    A few months ago I was suddenly craving a pan pizza… out of nowhere. In the 80’s, Pizza Hut pan pizza was the shit. I was pining for the nostalgia, I suppose.

    The pizza was got was awful. Truly horrible. Pizza Hut is dead to me.

      It’s the old adage: You can make a pizza so cheap, nobody will eat it. You can make an airline so cheap, nobody will fly it.

      That was such a big deal back then. Haven’t touched it since. Thanks for taking a bullet so the rest of us can keep on us memories in tact

      I worked there out of high school. They put in something like 5 pumps of oil into a large pizza pan, and the raw dough sits on top. A personal has a single squirt, the other sizes are somewhere in the middle.

      You liked it in the past because you had no developed palate as a child and your stomach handled the grease better, plus a good amount of nostalgia. It was always bad lol.

      had a similar experience a while back. our local pizza place was closed, so we ordered from pizza hut. twice as expensive for a shit pizza with a cardboard crust and boneless wings that were clearly pre-cooked frozen chicken that had been microwaved for a bit and then, rather than being tossed in sauce, were just put in a togo container and allowed to sit in the sauce. I’ll literally go to bed hungry before I buy another crumb of food from pizza hut.
