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 fifteenth stop was: Pizza Hut
4789 Harrison Blvd, Ogden, UT 84403
Tragic Downfall
Pizza Hut is just not what it used to be. That seems to be true of many old favorites, which begs the question of: Is my adult palate just so much more sophisticated than it used to be? Or has Pizza Hut really gone downhill this much?
As a kid, Pizza Hut was the unattainable ideal – it was just too expensive. Then when they came out with Stuffed Crust? There was nothing better! Pizza Hut was the first to bring stuffed crust to the masses, back in 1995.
The P’zone
When me and Chris were first dating, he worked within walking distance of this Pizza Hut, and he’d often get a P’zone on his lunch break. He loved those P’zones and he was devastated when they were removed from the menu. Then sometime around 2019 ish, Pizza Hut brought them back! Chris was like a kid at Christmas – I have rarely seen him so excited. It was really sad watching him eagerly taste the long-awaited P’zone just to see his dreams dashed when it wasn’t made with the same quality and love that it was back in 2012 ish.
Anyway, so it was a hard sell bringing Chris to Pizza Hut. He had felt betrayed and didn’t care to ever return – but I felt like if he was going to be a serious pizza rater, he needed to rate the OG Stuffed Crust Pizza.
Harrison Blvd Location
This particular location does not get a lot of love on Google Maps reviews, so we came expecting the worst. As far as the location goes though, the drive thru services was convenient and quick, and the employee who helped us out through the window was very nice.
The Pizza
We ordered the Garlic Cheese Sticks to start – they were nothing special. We got one Stuffed Crust pizza with half cheese and half pepperoni. We ordered it with extra cheese – and by the way, no need to do that. There was so much cheese it reminded me of A Goofy Movie pizza. We also ordered the original pan pizza with ham and pineapple.
The cheese itself was rubbery and weird and tasted cheap, made worse by the fact that there was so much of it. The sauce is also just not good. I did actually like the pepperoni itself, not all pepperoni is created equal. Chris much preferred the Hawaiian pizza as he said the toppings masked the taste of the weird sauce and cheese.
The Score
Chris was unimpressed and borderline angry as he gave his score. Though I didn’t think it was as bad as Chris did, I will agree it’s the worst pizza we’ve had in a while.
Chris rated his pizza a 4.7, the lowest score he’s ever given.
It really is a tragic downfall. As a kid, I never dreamed I’d see the day when Little Caesar’s would outpizza the Hut.
