Slackwater Sandy

We have been to the downtown slackwater and loved it so we decided to try this one in Sandy. It was really busy. We went on a Friday night at 8 and had a party of 10. They got us seated in about 45 minutes. The service was great and the food was delicious. We got the stuffed bread sticks and I tried the Cuban pizza which was good. I should’ve gone with the spicy honey pizza. That was better. All of their pizzas are good.

Not too bad. The spinach and artichoke dip was not very good, and it didn't come out good. 😅 I'll have to try a different appetizer next time. The pizza was good and matched the price. The beer was pretty great, probably my favorite part of coming here.

We ordered 3 pizzas for 3 of us and we ended with just a few slices leftover at the end. All three that we tried were great. We had a California Sunrise, a Gyro Trip, and the Hot Honey DP - different flavor palette for each but all tasty! They were all cooked nicely, and the crust was so good! We went for lunch so it was fairly busy but we still got a table quickly, our server was super nice and our food came pretty fast which was excellent. It was a bit noisy so sometimes hard to hear each other talk even at the same table but overall great experience!

We had Jimmy as our server and he was such a delight. The pizza is the best thing there. My table got one of every pizza it seemed like and each one had a unique but great taste so you can’t go wrong on any pizza. There was live music, outdoor seating, fire pits outside when it was getting darker… just a great vibe overall and would recommend this place to anyone.

The pizza was really great, I even enjoyed just the plain crust with the quality that it was. I am going to have to go back to get a sandwich because they looked great. The staff here was very nice and the food got to our table quickly.

Great appetizer options. They all sounded good, we went with the Devil Sticks (dough stuffed w/ricotta & 3 cheese blend, roasted chipotles, jalapenos, red chili flakes, served w/spicy marinara for dipping). Very tasty and the sauce actually had a kick. There are a lot of tasty, unique pizza options that can also be ordered as a calzone with dipping sauces. It was hard to choose. I went with The Italian Job as a pizza, my son got the Buffalo Chicken Pizza, my daughter got The Grape & Gorgeous as a calzone and my husband got Tastes Like Burning as a calzone. The pizzas are sort of medium sized so could easily be shared by 2 people (as could the calzones but less true than for the pizzas.) We all went home with boxes and yummy leftovers for the next day. Definitely recommend. We will be back to try some more of the apps & pizzas/calzones!

Love Slackwater !! This location is rather large and often quite busy. Live music on the weekend !! Great service. Great food. Fun place to eat alone or with a group of friends. Lots of vegetarian options.

Great service, food and vibes. We’re visiting from the northeast, and have high standards for pizza — this pizza was excellent. We’ll be back :)

Excellent pizza and sandwich, Allergy friendly. Prices reasonable. Waiters friendly and knowledgeable. Front desk a bit stiff. Noisy but expected.

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. :)

I was in the area for work and learned just how busy and popular this place is! Granted we had a large party (they looked like they accommodated a lot of large parties), but even with how busy it was we only had to wait about 15 minutes on a Wednesday. They have a lot of great beer and cider options, either on top or bottled. I noticed they even had one of my local favorites from where I live back in the California, the Cali Squeeze! But I had to try something new so I got a tasty cucumber cider. This place definitely has to be known for its pizzas, as the entire back side of the menu has at least 20+ different pizza combos. But if those aren't enough to choose form, you can also make your own! I was having a hard time choosing but ultimately went with the Buffalo Chicken Pizza. It was pretty tasty, and if I come here while in town again, I'll definitely try out one of their other pizza options.

What a popular place to visit!! We walked in around 5pm on a Monday night and stood in line to get seated. We were able to get seated right away outside which we didn't mind as it was in the shade and under an umbrella. Sometimes Utah in July can get a bit toasty! Our waitress was very attentive and sweet to walk over the most popular menu items with us. The Check Your Garlic Breath was incredible!! They over served the amount of Gorgonzola cream cheese as we had a TON left over - we should have asked for more of that delicious house made toasted focaccia. The pizza was incredible. Their dough has this hint of sweetness to it that makes you want to keep going in for more! I have never had avocado on a pizza, and now I don't want pizza any other way. Such a fun, vibrant and busy place to dine at!

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.

Food was cheek licking good or finger slapping or however the kids talk these days. I loved it is what I'm trying to say. Just went to the car museum across the way. Mustang Sally if you're with us I want the white soft top and the black soft top with the red interior. I love you mustang sally.

Nearly 5 years after my initial review, and Slackwater continues to dazzle with it's delectable food -- it's become my go-to recommendation for family and friends who are visiting from outside of Utah (which now includes myself). The California Sunrise and Iron Horse pizzas hit the spot on our last visit, and despite a very full restaurant, our orders were delivered quickly. 12/10 would recommend!

Best pizza spot in SLC! This is my husband and my go-to date night spot. We love the Hot Honey DP and the You'll be stuffed Sticks and always order both! Slackwater also has a great selection of local beers, ciders, and sours which we are a big fan of. Whenever anyone comes to visit me in SLC, I take them to Slackwater. The vibe is so fun and sometimes they have live music which is one of my favorite things. I've always had great experience with service here as well. One time I didn't like my beer and they let me order a new one - so so nice!

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!

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.

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

A packed house on a Friday night and for good reason - great semi artisan pizzas, big broad beer and bar menu, top notch service, airy open space in Sandy. Only managed to try the hot honey and pepperoni, need to go back and work my way thru all the pizzas. Loved it.

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!

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.

Sat at the bar Jak & Sav & Jessica are the BEST!!!!!!!!!! They are so knowledgeable and had the best recommendations!!

Always a favorite. Favorite go to pizza spot. Make sure to make reservations they get booked and busy.

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!

Go for the hot honey dp pizza! There are tons of craft beer to choose from and live music on Sundays. The service was quick for a party of 12. Loved the vibe and truly enjoyed myself!

Always busy, but worth the wait. The food is really consistent and the waitstaff are young, but very attentive, and thorough. The beer selection is outstanding, and there is live music every week I believe. I've had pizzas and sandwiches at the Sandy location - all fantastic so far. I've had the Cobb salad, also good, but I don't feel like it has enough protein. As far as quality though - everything has been top notch. I'm from CA and have visited this location 4x now, and will always come back, it's a local favorite for sure. Pro tip: bars close early in the area, so get in early enough to beat the wait and if you're alone, grab a high top or seat at the bar. Drafts beers in UT are lower in alcohol, allowing you to sample more great local brew.

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!

This place is always packed for not so good pizza. I don't get it. I've really tried to like this place and the only great thing is the beer menu. Other than that I would rather go to pizza limone.

I had driven past Slackwater -many- times, and I had always been a bit stunned by the number of cars outside. This place seems to always be packed! So, my wife and I decided to see what all the hype was, and we're happy we did! The restaurant was BUSY this night, with people waiting for tables both inside and outside, and every table filled. Luckily we had joined the waitlist, so we only waited about 10 minutes for our table. The ambiance was great, as we were led by a bunch of tables filled with delicious looking food and happy looking people. It definitely built up our expectations of what was to come. Our waitress balanced the fine line of checking in on us regularly but not being annoying - an impressive feat when you've clearly got a lot of tables to be focused on. As for the food, Southern Comfort Redo, Hot Honey Pepperoni, and Diablo Sticks. Everything was really tasty, loaded with flavor. They also had a huge beer list, which is always a nice touch in Utah. We'll definitely be back!

I have been to Slackwater many times. It is always clean, the food is always fun and served quickly and as ordered. The staff has always been great and attentive. When in the area I choose Slaxkwater over the other eating xhoices. Highly recommend.

Pizza and drinks were great. The Yelp waitlist was also very helpful. The ambience was great, and the food was served in a timely manner.

We had a nice lunch here! The double pepperoni pizza was tasty, with a crispy crust that added the perfect touch. Our server was kind and attentive, and the restaurant had a lively, welcoming atmosphere.

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.

This place is tucked away in the mall parking lot but oh my gosh is it delicious! My husband had a couple beers off their GIGANTIC menu and really liked all of them. We split the Hulk pizza and it was amazing. The service is prompt and polite! Our server was great. The restaurant is spotless and has a great ambiance. Will definitely be coming back if I am around SLC again!

Food is always good! But long waiting list and time! Like pizza is the best in town and very reasonable price.

It's just a really good and plentiful pizza. Artisan vibe. The servers were really friendly and there's a place for live music. Live music isn't really my thing at a restaurant, but maybe it's yours.

Solid pizza joint with tons of beer and overall great vibe after snowboarding! Everything is made fresh and full of flavor. Will definitely be back to try more signature pizzas!

I really enjoyed brunch here with friends for our annual birthday meal. Eggs Benedict and mimosas, nom!!!! Very comfortable booth, clean, and great waiter. We had a reservation but it wasn't terribly busy when we went. It wasn't loud either.

Wow! The best pizza I've had in SLC so far. First, logistically the Sandy location is easy to find and ample parking. Lots of seating and our server was kind, attentive, and knowledgeable. The pizza is the star here! They're smaller, so try a few different flavors! The crust is a perfect balance of crunchy and chewy. Toppings were super fresh and evenly distributed. I can't wait to come back and try more!

Food and service were top notch. The pizza was amazing and the pico was so fresh! It is SO loud in here that you aren't able to hear one another talk very well so be prepared. This place is popular!!

Late night stop off after a birthday celebration, it's one of the few places open late in Draper. Had the salad which is big enough to share and pizza. We shared the artichoke dip which was not my favorite, but decent. Service was good, despite this place is always busy. They often have live music. I'd recommend a reservation as they are usually full, which makes the place noisy. Pizza runs around $15 for personal size, so it's in the pricier side. Good for families or adults.

Next time you're craving pizza SKIP Slackwater. When I first moved to SLC and was looking got a good pizza place everyone told me try Slackwater, well I did, multiple times, and each time was disappointed. The dough tasted stale and yet somehow overcooked at the same time. The sauce was flavorless and I wanted to pick off most of the cheese but left it on because if I did I knew I'd be stuck with just the dough and sauce. I tired the Tatse like Burning speciality pie on my second visit and it was better BUT if you have to hide your pizza under a pile of toppings it's not good. If you can't serve a decent basic cheese pie you're automatically disqualified as a good pizza place. And to be honest it feels wrong calling this "pizza" pizza. Call it breadsticks or topped focaccia but please for the love of god stop calling it good pizza. You should walk away from eating pizza feeling light but fulfilled and every time I walk away from Slackwater I felt heavy and disappointed. I've been to Slackwater to two of the locations cause I really wanted to give it a chance but each time was let down. I think what also left a bad taste in my mouth is the staff. The staff at BOTH locations was rude and didn't look or act like they wanted to be there. It honestly felt like it was an inconvenience for them each time they had to check on the table. The one star on this review goes to the restaurants ambiance. It truly feels like a fun place to hangout with your friend and grab a beer. I would just get pizza on the way to the bar instead. Now this is just my opinion (and everyone is entitled to one) but I also think folks are entitled to GOOD pizza.

My family was on a road trip and decided to stay the night in Salt Lake City. We decided to have lunch at slack water. The place was packed during lunch, we were able to get seated very quickly though. Even though we were sitting inside, we had a nice view of the mountains surrounding the city. Our server was nice and gave us recommendations of what to order, as well as things to do in the city. We got the southern comfort, tikka masala, and California sunrise pizzas. They bring out the pizzas very fast here. All of them were good but my favorite was the California sunrise, followed by the southern comfort. The crust was very delicious as well. We also got their char tipped roasted pork chili verde nachos. The nachos were hugeeeee and tasted good. Ur I felt it was lacking in salsa and spice. We got roasted jalapeños and they definitely elevated the nachos. They forgot our tikka masala by only 10 minutes but they comped it for us too

Slackwater is simply the best! The service is always attentive, the food is divine (it might be a bit slow to come out, but that's because the place is busy and the food is quality food), the Cokes are fizzy, and the ambience is welcoming and friendly. The live music on some nights is a special treat. I especially recommend their chicken dishes. They even got me hooked on their divine mimosas. We love Slackwater!!

This would have been 5 stars but we called ahead and was told that we didn't need a reservation as there was no wait. When we arrived 10 min later there was a 30-40 min wait. Beyond that we had a party of 7. The service was great and friendly. The food was good and worth the wait.

Food is so good! Make sure to make a reservation ahead of time since they get pretty busy. They have a few big fire pits outside to keep you warm while you wait. This is a family favorite.

I'd come back just for the swatch YourGarlic Breath appetizer!I LOVE roasted garlic. If you haven't tried roasted garlic you are missing out. Roasting it takes all the bite out of it and you're left with creamy deliciousness. The California Sunrise pizza is just the right combination of chicken, bacon and avocado. So good! Cool, laid back, family friendly atmosphere. We were here for lunch but some evenings have live music as well as the great food. Service was prompt and friendly. Easy access with plenty of parking. We will return when in the area.

Honestly, Slackwater slays and you can't tell me different. Delicious pizza. Lots of seating. You will find a wait some busy evenings, because the food is that good. But rest assured, the food will come out quickly once you're seated. And it'll be worth it.

This is always a great spot to take people from out of town and also just go get some relief. Fabulous pizza with a great environment.

We got here around 3:30 on a Saturday and didn't get seated for at least 35 minutes. The hostess wouldn't give us a wait time when we asked, and there were a few groups similar size to ours that came after us and were seated before us. We tried to call ahead but were told we couldn't make a reservation. Once we were seated, the waitress was impatient and not very helpful. We had to flag down other waiters to help us because our waitress was nowhere to be seen. The music was also so loud that I couldn't hear people at my own table. Once we ordered, the pizza was delicious and at our table quickly, but in the future, I would probably go to a different location and hope for better service.

What a fun and different spot in Utah. This pizza was amazing! I loved the fusion of Indian and pizza. Service was great and I would love to go back.

Slackwater was very good. The music they played was great and the restaurant was very pretty. The pizza was really good. The crust is a lot thinner than what I'm used too, but it was still good! We also had a side of meatballs that were great. Our server Jak was very helpful and attentive.

A standard waitlist experience. Can't reserve for two people so can't plan ahead easily to arrive at same time. If you don't arrive at the exact same time you can't get on a list and end up waiting an hour for a table. Just seems like there's a better way if you already expect to be this busy and regularly are.

Solid beer selection, solid menu, solid service. No complaints on my last visit. I will definitely be visiting again.

Generally, great service, great food, variety, great drinks, and even though it's so busy, they always make you feel special.

Love how this place is always so consistent. We come here all the time! The menu has the perfect amount of variety and their seasonal / monthly specials are also incredible!
