Food & Drink Pizza Hut - Yay or nay?

[UberHere]

Not sure what it is, but I can't stand the tomato sauce at both Pizza Hut and Papa Johns. I'm good with different styles of pizzas from each though.

The sauce at papa John’s is full of sugar.

Horrendous last time I went, that was years ago but I have no urge to go back.

Before I left Vegas I used to get Peter Piper Pizza which wasn't bad. Haven't had Pizza Hut in years so can't accurately comment.

Honestly, even rural towns typically have a local place.

Those places aren’t always good though. I’ve been to some independent joints in rural towns where a Pizza Hut would’ve been preferred.

If the pan is made just right, its the best pan pizza ive ever had, but its extremely rare. Their prices are a bit silly when they match local places that are better that dont fuck up as much.

If you ask them to extra bake the pizza, it will get that crunchy texture around the pan I've noticed. It worked the last couple of times I ordered a Pizza Hut pan anyway.

Peter Piper Pizza was what we had in my area as a kid. Never heard of Chucky Cheese until I was in my 20s.

I cook my own sometimes and I’ve learned once it’s done baking, put it on high broil for 1-2 minutes. Gets it golden brown every time. Before I bake I brush the crust part of the dough in olive oil.

No reason to ever order from a chain unless you live in the boonies

I don't think I've seen an active Pizza Hut in 15 years.

I have eaten at mom and pop Mexican restaurant that clearly took over a former Pizza Hut location with that specific 80s-90s roof they all had.

I had it once for the first time about 5 years ago and it is noticeably inferior to Domino's. I don't see why you'd ever choose it over Domino's.

Parents and their friends in one booth with their pitchers of beer.

And the kids in another booth eating and running back and forth playing Altered Beast and Galaga, well talking shit to the other kids because you had collected more of the Land Before Time dolls…

My kids didnt believe me when I said you used to could eat in at Pizza Hut. They had a pretty good salad bar iirc too. I'd honestly would buy those red cups if I found some at a Thrift Store lol

 

[Versez]

A big nay

 

[HUGHPHUG]

Fuck no to the English version

Haha I was going to add the OG Red Cups, we had a few of them at home that my parents would take from time to time..

Also how every Pizza Hut had that mysterious large back room for ….?banquets? I never saw anyone eat in that back room and it was always larger than the main dinning room.

We still have an eat in pizza hut with a salad bar. It's been there forever.

I appreciate their cheesy crust option and tiny 5 dollar pizzas. Not the best but pretty good, especially by chain standards.

If I’m going to sit down and eat pizza inside of a restaurant, it’s gonna be round table, not Pizza Hut

There used to be one in Staines that only shut a couple years back. It's a Hotel Chocolat now, after Itsu tried and failed. Units around Two Rivers come and go a lot.

The last one I went to was last year, at a restaurant at a motorway service area two hours west of London. It had a salad bar and a lot of seating, but it was also quite empty. I had takeaway though, a lunch meal pepperoni pizza. It was adequate.

Pizza Hut for me is a kind of yay, but the takeaway in Staines was utter shit, and I'd put Herbies, Tops and Dominos all above them. I do like the pepperoni though.

There something about Pizza Hut that I always find delicious.

It's my favorite of the fast food pizza chains.

How about you guys?

We used to have all you can eat Pizza Huts in Australia, think there's only one left in country Victoria. Pizza pasta and ice cream with all the topping, those joints used to get trashed haha

 

[Thepaintbucket]

Pizza Hut is disgusting these days. Never seen a franchise try and self-sabotage themselves as bad as Yums brand. They single handling destroyed two of the greatest fast food brands in history. They did a number on KFC too

Living in Canada....

In the 80's as a child going to Pizza Hut I can remember the darker red booths with dark walls, cigarette smoke in the air. Usually a cocktail cab of PacMan or that overhead boxing game. A juke box where Pump Up The Volume would be blasting.

The tables would have those dim stain glass light shades over them. Dark red plastic cups for the soft drinks.

The Pan Pizza was greasy/buttery and every time my Dad couldnt' wait a few minutes and would burn the roof of his mouth and start swearing. I remember either having the greasy pizza or the pasta that had a really tart tomato sauce. It was always a treat going back then and the place was always jam packed.

In the 90's I remember the lunch buffet which was a good deal. I remember going and the cheapo people would come with tupperware and would always try to fill it up with the buffet food and then feign ignorance and suddenly couldn't speak English. In the 90's many more chains popped up so we went far less. Where I live it went from having a handful of different pizza options to dozens and dozens.

In the 00's the discount pizza chains came to Canada and totally nuked Pizza Hut. I remember in the late 00's my wife and I ordered a cheese crust pizza and one other regular pizza from Pizza Hut and the price was $55. Meanwhile I could go to Dominos or the other local Pizza Chain and get 2 XL pizzas for like $25. Pizza Hut priced itself out of the market and the $5 dollar and buffets were not enough to keep it afloat.

In the last 15 years most of our sit down restaurants of Pizza Hut closed down and most of them now are just small strip mall take out/delivery only places and I rarely if ever see advertisements or hear anyone mention Pizza Hut.
