I just had to post this after seeing all these reviews that, if you read very carefully, are obviously posted by employees and friends of this joint. The reason I have to speak out is because I have tried this place and I will NEVER go back there again! Why? Well, a co-worker at Rocky Mountain Power, recommended this pizza place to me and I decided to give it a shot and took my wife and two kids there in September. My son is 13 and my little girl is 8. We wanted to dine in but that was a huge mistake! First, the service was incredibly slow and 3rd-rate. I cannot believe that this place would offer dine-in because it is so dimly-lit and the atmosphere reminds me of a shed out back on my Uncle's old homestead in Price! The chairs and tables are very cheap and not appealing at all as well as being dirty when we sat down. I really was not too upset until I got the pizza. My kids would not touch it because it was so soggy it looked like soup on cardboard. Seriously, how hard would it have been to drain a bit of juice from our veggie pizza? I guess too hard for this place. On to the next problem; the employees looked like they had not bathed or showered in weeks and their manners were atrocious! I tried really hard not to take it personally but I finally gave up when some young kid delivery driver started telling dirty jokes within hearing range of my kids. That was enough! We will never go back there again and we would recommend to you that you do not try it. You will be sorry like we are! This is definitely not a place for a family to go. I must say too, that the front of this place is a bit intimidating and dreary. The sign out front looks more apropeaux for a garage sale or a pawn shop! After our interesting experience, I got on the internet and did some research about this free wheeler place. After a bunch of leads and contacts and about 6 weeks, I got in touch with an original owner of this pizza chain from years ago who told me that free wheeler pizza was started by potheads and druggies because they could not get a delivery pizza back in the 70's or so. This guy wanted his name left out but told me he owned several of these shops and since he knows a friend of mine, he revealed to me that they used to use free wheeler pizza shops as a front to sell dope and other drugs! Great! This place is the descendent of a drug ring! Need I say more! Bruce R. Williams-SLC more

These bad reviews are spot on!! I don't eat at Free Wheeler anymore, cause it is just such a terrible experiense! The food is horrible and expensive! People there look slobby and shabby! Why do you trust the good reviews?! They could be just as bogus as Wilhelm says the bad reviews are. See for yourself--yes!! But, wait a few months when they can revert to their normal selves, dirty uniforms, really bad food, and really lazy service!!! This pizza place is so bad! more

, In order to maintain full disclosure, I have worked at Free Wheeler Pizza for several years now. I am aware of a certain feud going on between an ex employee who was fired many years ago and the owner. I have read several facebook posts in which the ex employee stated several times about letting the world know just how bad Free Wheeler Pizza is. I find it suspicious that just recently a slew of bad reviews have popped up on several review sites and unless such reviewers as mustogusto and gegorgegon or whoever it is can provide more specific details such as when their orders were placed, where it was delivered, the name (or at least the phone number) the order was placed under etc,..then it should be fairly easy to conclude that all of these "reviews" are written by the same ex employee posing as different customers relying on the anonymity sites like this and others provide. The ball is in their court now. If the information can be verified by checking through the order history and it can be determined that these are authentic reviews, then I will gladly issue an apology and retract my statements more

I have gotten more cold, watery, flavorless pizzas from Free Wheeler Pizza than any other pizza place in SLC. The phone help was rude. The delivery guys could care less. Used to be good some time ago, but now it's just seems to be a failing enterprise. I finally learned my lesson after getting pretty sick. Avoid this place like the plague!! more

Ordered the garlic rolls, a salad, and a combo pizza. Came delivered with the cheese stuck to the box and cold...ABOUT 40 MIINUTES LATE!! The pizza dough was tasteless. The toppings were minimal, to say the least. Sauce was meh! I ate about half a slice (it tasted as bad as it looked) and tried to pass it off to my roommates, but they not-so-politely declined. You see, they had been trying to eat a garlic roll and decided they were better off eating drywall. The salad? Wilted, slimy, and starting to turn. Unfortunately, too late to call them back once it finally got to me; I'll have to let it go and vow never to eat this junk again. Free Wheeler Pizza is an unholy mess!! more

I've been eating Free Wheeler Pizza since the summer of '78 and beleive it to be one of the best pizzas in Salt Lake. I worked there through most of my 20's, but still love the pizza even in my 50's. The staff and the store may be quirky, but I find them friendly, professional without being robotic and good at what they do. I may be biased because of my relationship with the business (I even owned a franchise in '85) but I have many friends and acquaintances that love their pizza too. I'm now a teacher and have taught at 6 different schools and never have run into someone who had a bad opinion about their food. more

What a sad day that slacker expressionism enters the workplace. It makes for a revolting dining experience. No hairnets, unlaundered clothing (notice I didn't say uniforms), and a could-care-less attitude. If that wasn't bad enough, read on. On to the cuisine. I use the word cuisine liberally. The pizza dough was so lacking in taste, I almost thought it was not sourdough. I ordered a combo and came away extremely dissatisfied. The cheese on top didn't adhere to the toppings, which included uncooked green peppers and rotting mushrooms. I ate one piece and had to throw the rest out. Unfortunately, or unfortunately, I could not return the pie because I did not even contemplate dining there--that's the fortunate part. Go anywhere else. Free Wheeler Pizza seems more like a prison chow line than a reputable, family dining experience. more

I always ask for a creative pizza and the cooks never disappoint. Delicious and worth every bite! Pros: delicious, variety, fresh ingredients Cons: Nothing more

the driver was rude in spite of a 30% tip could not even say thank you. Pizza was not as good as before I think they changed managers? (my old review) GREAT PIZZA TELL THEM YOU WANT A THIN LAYER OF SAUCE AND A SIDE OF PARM -TRY THE $10 TRY SOMETHING NEW SPECIAL (THE WHEEL) Pros: reasonable Cons: not as good as it used to be more

The service is quick and friendly, the pizza is good, not the best, but better than pizza chains and priced very well. more

This is the best pizza I've ever had anywhere! Better than I've had in San Francisco, Chicago, LA, or even in cruise ships! You get what you pay for. Thick, sourdough crusts with more than 70 toppings! Their menu offers much more than a large pepperoni, but makes the basics taste like new! hey aren't on 400 South anymore; so if you want the best pizza ever, go to the Freewheeler in Salt Lake. The one in Sugarhouse is something completely seperate, and not recommended! more
