DAVANZAS ADDRESS: 2690 Park Ave Park City, Utah (435) 649-2222
FOOD: Pizzas, Tacos, Burgers
You know those lame burger/family chains that always have the stupid Beatles posters or fake memorabilia, and whatever filling up the walls from one end of the restaurant to the other… that’s not a question it’s a statement. You KNOW those places. Well places like Davanza’s just off Main Street in Park City Utah are who these generic restaurants are trying to immolate. The difference of course is that at Davanza’s everything is genuine. Pieces collected here and there over time not bought en masse and shipped in during construction. Of special note are the hundreds of vintage beer cans that line the walls all around the restaurant. Davanza’s is the real deal. Normally you don’t associate words “greasy”, “frat-like”, or “cheap” with great food but when used to describe Davanza’s all of these are frequently used positive adjectives. I even heard someone describe it as a very ‘Cheers-like” place. I think the secret to Davanza’s
OPEN: 7 Days A Week - 11AM to 10PM
deliciousness is that they hand make everything, sauces, breads, even the burger patties. With such attention to detail it’s no wonder the food is so good. Davanza’s is pretty chill during the day, a great place to grab burgers, pizza, fries (and AMAZING fry sauce), tacos etc. I prefer the veggie burger and fries but there’s so many things on the menu I don’t have a full on go to dish at Davanza’s. Just a half block from Park City Mountain Resort’s Town Lift it is also a great spot to hit up when you are riding in the winter especially since you can get a full lunch for the price of fries at the resort. By night however Davanza’s can become a bit more of a hang-out/bar and a fun place to be for a completely different set of reasons. No matter which Davanza’s you choose to experience you will no doubt have a great time in this Park City mainstay.
