The Death of Pizza Hut

Post Reply New Topic

I think all pizza places in my town suck now so I just make my own damn pizza or just go to grocery store and get one to put in the oven.

I remember at my favorite pizza place I could get a huge slice for cheap. It was really good pizza. Now that place just looks like a dive.

That's pretty good that you can make your own pizza! I can't do that.

Back in the 80's and early 90's Pizza Hut was awesome! Great quality good, good atmosphere.
Since then the food quality has progressively gotten worse. Cheap low quality ingredients tossed onto shrunken pizza bases. I haven't bought anything from PH or Dominos in years, it's tasteless garbage.
Such a shame because back in the day PH dine-in was a great experience.

We had a Pizza Hut in my hometown. I think I had only been there maybe three times in my life. I love pizza. But, I did not love the greasy crust at Pizza Hut. We usually went to one of the locally owned small pizza shops in town. They had better quality food.

Pizza Hut pizza is not nearly as good as typical slice of NYC-style pizza. That’s just the reality

We used to have Pizza Hut over here in Australia, I used to like going there until a kid sneezed all over the buffet.
we also had Sizzlers which is no longer here.

I used to love Sizzler back then as well, it was actually owned by the same group as PH and KFC in some states.
Sizzler had a great range of a variety of food served up buffet style.
Sadly over the years the quality of the food decreased, as did the cleanliness of the restaurants.

I so sympathize with that. There was an older store chain called Hills (it was in the northeast US and similar to Kmart and Walmart back in the day) that people still miss and reminisce dearly about. A candle company from Pittsburgh even created a scented candle based on it.

The 70's to the 90's sounded like a pretty great period of time to live in for me. I was still a little kid (8 years old) when 2000 came around. I have a kind of envy for my mom and dad and their siblings experiences living then.

There's still a dine in pizza hut in Gympie.
I last went there about 4 years ago.
We were the only people in there that day and they cooked the pizza specially for us as i have dietary requirements.
They still had all the salad/pasta/dessert bar that i remember.

There used to be a few Pizza Huts in my area. One was converted into a Brusters and Sardi's (though they still kept the iconic Pizza Hut Rooftop) and another was torn down and rebuilt as an office building.

i loved pizza hut too, i have plenty of great memories at a sit down pizza hut. but that's just it.. they're good memories, but i'm 32 now. if i'm going to go out to eat at a sit down restaurant there's plenty of places i can go where i can spend less but get a genuine meal i can't get at home so easily. also, they really aren't keeping up with the rest of the chains. i can get a large pizza at domino's for 9 bucks, the same one at pizza hut is 14, and they expect a tip with carryout. it's not sustainable, i'm not surprised they're going under.

It’s not even olive oil. On their pan pizzas (Al least when I worked for their local franchise). Wi was some sort of canola oil. What’s worse, their pan pizza went from a premix, to frozen dough. Nowadays, you’re better off going to Wally World And buying Red Baron frozen pizza (I would, excep my endocrinologist told me to cut out pizza because it was making my diabetes go out of control, and 2)I currently lying in bed on the third floor of UPMC Memorial hospital after having a stent put in place in preperation to break up another fairly large kidney stone in my right kidney. This is really going to frost my pcp and my endocrinologist, who are affiliated with a diffferent hospital system. I told the paramedics to drop me at UPMC Memorial, since the’re a little more than a mile away from my apartment, as compared to Wellspan York, which is over 5 miles away, and I was in excruciating pain at the time.

The Huts around Central PA have phazing out or converting their restaurants to delivery only for at least the last 25 years.

I remember when one of my local Pizza Hut restaurants had dine in tables and chairs (this was over a decade ago). Recently however, they removed the tables and chairs and transformed their restaurant to take out only.

I also remember going to a Pizza Hut restaurant circa early 2011 after being picked up from preschool that had an arcade inside of it. I especially remember being fascinated by the pinball machine they had there. Fast forward to now, they probably got rid of the arcade that used to be inside of that location.

I grew up in a Domino's household, Pizza Hut was a rare treat and Round Table (maintained it's quality at last check) and Sbarro (oh how the mighty have fallen) were even better. Used to love Red Lobster and Sizzler too. I guess the world I grew up in doesn't exist anymore, smh.
