About
Savoring fine Italian fare in a life-size snow globe sounds like something from a fairy tale, but it's a reality at the Cafe Galleria! This restaurant offers intimate meals in what they call Alpenglobe dining areas. These unique structures are glass-encased, heated, and well-lit for an unforgettable dining experience.
Aside from the Alpenglobes, there's the cafe built in 1898 and recently renovated in 2020. It serves what they call "rustic Italian" and is easy to find on Midway's Main Street.
The establishment's dedication to quality and tradition began with its founder, Michael Donahue. He was inspired by his travels through Italy, taken by the wood-fired pizzas in the small, family-owned pizzerias. He opened Cafe Galleria to replicate these eateries, and the rest, as they say, is mouthwatering history.
As you can tell, this isn't your average pizza joint. The attention to detail is evident in the hand-stretched dough, the locally sourced ingredients, and the wood-fired oven.
Beyond pizza, they offer traditional fares like lasagna, Caprese salad, and twists on steaks, salmon, and chicken. You'll find something for everyone, making it ideal after a day at Wasatch Mountain State Park.
Whether you dine in an Alpenglobe or the quaint cottage, Cafe Galleria takes pride in creating a welcoming atmosphere for its patrons. And in the summer, dine al fresco under the twinkling lights of their beautiful patio.
Cafe Galleria brings a slice of the Italian countryside to the Heber City area. This is where friends, family, and foodies come to enjoy a meal crafted with love and served with care.

Cafe Galleria: Menu & Drinks
One of the must-try items on the menu is their gourmet Margherita pizza. This isn't your run-of-the-mill Margherita. The dough is crispy on the outside yet tender and airy inside. It's the perfect base for the fresh, bright flavors of tomato sauce, basil, and high-quality mozzarella. It's a symphony of simplicity, where each ingredient gets its moment in the spotlight.
It also serves hearty breakfasts, perfect for starting your day exploring nearby Memorial Hill or Huber Grove. The Cast Iron Skillet meals showcase potatoes, two eggs, and any three toppings from an array of options.
Lunch crowds will marvel at the various salads available and the bagel sandwiches. The Italian Sausage sandwich is a filling meal with an Italian sausage patty, roasted peppers and onions, and marinara sauce. Cheddar and parmesan cheese are melted on this mountain of deliciousness to round it all out.
Regarding beverages, it has an impressive wine list offering drinks by the glass or bottle. Mimosas are available as are on tap and bottled beers and ciders.
