Pizza hut

For the fast food chains I think Domino's is best then Pizza Hut and Perfect Pizza. Never had a Papa Johns as there aren't any close enough to deliver.

Time to update this because the old Natwest branch that closed down a few years back reopened as a Papa John's and I prefer it over Domino's.
 
Maybe 25 + years ago, we landed at Charlotte N.C. around 10.00 p.m. en route to a rented vacation home on the Piper Glen estates.
The directions, printed out by the agent in U.K., included, after passing a Hess gas station, you’ll come to a traffic light, with a Pizza Hut on the corner, take the second left after that, and the house is at the end of that street, on the left.
I said to my wife, “Hungry? Want to hit the Hut?”
She said, “I’m a bit tired, get one, and we’ll get to the house, eat it, then crash out.”
We went in, I checked the menu, and ordered a large one with extra jalapeños and Italian sausage, and a couple of root beers.
The attractive young black female clerk, said, “Y’all gonna eat in, or y’all want that to go?”
My wife said, “To go please.”
According to the menu, this was about $14 plus tax I think, I fished out a twenty, and the girl said, “Gimme ten bucks sweet cheeks, ah jest lurve yo accent!”
Man, I love that special relationship.

Nice story, but what was the pizza like?

Nah, it's just a very service orientated industry over there and saffer will tip rather generously if we're fed well and taken care of. We're basically big babies who behave well if we get our way and throw our toys if we don't.

Plus all the meat and produce out there is seriously fresh, even more so for seafood along the coast. In many restaurants you can eat a cow the same day or day after it was killed.

Costs £lol compared to here too. If you ask for a big steak out there you'll get half a cow on your plate, cooked exactly how you want it, to absolute perfection for about £15, including chips, salad, sauces, the lot. A beer goes for about £1 to £1.50.

Keep in mind I'm from there so we don't go to tourist places. I suspect this affe ts the prices we pay rather dramatically.

I used to love driving Saffers when I was working in France: regularly got €100-200 tips when they'd only paid €200-300 for the entire drive. Always had a good laugh too!
 
I ordered just over 50 quids worth of pizza from my local take away PH. they goosed the order up and as I paid by DC I had to raise the dispute with Pizza Hut the company as the local take away store is a franchise and couldn't deal with the dispute...I had paid Pizza Hut online, not the local franchisee, apparently.
Eventually got my money back but, haven't went near Pizza Hut since, just in case they bugger the order up again.

Whoops! Sorry rob, to the best of my recall, as we may have done similar things other places, it was good.
She had maybe one slice, then crashed, I had one and a bit, then followed suit, putting the pie in the fridge.
Waking up around 03.30, as my body clock was well out of whack after a trans-Atlantic flight, I put up a pot of coffee, and mullered the rest of it,
:D
 
You guys should try Pizza Hut in China, it's a completely different ball game. Pizza only makes up about 25% of the menu and the rest is some really excellent food compared to the UK
 
As for Pizza hut i only go with the medium pizza and side deal for £5 each which is pretty good value.

So yeah also the pizza can be quite greasy but I'm not here to complain because it only cost £5 for one pizza or go to Tesco and buy a frozen pizza for £4 either way this pizza hut deal is quite good.

We went to pizza hut a couple of weeks ago for the first time in about 5 years. The quality of the pizzas are rubbish. I forgot how bad the bases are, they remind me of the frozen deep pan goodfellas that I used to have as a child.

The fresh supermarket pizzas are far superior nowadays. In fact, we had a harissa chicken pizza from Aldi last that was considerably better and 1/3 of the price.

Yup. Pizza Express is far superior if you want to eat in and supermarket pizzas are head and shoulders above most of the take away outfits.

All big brand pizza places are over priced and under value.

Exactly your local Turkish kebab shop will do a better pizza than both dominoes and pizza hut. Our local pizza hut has recently closed down. I did actually like going there as I liked the all you can eat salad and drinks machines. It was also a nice setting. Pizzas were average at best mind and much prefer dominoes. It will most likely get turned into a eastern european off licence.
