locals first: the lucky slice

it's no secret that my mister and i love pizza.  ogden pizzeria will always have our heart, and slackwater pub and pizzeria will always be the place we (i)  go when we (i) want more than just a great combination pizza.  well now in the mix of it all is the lucky slice.  it's on my favorite ogden street being put with a bunch of my other favorite restaurants. 

before gordon's friend brandon and his wife left for dc for the summer we took them to the lucky slice.  it was all of our first experience eating there.  i found out i like bleu cheese and bacon (not canadian bacon, but real breakfast bacon) on a pizza isn't as gross as it sounds.

this place has the "already famous" pizza combinations but also has some "almost famous" choices as well.  we tried two "almost famous" pizzas: the dub all-star and bleu moon.  the dub all-star was my favorite of the two, although both were good.  we also had their cheese bread, but only because they made an extra order and charged us half price (and we were starving and it was ready now!).  they have other menu items i would like to try such as a variety of panini's, wings, and salads (or rabbit food...which is what they call it but also what gordon calls it too).  we'll go back to try more things for sure.
the only downside is that this place is tiny, but the atmosphere is hip and the music was hoppin'.  i'd recommend it to other pizza lovers.  and not because the owner is an ex co-worker of gordons who quit working with him to achieve his food dreams (although that does help).  it's pretty yummy.  and open late on the weekends (til 2am!).

We were near your house (James's sister's house on 24th and Custer) just last week and she brought us SlackWater Pizza. It was quite earthy and different, but really, really good. We shared about 4 or 5 different kinds. I'll have to remember these other places, too.
