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.

I often go to Stoneground just because it's one of the VERY few places in Salt Lake where you can be seated after 9pm at a restaurant (I think seating stops at 11 or so - call and ask). I'm always impressed. My boyfriend loves the beer, I love the pork chops. And back when I was a vegetarian, it was veggie friendly. This place is highly recommended in my book.
Pros: Pork chops, service
Cons: Many other restaurants will pale in comparison.

I had the pizza for the first time last night and it was like a fish finding water in the desert. Stoneground is a really classy place to get good pasta, beer and shoot pool, but the remarkable thing about this place for me is something that some might not appreciate; the simple but unsurpassed satisfaction of being served New York style pizza. I moved from New York to SLC six years ago and had their pizza for the first time last night and I tell you, this pizza place serves the thin, slightly crispy crusted pizza, with just right amount of sauce seasoned just the right way, topped with just the right amount of cheese that New Yorkers take for granted and that Salt Lakers might not appreciate, but that someone from New York dearly misses.
