Editorial Review for Stoneground – by Andrew Haley
The Scene
Stoneground occupies a spacious second floor opposite the downtown library. It has a chic, urban feel, with stainless steel and exposed cement, beautiful pool tables and a counter overlooking the street. Family-owned by New York transplants, it's slowly attracting a devoted clientele of families and urban upstarts.
The Food
For an appetizer, try bruschetta--toasted baguette slices topped with asiago cheese, basil, tomatoes and balsamic vinegar. It serves some of the best pizza around--large, New York-style pizzas come with fresh, creative toppings; the chevre forest-mushroom pie is fantastic. Pastas are also good choices. The penne con cognac, a large serving of pasta topped with rich cream sauce, prosciutto and mushrooms, is hearty and delicious.

Our party of 11 had made a prior reservation. The restaurant was fairly busy with about 60-70 people. As n oted on the table tent there would be approximately 10 minutes between servings when busy. Nevertheless, after an h our and a half our group had only been served 3 pieces of pizza ($12.99 +$2.90 tip included). When we requested more pizza and noted our concern to the manager he came to the table and didn't believe us because his server had made 10 passes and initialed each pass. Well he might have made 10 passes but with each pizza only serving 10-12 slices and about 70 people seated in the restaurant...you can do the math. No apologies, no understanding or compassion. I have been in the business for over 35 years and I was appalled. Their bio states that the owner moved from New York to Salt Lake City, well he should go back to New York if that is his idea of customer service. We do not recommend this restaurant and will not be returning. I teach Hospitality Management and Culinary Arts and have yet another example of poor Hospitality.
Pros: Interesting pizza combinations
Cons: The poorest sesrvice I have experienced in twenty years

Visiting Salt Lake City and my wife wanted a good pizza to enjoy in our hotel room instead of getting out in the bad weather. Found Stoneground on the internet. Called them and learned they do not deliver...no problem. Drove there on a Sunday night to get a pizza to go...they would not sell me one. Said Sunday night was only for dine in....WHAT!! They actually declined to sell me a pizza! I am 53 and travel quite a bit on business and pleasure...have never heard of such nonsense..
