Oh, how Utahns love their pizza. Few foods hit the spot like a warm, cheesy slice of pizza loaded with your favorite toppings. Loved by kids and adults alike, pizza is a joy to indulge in — for lunch, a late-night dinner with friends, or even for breakfast (no judging here.)
Luckily for those living along the Wasatch Front, several excellent pizzerias offer some of the very best pizza in the state.
Based on Google reviews, here are some of the best pizza places from Ogden to Provo.
Slackwater Pub & Pizzeria (4.6 stars, 2,966 reviews)
With locations in Ogden and Sandy, Slackwater Pub & Pizzeria is a favorite for locals looking to enjoy live music, local craft beer, and great pizza. If you go to the Ogden location you'll be treated to the sounds of the Ogden River passing by Slackwater's outdoor dining area.
Slackwater strives for perfection with its artisan pizzas, and the reviews reflect that.
Google reviewer Daniel M. said, "We had to wait for an hour for our table... But it was worth it. The variety in the pizza selection is amazing, and they're all fantastic from what we tried. You get an extensive beer list, live music, and a river flowing by your table. Also, they're dog-friendly. This became easily one of our favorite restaurants in Utah."

Their pizza came, but ours was misplaced somehow. Without us having to say anything the manager noticed that we'd been there a while and came to talk to us. He was so kind and went above and beyond to get us taken care of. All of our pizzas were cooked perfectly and so delicious! Had a great time relaxing there with our friends."
