The company and conversation was set this lunch break at Pepper's Pita in Downtown Salt Lake, just west of Main on 300 South. The space is small but not crowded; inviting. There were a mix of people, some in business attire and others with hardhats and reflective vests. There was not a lot of time to people watch, however, because our order was prepared very quickly.
I ordered the wheat pita with mozzarella, tomato, and pesto. The biggest reason I selected it off the menu was to see how it would stand up to a similar sandwich made by the beautiful and talented Mrs. Lloyd. It was not as good as her homemade, but yummy nonetheless.
Balance is the best thing my sandwich had going taste-wise. The cheese was not cut too thick, thus overpowering the tomato and pesto. I could taste the tomato, but like the cheese, it did not take over. The pesto was a nice complement to the whole.
Appearance it lacked. It came out on a small pizza pan, with a plastic cup of passable coleslaw, the bread was brown and looked from the top and the side like a tortilla cut in half then stacked on itself. The sandwich was only about a half inch tall, and none of the fixin's were visible, without picking it up first. It was kind of like looking at a half of a frisbee.
We don't go to a place like Pepper's Pita for the look of the food, but the taste and ability to eat between court and court, and other meetings. The food was good and just right for busy people in need of food. I recommend it.
