Once again, on a stay in Cedar City, Utah, en route home from Colorado, my wife and I dined at Centro Woodfired Pizzeria. The gourmet pizzas are amazing. This is Utah, but I was able to get an outstanding 9 percent IPA beer (Squatters Hop Rising Double IPA) brewed in Salt Lake City. Who knew?
Centro has expanded since the last time we passed through Cedar City and that was only a year ago. Our favorite pizza on the menu is the fennel sausage for $13. It has hand-crushed tomato sauce, house-made fennel sausage, aged and smoked mozzarella and Parmigiano-Reggiano. Another of our favorites is the Margherita pizza for $10. This time around we had half fennel and half of a special classic, with garlic, that was recommended by our waiter, Chris.
Centro also has a wonderful bruschetta for $5. House made garlic crosstini topped with fresh chopped tomato and basil and finished with a balsamic reduction.
Cedar City is close to Bryce Canyon and Zion national parks, Cedar Breaks National Monument and Brian Head ski resort.
Centro Woodfired Pizzeria is at 50 W. University Blvd. (Center St.). It is open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Closed Sundays. Phone: (435) 867-8123 or go to www.facebook.com/CentroPizzeria.
