My recent pizza sampling adventures brought me to Free Wheeler based on the glowing reviews and recommendations of fellow Yelpers. I have to agree, this is some of the best pizza I've had in the Salt Lake area. Free Wheeler is takeout/delivery only. There is nowhere to stay and eat onsite. Thankfully, the location is close enough to home that our order was still piping hot by the time we settled in to eat. Their website is very nice and easy to navigate. Parking at the location is pretty much street only unless you can squeeze into the Crown Burger lot on the corner. Inside was simple and clean. We were greeted promptly by multiple staff members who were all at work preparing orders. You could even see the dough being tossed in the air and rolled through a little window to the prep area. We placed an order online during prime time at 5:45PM on a Friday night. It was ready on time at for us at 6:15 just as they quoted. I was intrigued by a couple of the specialty offerings like the Greek Supreme pizza with Tzatziki, feta, and olives. The Super Buffalo Chicken with Litehouse Bleu Cheese looks tempting as well. I also noticed they have a pie that appears to be very similar to the Royal With Cheese from Victor's. This is The Three Wheeler with smoked Gouda, smoked provolone, and cheddar. Having made some mistakes in my ordering recently, I decided to keep things simple and stick to our favorites. After seeing the photos, we had to try a calzone. We went with the Cheese Calzone that had mozzarella, Monterey house blend, and ricotta. I chose a 14" sourdough with double pepperoni, mushrooms and banana peppers. I like my pizza well done with crispy pepperonis. It is usually hit or miss whether or not the well done request is noticed, but I'm happy to report that Free Wheeler got the message loud and clear. Our other selection was a classic 12" "Aloha" pizza with Black Forest Ham, pineapple, and black olives. We got ours with no bacon and extra cheese. Again, Free Wheeler made all our pizza dreams a reality. The crust was flavorful and delicious on both. The Calzone was picture perfect and it tasted as good as it looked. Our order of two pizzas and a calzone was executed flawlessly within a half hour and the bill came to a reasonable $57.10 (not including tip). When we arrived to pick up the order, the woman behind the counter asked if I would just sign the credit card slip (obviously wanting me to add a tip). I was happy to oblige for the locally owned and operated establishment that provided above standard service and exceptional pizza. We will be back for sure, and if you're craving some good local pizza, I would highly recommend Free Wheeler.
