes to get the Coke (which was extremely weak), and around 25 minutes later the pizza comes. We told the lady who dropped off the pizza that we had ordered a salad, and that we just didn’t need it at that point since the pizza was already there. She got defensive about that and said that they were making the salad then, because they were busy. We reiterated that we didn’t want it at that point. We also said that the Coke didn’t taste right, and she again got defensive.
The pizza itself was AMAZING. way better than I expected to get in a place like Tropic, UT. midway through the meal, I requested our check whenever she got a minute (not our actual server, the lady who dropped off our food). She got defensive again, asking if we were finished already, and then said we’d have it by the time we were done eating.
Shockingly, we didn’t get it by then, and had to ask the third person who stopped by our table for the check. Our original server finally drops it off, and we go up to the counter to pay. We stood at the counter for about five minutes with no one coming to take our money (they weren’t as busy at this point), before finally just leaving the money on the counter and leaving.
So I’m kind of conflicted on how to score this place. On food alone, it would get a 5, but it was truly the worst service I’ve ever had in my life. So I guess I’ll split the difference and give them a 3.

Came in to place an order for some takeout. A younger waitress was super nice taking order and at end when getting food. There was an older waitress also working who must have been mad at the world. She was rude to everyone. I know the place was busy at the time but no need to be so rude. Pizza was ok, nothing special. Garlic bread with cheese was meh.

So happy with this place! The salad and the pizza were delicious. The service was really efficient and fast, despite how busy they were. I would definitely come back!

We had a large Pizza Hawaiian TO GO.
Pizza was perfectly baked in 15 Minutes.
Could not be better, THANX!

EXPERIENCE:
After backpacking for several days, me and The Crew were in dire need of a protein and carb overload. We wanted to find an eatery that met our criteria; open now, within walking distance of our hotel, clean, good quick service, and able to accommodate our group. Thankfully with limited establishments in the small town of Tropic and few options, Pizza Place hit all the marks.
Only a few hundred feet from our hotel, Pizza Place was open. Upon walking in, I think we took the staff by surprise. The place was empty the the exception of one couple sitting in a booth. Looking around the woodzie interior, clean and set booths ran along the wall, as well as a couple tables that could accommodate large parties. So far so good.
Once seated, we were handed menus and water was delivered. Off the bat, Leader of The Crew wanted jalapeño poppers. Order went in and we continue to deliberate over which of the seven pizzas to order. We narrowed it down to three;
The Veggie-​Onions, Mushrooms, green peppers, tomatoes and tomato sauce.
Chicken Bacon Ranch-​White Meat chicken breast, real bacon, with Ranch dressing drizzled on top.
McLain’s Favorite BBQ Chicken-​White chicken breast with their sweet and tasty barbeque sauce.
The wait time wasn’t long at all, then again, perhaps we just didn’t take note because we were enjoying the oven hot poppers and collaborating our return to the Paria.
Having heard from the hotel concierge that Pizza Place makes their own crust every couple of hours, we were in anticipation on the taste and texture. After first bite, the taste buds confirmed it’s freshness. All three pizzas were delivered within moments of each by our friendly server. It’s feast or famine or survival of the fittest with the peeps, so no time to take pics, this time. Pizzas were hot, the cheese was ooey gooey, and the crust soft and light on top and slightly crispy, not burnt on the bottom.
Once the dust settled, four pieces remained, but not for long, just long enough for me to click a pic, then there were none. Yep, this place met our criteria. Would we be back? Why, yes. In fact we returned the next day, two less people and one less pizza; veggie and McLain’s favorite.

We drove here from Ruby’s Inn for a change of pace. It was a good experience. Clean, the service was friendly and the food was good. Atmosphere was relaxing. We enjoyed our meal. Good portions, and the brownie sundae was worth sharing.

Really beautiful deck, nice and friendly serving staff. Good pizza halfway between deep dish and thin crust. Good value:)

After hiking in Bryce canyon we had dinner here, ordering a salad, meat lovers pizza, and bread sticks.
The salad came with radish, cherry tomatoes, ice berg lettuce, cucumbers, and dressing of your choice. It was okay, standard and nothing out of the ordinary. Nothing fancy.
The bread sticks were buttery, crispy on outside, and chewy on the inside. They came in a small sized pizza pan topped with cheap mozzarella, suggesting that the bread sticks are actually pizza dough cut into strips rather than wedges. They had good flavor, and came with marinara sauce and ranch dressing. Both were pretty standard of what you would expect from a pizza shop, my only grip is that the marinara was cold.
The pizza was 15″ diameter, and pretty massive for its size. The crust is a medium thickness, not super thin NYC style, nor fat thick like Chicago, but has enough heft that 15″ will definitely be enough for a party of three. Toppings for our pizza included pepperoni, ham, and sausages. The pizza tasted good. It is your typical grease ball pizza, eaten at birthday parties or base ball games.
The decorum isn’t anything special, but it is clean, and well lit which is a plus.
My only problem with dinner was the service. During power hour, around 7pm, the inside dinning area was packed. All 16 tables were occupied with at least 5 people per table, all of which only had one server managing them. This resulted in 15−20min delays in orders. I assume the kitchen was getting slammed, and required the other staff to make ends meet. The waitresses themselves were kind and very accommodating.
Price wise it isn’t cheap but what can you expect from limited options in a semi touristy area. If you have to choose between frozen 2 dollar burritos and this place. Do yourself a favor and eat here.

We visited Pizza Place while in town to see Bryce National Park… staying in Tropic quickly revealed the limited choice of dinner places and so we went for the lesser of the two evils.
The food was decent, the fries were ok and the bread stick dough was tasty but maybe too much cheese. The ranch dip was weird, but it could be that I’m not a big fan of ranch dressing. The pizza was decent, not too bad; the dough was fresh as were the toppings, but the same as most other thick crust pizzas.
What was most disappointing about this restaurant was our waitress. Though she was prompt about taking our order and the delivery of the food, that was about all we could say about that. She was more than pleasant with the other tables but with us — it was business as usual.
In the end it’s a reasonable choice in Tropic, home of three restaurants.

We had a long day of ATVING and the gluten free pizza was perfect. We ordered the Hawaiian, taco and the veggie pizza and all were great. We would have given five stars had there been a wine list to choose from. Beer only and soda/​water. We ordered two house salads that both had fresh veggies. The service was prompt also and the restaurant cleanly. One thing on way out they have a dish of Andes mints and they were charging .25 cents for one. They should given each customer in the party one free with the bill.

This place is awesome. A must if you are going to Bryce or Grand Staircase. We got the 15 inch pizza. Half supreme/​half pepperoni. We just got back from a 2 hour hot hike. Our family of four are all but three yummy pizzas. The cheese breadsticks and the brownie with ice-​cream is also to die for. I don’t think you can go wrong with this place. Great crust, great sauce, great cheese, great topics. Thanks pizza place for the great experience. Staff nice too. Hit the spot!

Acceptable pizza served by friendly people. The pizza was hot, the drinks were cold and we had enough left over to enjoy the next day. It was not great but it was good enough in a place with few choices. BBQ chicken pizza was three star. Not crowded on a week night. Lots of locals dining while we were there.

As others have stated, not a lot to choose from in Tropic. We were seated promptly, and our waitress was very friendly. Furnished like a typical pizza joint with tables and booths. The pizza was pretty blah, but ok. Same with our beers. We each had a Goose Island IPA, but because of UT liquor laws, it was 3.2 percent, and did not taste right. It wasn’t bad, but pretty light. If you are staying in Tropic, a decent place for lunch or dinner.

Very friendly and clean. The pizza was great. It was homemade and not greasy. They even had some nice craft beers.

There is nothing remotely tropical about Tropic, but it is remote. There appears to be three places to eat dinner in Tropic — an overpriced restaurant with a view, a diner serving frozen food, and this pizza place that is literally called Pizza Place.
The «Pizza Supreme» had the right amount of sauce and cheese for the crisp and medium-​thick crust. Trying to be healthy eaters, we had a green salad with a variety of non-​lettuce vegetables and hard-​boiled egg. Pay extra for extra dressing because the one tiny cup wasn’t enough.
There was a slight delay being seated, but after that there were no problems with service. Ultimately, dinner was quick and cheap which suited us weary travelers just fine.

Given the very few options for places to eat in the area, we were really impressed. The salad was not a typical pizza shop iceberg lettuce salad but was entirely mixed greens with a lot of additional veggies. Pizza was real good. Pasta was OK. Portions were enough for two meals. Would definitely recommend a stop at pizza place if you’re looking for dinner.

Pleasantly surprised by my pizza. This place was recommended by Echelle from the coffee house next door, so we decided to give it a try. My friend and I both ordered personal pizzas, hers Hawaiian, and I had the BBQ Chicken Pizza. The crust was really good, I couldn’t believe it. I was expecting frozen food style. BBQ Chicken was the favorite out of the two, next time I would add some red onions to it. We both had dessert, my coke float hit the spot, and my friend had the sundae, which was pretty standard, but good. I’d come here again if I find myself back in Bryce.

Stopped by this place while we were visiting Bryce Canyon. We stopped by at around 8PM after a long day of hiking. Waited for 30 minutes before being seated even though there were plenty of tables. They have one waitress and a little kid helping with cleaning tables. Seem like a family owned restaurant. Our foods came out fast and was not bad. We got pizza, breadsticks and chicken wings. Overall a good place for dinner. Just be ready to wait.

We went there today and wanted a beer and some dinner. When we walked in the it said «hi how are you» to the hostess. She replied with «2» and I said yes there are two of us. She led us to a table and walked away. Several minutes later a woman delivered a pitcher of water without making eye contact. There were 4 other people in the restaurant at the time. We sat there for about 8 minutes being ignored. The hostess was on the telephone in the front and the waitress would walk by and check on the other two tables. I wondered if we had actually died in Bryce Canyon and nobody could see us. As we left I thanked the hostess for the water. When I was getting in my car I could see the silhouette of the waitress staring out the window at us.
The service was terrible (or I am dead)
The water was crisp and refreshing

This was the only restaurant open in Tropic when we came in to town, so that made our decision for where to eat pretty easy.
The food was nothing to get excited about. My wife and I split an order of the Garden Salad and a Supreme Pizza.
The salad, to its credit, had a lot of good toppings on it — cherry tomatoes, onions, carrots, cucumbers, green peppers, hard-​boiled egg, and croutons. While most of the salad seemed fresh, I had a few cherry tomatoes that looked like they had seen better days.
The Supreme Pizza was topped generously as well — pepperoni, sausage, ham, mushrooms, green peppers, onions, olives, and pineapples — everything you’d expect on a supreme pizza. The crust, however, seemed like it was a pre-​made, pre-​frozen crust bought from a nearby grocery store.
While the food was so-​so, the service was lacking. Our waitress seemed like she was constantly in a rush, and we were more of a nuisance than we were appreciated customers, even though the place wasn’t even half full. I asked her what size the salad was, and she told me it was a garden salad. I asked her again what size the salad was, telling her I was more interested in how big it was rather than its contents, because I was curious to know if my wife and I could split it, and again she said it was a garden salad with tomatoes, carrots, etc. Um. ok so I asked to give me and idea by showing me with her hands how large the salad plate or bowl was, and she said she never measured the size of the plate, so she didn’t know how else to describe the size of the salad except that it’s a garden salad. Interesting. I also overheard her tell the couple at the next table over that the reason they hadn’t been served yet was because they sat themselves instead of waiting to be seated by one of the waitstaff. Who says that to a customer?
It seems like restaurants are slim pickings here in Tropic, so I suppose beggars can’t be choosers. But I don’t think that’s a good excuse for sub-​par customer service.
