Pizza Hut Turns 50

Hi, This is my first post on here and I love this site. I think that Pizza Hut sucks. I have had it in NY, CT, FL, Budapest and Costa Rica - which was by far the WORST! Now, I have not come here to complain yet to share with you all my thoughts...Pizza Hut survives in areas like CT/NY where there is great pizza b/c it's family friendly, they have 'deals'/coupons, etc. There's this little pizza chain though down south called CiCi's - perhaps you've heard of it??? It's a pizza buffet - all you can eat and made to order. Now, I will never eat at a Pizza Hut again but you can be sure that as a NY native I will go to my local pizzerias and if I'm ever down south again I will frequent a CiCi's....which should hopefully, one day replace Pizza Hut. Wanna check it out: www.cicispizza.com - they've started with commercials in NY but no actual restaurants...one day!
Thanks.

Pizza Hut Turns 50

Good lord. The debate of Pizza Hut vs. Papa John's just makes me cry. I don't think there's a point on the continental US map that's not within driving distance of a good mom & pop pizza shop. The reason Papa John gives you garlic butter & pepperoncini is to cover up for their terrible pizza, and Pizza Hut is no better. What it comes down to is what Adam wrote in the open: the biggest deal isn't that chain pizza generally sucks, it's the utter bastardization of one of the most wonderful culinary treats known to man.

Pizza Hut Turns 50

Pizza Hut is not what it used to be. Growing up, it was my 2nd favorite, only following a local pizzaria. Was fortunate to be able to make my own pizzas at the Hut when I worked there in the early eighties. Then something happened. The quality I was used to evaporated when they did away with the manual ovens and started using those chain driven automatic ones. Sure, sometimes a pizza would get a little extra crispy the old way, but it still tasted great! Not any more.
I will occasionally get a pizza from them, but it is becoming more and more seldom as I search for another excellent thin and crispy pizza provider. I'm to the point where I prefer DiGiorno's to Pizza Hut. :-(
