This is the second food review I have done for Sunny's Pizza... They have evolved into more than an ordinary pizza joint... Even though there wasn't anything ordinary about them before...

The Mini Mushroom, Olive and Sausage Pizza
My husband and I went over for dinner and I ordered the mini mushrooms, black olive and sausage pizza. I was expecting it to be like the personal pan pizza from Pizza Hut... OH not even close...

The pizza was about 8 slices of oooey gooey goodness... It was enough for two people easily... And what is nice is that it was only 5 bucks... The crust is hand tossed and the ingredients are fresh... What was nice about the pizza is that it wasn't dripping with oil and the crust was crunchy... It was perfectly done!

My husband had the Chicken Alfredo... We were expecting it to be a decent sized plate of pasta... OH not even close again... It was enough to feed a couple people too... My husband loved it... It was perfectly browned to perfection and the cheese was perfect also... They didn't skimp on the ingredients... My husband had to take his to go and he had enough left over for another meal. If you decide to order the Hamburger, Fries and Drink special, you will notice that the fries aren't your typical fries either... This will be an item I will try the next time I go there...
Biscuits and Gravy
They serve breakfast as well... So we had to give that a whirl... The food is all freshly made and the biscuits and gravy were excellent... My husband is not a big fan of hash-browns... But what he said was that their hashbrowns tasted like what I make... When I make hash-browns, I shred them into the pan... I never use frozen potatoes... He enjoyed his breakfast...

Let me warn you though... If you are expecting your food out in a few minutes, you might as well go to McDonalds... This place is run by couple guys who take pride in serving fresh food and they don't do it at a speedy pace... They want it done right and they want you to be happy with your food... You pay for what you get and what you get here is good homemade food... They also deliver to the area around Veyo... They are the only place I know of that does this... Oh and BTW... They serve Pepsi products... A major plus in my book...
Chicken Alfredo
Overall Experience: This is one of the places that you have to drive a ways to get too, but it's worth the drive... When you walk into the place it isn't anything fancy... It is the kind of place you would expect to find in a small town... What set's them apart is this place is in a small town, but they offer big city taste...You won't go wrong when going to Sunny's Pizza... You will not go away hungry...

Lin's Marketplace - Bringing Families Together

We did a food review at the request of some of our readers.... Lin's Marketplace located at 1930 West Sunset Blvd was awesome when it came to helping us put together a great meal at a great price. This is what one of our reviewers had to say about the Cheesy Tortellini Dish:

Importance of Spending time together as a family: 

Family Dinner from 1950's
Bonding: A typical scene from the Fifties. A family sits down to a meal and, in the absence of TVs and mobiles, talks through family issues with each other Psychologist Dr Pat Spungin, a parenting expert, said a family should aim to spend at least 20 minutes at the table to help foster meaningful conversations.

She said there were three phases to a meal, all equally important. In the first, communication is mostly practical as the cooking is finished and everyone sits down. Then comes settling in, where the family members exchange small talk.

The final phase is "sweet talk", which Dr Spungin says is crucial to building relationships.Families need to spend significant time together to enjoy in-depth conversations and share their experiences, stories and worries.


Reviewer One Feedback: 
The aroma when I walked into the house hit me strong. The meal had been cooking all day long. When I arrived home there were only a few items left that needed to be added in. It was simple to complete for my busy schedule. My husband, not normally a pasta lover, loved the taste and wanted more he even wants for me to make the meal again. My three year old who normally does not want seconds and doesn't usually eat all of his food had all of the food polished off and requested a second plate. The meal overall was delicious, easy and something that I would definitely make again and soon.
Reviewer Two Feedback: 
Our family loved this dish and the idea that everything is in one bag. I never tried the Western Family brand and it was just as good if not better then some of the name brand items. Loved the value and flavors. I am hooked on this deal. 

Every Monday they offer a special where you can pick up all the ingredients at a discounted price. You are given the recipe and what it takes to cook it up right. They have made it that simple. This is this Monday's dinner...


Lin's Marketplace is one of those stores that is above the rest. Not only are you treated like family, the store is clean and organized. When they say Only the Best, they go by that... Some of the great things about Lin's is that they offer custom made sandwiches in the Service Deli... All the baked goods are made on the spot, not shipped in and frozen. Their store brand is Western Family and they stand behind that brand... Something else that may be of interest to others... Over by the pharmacy they have a section of healthy food options and they have a huge offering of Gluten Free foods...

When it comes to customer service they exceed in that area... The management team of Lin's Marketplace makes it a point to be honest and treat people with respect... If you have a problem, you can talk to any of the management team and they will help you out... 

  • Produce FREEbee's! Saturday Only from 7:00am to 11:00am Purchase $15.00 of produce & receive Plenty of fresh produce. Plenty of choices & Plenty of FREE items!

Every third Saturday they offer fun activities in the store... I'm not sure what time they have Kid's Club, but the leader of it is Sherri... 
  • Non Profits: Lin's Marketplace offers something that many of the other stores don't. If you are a non-profit you can talk to the store and they will allow you to get the word out about what you do, fundraiser and raise awareness from the front porch... 
  • Pharmacy: You can trust their professional pharmacy team to provide you with the correct prescription at the right price.
  • Specialty Orders: Lin's carries thousands of items to meet your needs.However, if you have a favorite product that they don't have on hand, you can typically find it in their special order section. Click the link below to try Lin's online special order service
  • Online Shopping List: One little perk I like is that they offer on their website the ability to make up your shopping list... You can click on the items from the flyer, add it to your list and you can add items that aren't in the ads... I love this feature... Then I can print it up and I have what I need...

Oh my goodness... How to even begin with this food review? If you like pies, the drive out to Veyo Pies in Veyo Utah is more than worth the trip... On their website this is how they described their wonderful pie place in Veyo... Veyo Pies is a full line bakery located in Veyo, UT that has evolved from over 25 years of pie making experience! They offer a wide selection of Cream Pies, Fruit Pies, and Pastries. Our dough is made from scratch, hand rolled, and wonderfully flaky.

When I went in I ordered the Coconut Cream Pie... There is a huge variety, but since I was the one picking out, I got my favorite... You can't go wrong when you go into Veyo Pies... Never have I had bad service or a yucky pie, donuts or coffee... One nice perk too is that if you don't want to buy a whole pie, you can get your favorite by the slice...  

My piece of coconut cream pie was the perfect balance of sweetness and cream... You can tell that they make their own crusts... They are perfectly flaky and not mushy... I have gotten pies where the bottoms are all nasty and mushy and that is just gross... 
I may even venture into Veyo Pies during Christmas and try one of their homemade mince meat pies... I can't stand mince meat... But after hearing theirs is homemade and not from the jar I may give one slice a try... 

I brought a Mountain Berry to my friend since she and her husband will drive to Veyo just for the pies at Veyo Pies... I asked her how her pie was and she seemed very pleased... I shared a couple pieces of my coconut cream with her as well... My husband was wondering where his pie was at... He was on the road, so guess his piece is gone... Good thing Veyo pies is just down the street from my house... Makes it really nice... 

If you decide you want an awesome pie and want to find Veyo Pies, you can't miss it... Veyo is located about 15 to 20 miles Northwest of St. George on SR 18 on the left hand side... They have a huge red sign out front that you can't miss... If you miss it, then there may be a problem... 

They posted this on their website for your information... We do not bake every item on our menu everyday. Please call to find out if we have the pie you want.  Our business is doing great thanks to you, our customers! To place orders please call us at 435-574-2132. For large or special orders we will appreciate it greatly if you place an order at LEAST 1 day ahead of the pick up time! They are also taking orders for Thanksgiving and the deadline to get your orders in are November 15th...
