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 twenty-seventh stop was: Pizza Pie Cafe
1938 Woodland Park Dr, Layton, UT 84041

BTW I forgot to take pictures of the pizza 😬

The Vibe

This place is a chain that specializes in buffet-style pizza. I don’t think anyone will disagree when I say that buffet-style pizza is not the best. We actually used to eat here pretty frequently when we were first married. We’d get these BOGO coupons in the mail, and it was a great way to get a lot of food for cheap back when adulting was still new and expensive.

That said, we don’t go there much anymore. We went there for Trey’s 5th birthday. To a 5-year-old boy, Pizza Pie Cafe is as good as it gets! It was the perfect place for the occasion.

The restaurant itself was very clean, the service was helpful and friendly, and they were on top of putting out fresh new pizzas!

The Pizza

I mean, it’s buffet-style pizza. There’s a ton of variety and they also have pasta and, the best part, dessert pizza.

The pizza fills you up quickly. The toppings are decent, the real problem is the crust. The crust is just not that good. Dipping in ranch helps.

The fresher the pizza, the better it tastes. Chris’s favorite was the spud pizza, I enjoyed the wing pizza, and the dessert that won out was the raspberry.

For buffet-style pizza, it’s pretty good.

The Score

Chris rated the cheese pizza at 4.7
Chris rated the spud pizza at 5.5
