Pasta Hut

Does anyone know why Pizza Hut didn't go through with the renaming? Did they ever really intend to?

DAnDan · 31 Mar 2009 at 21:21

As far as I saw it was just a marketing scheme, generating intrest for their pasta.

Don't think they ever actually planned to rename.

I think a few have actually changed - not many though.

They never planned to rename it, was a marketing idea to get some more money. Worked really well in America if I remember correctly.

worst idea ever. i mean OH DEAR GAWD... surely they will always sell pizza in a "pasta hut"? :confused:

Looking at some of the Newspaper cuttings they only re-named a few stores - for a short period.

As part of the revamp, the chain is temporarily naming 30 of its branches Pasta Hut.

What I want to know is how can a company serve such horrible tasting food and still stay in business. It's the same as all the crap Chinese takeaways. Why do people keep going back to these places.

Pasta hut sounds so silly :confused:

This is the real question. Anyone that uses spray on garlic deserves to be shut down.

They sell pasta regardless of the name.

I only been Pizza Hut once and that was about 9 year ago. I didn't enjoy their food and thought the pizzas were awful. To top it off (no pun intended), the table we where sitting. I was facing the window, lord and behold I seen two rats going through the trash. At the time of seeing these rats I was munching a pizza with what looked like rat droppings on (obviosuly wasn't). Was chilli beef.

I understand that not all outlets will be like this but stil lthe food is crap and at the time it was bloody expensive.
Won't be going there again!

Did its job of suckering a few people into talking about it and hence a bit of extra publicity.

Why would anyone buy an overpriced pasta from there?

If you want pasta make it yourself or go somewhere that you know will be decent.

Greenlizard0 · 31 Mar 2009 at 23:02

They barely sell an excuse for pizza in there, I dread to think what gunk they pass of as pasta..

Sooner they go out of business the better. Awful awful food and service.

There was a really hot girl working in the last one I went into.
That's good service in my book.

Because surprisingly it's not "horrible tasting" to everyone.
