FC/OT: Pizza Hut is back!
- Thread starter Midnighter
- Start date
The ingredients and quality of the pizza was dumbed down 20 years ago to compete with the low-cost chains. Bring back all of the above, AND the original quality and I will return. Otherwise, there's just too many good independent pizza shops to mess with low quality PH pizza.
When I worked at Pizza Hut in circa 2001, the ingredients were actually good. The dough was all fresh, the veggies were all cut fresh and the meats were good too. Not sure what it’s like now, but I have no ill will toward the hut I grew up on.
I thought you were talking about Pizza the Hutt
I always liked pizza hut but I prefer to support the local shops.
I remember they used to ask if you wanted to sit in the smoking or non-smoking section…which was divided by a half wall.
It’s for kids and families guys. Not competing with the boutique pizza shops.
Little Caesars was great when they had the Crazy 8s, original Meat Lovers and there was another I don't remember. They went to hell after bankruptcy. Now it's hard to get a decent pizza there.
Oh it’s total sh*t now. It’s so cheap though there are lines out the door at the one in Sterling VA. We stopped at one coming back from Florida and I hadn’t been to one since the 90s and it wasn’t anything at all like I remember. It was round pizza (not square) and no crazy bread. It was so bad we tossed it and went to Burger King (limited options off of 95).
Ok old people. Which was better, Pizza Hut, in the 1970’s and 1980’s on atherton, Westerly parkway high way pizza or village inn pizza on north atherton.
Little Caesars was always absolute trash pizza. Lowest of the low. Only an option if there was nothing else around and you could only dig up change out of your sofa.
Pizza Hut only existed for the all you can eat buffet, and the free pizza when you read X amount of books in elementary school.
Without the all you can eat buffet (is that part of the deal?), this is unlikely to fly.

I have driven from Pittsburgh to State College and back, the same day, JUST to get a square-cut Sicilian pie at HIWAY PIZZA! I never set foot on campus. The pizza alone was worth the trip.
I remember back when a family could get a pitcher of Pepsi + the red cups with their pizza. (Were there free refills of the pitcher? As a kid, I didn’t have that aspect on my radar.)
I also remember when my sister was maybe 4 years old and I was about 8, said pitcher and a piping hot pizza were laid out on the table in front of our family. My sister made a quick grab for a slice with the impulsivity of.4-year-old with ADHD (then undiagnosed), slid her fingers right into the still-volcanic cheese and sauce, and cried out in pain.
Before Mom could even react, I calmly reached out and dunked my sister’s hand into the ice cold pitcher of Pepsi. Problem solved with quiet unassuming Gen X efficiency.

I used to work at round pie and cut pie. That cut pie slice was awesome!!
Excellent! They had a winning formula that took me there for lunch and many family dinners. The salad bar and the personal pan pizzas were favorites of mine.
They were one of the many victims of corporate take overs that led to a burden of debt that people tried to pay off by cutting costs from the winning formula. That never ends well.

Don’t hate me, but the Pizza Hut pan pizza with cupped pepperoni’s and extra soybean oil in the pan is still the best tasting pizza in the industry. Sometimes the will not add extra soybean oil though for some reason.
maybe in the NE, but finding a good quality local place down here is next to impossible
I could not love this more. On a side note, you should be allowed to have as much soybean oil as your heart desires.
Do you guys remember when Wendy’s had the baked potato bar?
Yeah, NoVa is a pizza wasteland. There are a few decent spots but not like when I visit the in-laws in Bucks Co - can throw a rock and hit a good pizza/hoagie/cheesesteak place . Their issue is lack of good hot wings though…

I honestly think it is the water and it making for a good crust. I find pizza in the south to be bad overall.
VIP hands down. Had a huge basement bar w/ pinball and pool tables.
Pizza Hut was once the largest consumer of kale in the country.
Had a shock when we first moved to Jackson MS. Bought the first pizza from a local popular shop and their regular sauce was BBQ. Not bad but totally unexpected. Things changed soon after when dominos moved in.
Pizza Hut went to hell when they went to frozen dough, poor quality ingredients, and delivery over eat in.
Oh man, had forgotten about Village Inn Pizza. That was some good stuff. Highway on Westerly was good too. Damn, now you’ve got me craving!
Not that it’s good pizza by any absolute standard, but I always loved Lost Dog Cafe. I can’t believe they put one up on Columbia Pike in my old neighborhood. Good thing I moved to Chicago - I’d be 450 pounds. Only thing that ever came close to that was when we had a middle eastern bakery on basically the same corner for a few years. Saved me from running to Samadi Sweets in Bailey’s Crossroads.
I grew up in Lower Bucks County. You are right on all counts.
