The Pizza Factory

Pizzeria in Ancestor Square, opened on 20 August 1979 by Bill Randall and Bill Kringlen and one of the oldest restaurants still trading in St. George.

The brand began in Cedar City in 1974, after a group of friends on a southern Utah ski trip found there was no pizza parlour in the region. Custom-built pizzas with several crusts, calzones and a salad bar remain the format.

The wider picture

The Pizza Factory began in Cedar City in 1974 after a group of friends on a southern Utah ski trip discovered there was nowhere in the region to get a pizza — a plausible complaint at the time, when the area's population was a fraction of today's. The St. George shop opened in Ancestor Square on 20 August 1979 and is among the oldest restaurants still trading in the city. Ancestor Square occupies the original 1860s townsite corner.
