End of an Era...Pizza Hut Name Change

[Captain]

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!!

[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.

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

PIZZA BY THE SIGNS

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

I forgot Papa Murphy's...that's were you bake it...it's actually pretty good...and cheap.

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?

[SlipperyLilSuckers]

I think it's dumb to change it too, but hey, it got us all talking about it for 5 minutes...

[Donkey Hoatie]

Well, they got rid of the "pizza." Call me when they get rid of the ability to give people diarrhea by just walking into the place.

[GSPUSA]

Pizza Hut never reopened after Ike, so I'm stuck with Dominoes til I move out of this god for saken town.

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

[MIB41]

I agree with you Anthony. Yeah that is a strange decision to change their name. Product identification is a pretty important factor in building and maintaining your business. Changing the name would not be my first choice. Developing the menu enhances the name, not changing the name itself.

[Hector]

I agree though, there's a million Pizza places to eat. But these big names ones are usually the fastest and most convenient ones. most of those little ones don't deliver more then a couple of miles

This is true.

Sometimes I'm kicking it late at night...I'm talking past midnight night...and you are drinking beer after beer...then you get hungry...and yes...that's when a pizza chain that delivers late saves the night, lol.

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