Profile Draft
Centro Woodfired Pizzeria has run on Center Street in downtown Cedar City since 2012, when first-time restaurant owner Mark Baruffi opened a Neapolitan-style wood-fired pizza concept in a college town that had not yet had one. The kitchen is built around a wood-burning oven, the dough is made in house, and the menu stays short — pizza, salads, a few small plates. Centro has become a stop for Utah Shakespeare Festival travelers and is one of Cedar City's most-reviewed restaurants.
For 435 Alliance, Centro is a long-established, single-location independent in Cedar City — useful for hitting the geography target outside St. George.
