Pizza for the whole family

It can be hard to find a meal that pleases every member of the family. But who doesn’t love pizza?! Warm up with the kids at Red Banjo Pizza Parlour with a few slices of cheesy goodness. Red Banjo is the longest running family-owned business in Park City. The Toly family has been making hand-tossed pizzas on Main Street since 1962. Try the local favorite, the Red Banjo Special, topped with Canadian bacon, pepperoni, beef, sausage, onions, fresh mushrooms, black olives and green peppers. Squeeze a lemon over your slice for a tangy twist.

Ice cream for the kids

No matter the temperature outside kids love ice cream, especially at Java Cow on Main Street. Dig into a scoop of Zowy Cowy (vanilla ice cream with toffee, dark chocolate chunks and a caramel ribbon) or one of their numerous other wacky or traditional flavors. Looking for something warm? Order one of their sweet or savory crepes with a hot chocolate (or one of their specialty coffees, for the grown-ups). Decked out with spotted cow decor, you can purchase all things cow-related and kitschy from their gift shop.

  1. That buffet brunch looks lovely, but I also love the decor of River Horse on Main! Fun article!

  2. This place looks so dreamy for food, from the lights to the horses to the desserts! I’ve been wanting to go to Utah with our whole family, so I’ll need to add Park City to the list!

  3. These all sound fantastic but I think I’d have to go for the brunch buffet so I can make it last as long as possible! 🙂

  4. These all appeal if I’m honest! But I’d have to go for the brunch as top of my list as it’s probably my favourite meal – I love all the choices and never really do anything like it at home. I always think of it as a holiday treat.

    1. Yes, there’s something that feels so decadent about a brunch buffet…especially when it’s at the Stein Eriksen Lodge!

  5. There are so many restaurants to choose from in Park City! It’s good to have a narrower list of local places to choose from. We are headed for Deer Valley’s Seafood Buffet this weekend. My husband has been wanting to try it for years.
