What could have driven an 18-year-old to travel 450 miles to deliver a stranger two pizzas—in the middle of the night?

The stranger, Rich Morgan, was a regular customer of Steve’s Pizza in Battle Creek, Michigan, some 25 years ago. Rich and his wife, Julie, loved the pizza there and haven’t found better pizza since.
