End of an Era...Pizza Hut Name Change

[Hector]

That's a place I never understood the concept of. What's so different between them and walking into a local grocery store and doing the same thing?

For one thing...it tastes much better than frozen pizza...you get fresh dough...and the crust actually rises...lol.

Also...all frozen pizzas are tiny...get the Papa Murphy's Chicago style and you'll see...that sucker weighs like five pounds...I kid you not...and has tons of toppings...and cheap...under $15 for their biggest one...and if you have a coupon...$13 out the door.

But I don't sweat it...like I said...I also make homemade pizzas...I'm getting better and better each time.

I got making the dough-making process down pretty good...before I apply the yeast...I like to add rosemary and basil into the flour mixture....comes out tasting pretty awesome.

One of these days...I'm going to take pictures of my pizza-making.

My comment was nothing personal
Everybody likes what they like ... and that's cool

Quite frankly, all those pizzas are good, but if I'm on a military trip staying in a hotel (especially after 20 years..), I just order a Little Ceasars or Dominos, with a cold one and surf cable..

Just one of my 'guilty pleasures' in life.

PIZZA BY THE SIGNS

Did you know that your Sun Sign influences how you like your pizza? Each Sign has a unique approach to eating this popular food -- what's your style?

Aries:
You want your pizza to go, with extra hot peppers.

Taurus:
You order one with everything on it, and then another in case you're still hungry.

Gemini:
You like half mushroom and half olives but are usually too busy chatting with the waiter or delivery person to eat it.

Cancer:
You bake your own, making the dough from scratch and using tomatoes from your garden.

Leo:
You prefer gourmet pizza from trendy Italian places, but you only eat a piece so that your stomach still looks flat in your fitted jeans.

Virgo:
You order plain cheese pizza and request extra napkins for blotting the grease.

Libra:
You order one all-meat and one all-veggie because you can't decide which one you want.

Scorpio:
You get your pizza with pineapple, anchovies and secret sauce -- and you also manage to get the delivery person's phone number.

Sagittarius:
A Brazilian or Mexican pizza that can be put into an environmentally-friendly to-go box works for you.

Capricorn:
You like any pizza that can be folded calzone-style so that you can eat while you work.

Aquarius:
Mmmmm … doesn't a wheat-free pizza with soy cheese topped with organic vegetables sound delicious?

Pisces:
You get lost on the way to the pizza shop and end up at a Thai restaurant instead.

As a Gemini, if I was ordering a half and half it'd be pepperoni and sausage...or maybe pepperoni and mushrooms.....my split personality can't decide.

i would die for real pizza...but sadly, im here in Ok with the pizza chains...(pizza hut, mazzios, cici's)....sigh...

cici's the all you can eat for $5, haven't tried that yet,but I will next time I visit Orlando

[bizzaro megomauler]

People that like Pizza Hut and ANY other chain pizza place should come visit NJ/NY and have some nice mom & pop pizza from a place called Vitos, Sals, Ginos, Antonys, Vinnys etc... Then you'll know what REAL pizza suppose to taste like

don't forget "Original Ray's"

now they went and ruined a perfectly good mel brooks gag.....

TRUST ME
the name will go back to "Pizza Hut" eventually.

This outfit is owned by Pepsi, who also own Kentucky fried Chicken...they changed that name too and it stuck, so I imagine "the Hut" will too. Although personally, they can change the name to whatever they want...I'm still not eating there!!

Close ,... I just don't have my own Garden,... I very,.. very rarely ever order a Pizza I don't bake myself.

Not anymore....Pepsico spun off Pizza Hut/Taco Bell/KFC years ago as Tricon Global Restaurants. They eventually acquired Long John Silver and those A&W shops and now go by Yum Brands. The only tie they still have with Pepsi is a life-time contract to serve Pepsi products.

As for KFC, in many cases, they've reverted back to use of the Kentucky Fried Chicken name.

[Nostalgiabuff]

yeah but KFC has an Australian "mascot" now or something. No more Col. Sanders so I hear.

Pizza Hut pizza is just to damn greesy. It's like they soak the crust in it for an hour before baking.

[Joe90]

Besides...I'm so drunk...any pizza will do...lol...

So beer goggles work on pizza too?

Oh my God...I'm not into all this astrology stuff...but I'm a Taurus...and that quote is so right on the money...it's scary, lol...

[grayhank]

I dunno, I think "The Hut" sounds like a very unappealing text message. Are we becoming so lazy of a society that we can't even take a second to say the word Pizza and have to abbreviate everything? (KFC, BK, McD's, etc.)

Some things just shouldn't be messed with. It didn't work when KFC tried to use the phrase "Kitchen Fresh Chicken" and it didn't work for New Coke.
