Packing for Adventure

Chris turned 40 at the end of 2025, and I wanted to do something special without throwing a big party that he wouldn’t appreciate. So I gave him what I knew he’d appreciate the most: 40 slices of pizza!

Our second stop was: Pizza Man
1958 N 400 E St, Ogden, UT 84414

Pizza Man is another familiar favorite of ours. It’s way out in North Ogden, but worth the drive. Chris grew up in the area and still proudly has their phone number memorized.

We get cheese bread if it’s available whenever wherever. It is rare for us to select regular breadsticks if cheese can possibly be involved. Pizza Man is a rare situation where Chris prefers the regular Garlic Bread Twists. I think he’s crazy and I prefer the Mozza Bread Twists. The Garlic Bread Twists that Chris loves are definitely delicious, don’t get me wrong. Especially dipped in their ranch. I guess it’s better this way, because he orders the Garlic bread twists for himself, and I get my very own batch of Mozza bread twists. Though now we share with our kiddos, we’re a divided family. Chris shares the Garlic Bread Twists with Mae, and I share the Mozza Bread Twists with Trey.

Chris’s favorite pizza is the Italian, which comes with pepperoni, mushrooms, and black olives, but he usually asks them to add green olives as well. I really enjoy just their plain pepperoni.

The pizza is somewhat unique as you can’t really assign it to the New York or Chicago or other pizza styles. The closest would maybe be like Detroit-style, but it’s not really the same. It’s made in a cast-iron skillet, so I guess maybe it’s just pan pizza. No matter what it’s official pizza style is, it’s a top contender in Utah.

Chris rated his Italian pizza a 8.6 – pretty amazing score, especially for takeout pizza!!
