Did Michael Jordan really get food poisoning before Game 5 of the 1997 NBA Finals? Man who says he made the pizza says don’t blame him — he even named his son after the Chicago Bulls star

Chicago got some answers on the “poisoned pizza” front, and they were about as satisfying as the extra-pepperoni thin crust that Michael Jordan ordered the night before his legendary performance in Game 5 of the 1997 NBA Finals.

Fite said he was the assistant manager of the Park City Pizza Hut that fed Jordan’s desires around 10 p.m. He said he washed his hands, personally constructed the pizza and hand-delivered it.

“I will make the pizza because I don’t want any of you doing anything to it,” Fife said he told the other employees in the store.
