I made it to 13. Sinful Sunday at Stoneground

Wow, so I thought I would eat more, but afterwards I had planned on eating less. I made it to lucky 13 - but that number doesn't include all of the pizza I ate off of my fiance's plate, an amount that I'm sure would've pushed the final count over the 20 slice mark.

But we're not here to brag... no indeed. We are here to discuss the quality of both pizza, and the cost as compared to the pizza.

Now what I'm talking about here is called "Sinful Sunday" and its an all you can eat pizza event that happens every Sunday at Stoneground (400 south 235 east, SLC, UT). What you get are unlimited salad and slices of totally random pizza for $12 (it used to be $9.95), drinks are extra.

I have got to say that I enjoyed it with a few exceptions:
1) The pizza cooks were thinking in terms of Chicken all night long - as will be evidenced by my slice descriptions.
2) Not much by way of "traditional" fare that came our way.
3) It totally matters where you sit.
4) You should speak up if you have a request.

The System:
You take a seat and relax, enjoy a salad and some drink and company; they will bring a multitude of pizzas by your table for you to accept or decline. Cool way to run a buffet - it keeps the hogs outta the way, and you see marginally lest wasted food.

Lets list the pizza's that came by my table and what I thought of them:
1) Chicken pesto - It was OK - I don't care much for their pesto. NOT-WORTHY!
2) Chicken and Goat Cheese - I liked this one, the goat cheese wasn't too overwhelming and the sauce brought it all together. WORTHY!
3) Sausage and Black Olive - Although I don't care for black olives, the sausage was good and perhaps this slice will get a better rating due to the fact that it was the first "traditional fare" we saw. WORTHY!
4) Veggie with Pesto - Again, I don't like their pesto (dry), but with all of the veggies, it was delicious! WORTHY!
5) Hawaiian - Well... good pineapple, but not so good ham, it made the sauce taste odd. NOT-WORTHY!
6) Hawaiian with Jalapeno - Even the jalapeno couldn't save this one. (note: try a jalapeno and pineapple pizza sometime, very good) NOT-WORTHY!
7) Chipotle BBQ Chicken - This was the best slice of the night. Perfect BBQ sauce, not too tangy, not too spicy, not too sweet. DELICIOUS!!!
8) Meatball with Red Onion on a vegetable tomato base sauce - The sauce was crazy weird; I'm not sure whether I liked the sauce 100% or not, but it was good. WORTHY!
9) Chicken Jalapeno and Red Onion on a White Cheese sauce (bechamel cheese sauce) - This one was totally awesome - the sauce was to die for. Great mix of Jalapeno on that pie! DELICIOUS!!!
10) Chicken and Artichoke Hearts - M'eh, it was a little bland, the artichokes weren't very special - nothing to write home about. NOT-WORTHY!
11) Pepperoni Sausage on a BBQ base sauce - This was totally awesome as well - whats the deal with their non-traditional sauces being so much better than their regular fares?!?!? I would eat this twice on Sunday. DELICIOUS!!!
12) Kalamata Olive and Veggies - I don't like olives so I skipped this one. The wifey said it was good though so it gets a: WORTHY! rating.
13) Fresh Mozzarella Roasted Garlic Tomato and Basil - Excellent take on the margarita pie. I found it to be the best roasted garlic I've had in quite sometime. Do it up when you're there. DELICIOUS!!!
14) Meatball Mushroom and Sweet Peppers - I didn't care much for the sweet peppers (I may have been too full at this point) but the meatballs were good. WORTHY!

It should be noted that a second and a third Hawaiian pizza came by our table that night, which we declined. Also, we didn't see a single regular Pepperoni pizza come by us all night - we were there for 1.5 hours or so - although we did see a plain cheese come by as we were getting up to leave.

Another disappointing note: the "server" wasn't very on it - he seemed like he was in a "up all night partying" phase - which I can understand as it was a Sunday and all, but come on dude, we asked you for water 10 times and you kept bringing us Cokes and Arnold Palmers!

In the end I look forward to doing this again, but I will have to wait until I work this new found weight in my belly off.

ADIOS!
