Pizza Hut Is Still Just...Well, Pizza Hut

Maybe when I was a kid Pizza Hut appealed to me. But I do recall we hardly ever went there when I was a kid. Straw Hat in California comes readily to mind as a place we frequented. And beyond that there were others.
But Pizza Hut has just never been "my thing." It's always come off to me as mediocre at best, and generally speaking, I have not been to a Pizza Hut in over a decade. Maybe more. In fact, probably more than that.
But yesterday, while out with mom, she was kind of feeling like pizza, and I figured, well, our Pizza Hut here has a an all-you-can-eat lunch buffet. We might as well just go there.
I won't say it was bad. It was just...Pizza Hut, which for me is "nothing to write home about" even though I am writing about it here.
It was okay. It filled the bill. But it rekindled no flame for me and did not give me any reason to go out of my way to eat Pizza Hut again. It's okay eats, but not good eats.
The most bland, boring pizza I have had next to Chuck E. Cheese or lately, Little Caesar's. And speaking of Little Caesar's, not sure what happened to them. Their pizzas were actually good at one time, but now they suck.
And I'm not at all picky.

Pizza Hut always reminds me of that brilliant Joe Piscopo spoof of Andy Rooney on SNL when he was skewering Yasser Arafat: “What’s with Yasser Arafat’s head covering? He looks like he stole it from Pizza Hut. He should eat at better restaurants. And what kind of name is Yasser anyway, the opposite of no sir?”

@porwest — it’s funnier if you hear Andy Rooney’s voice saying it!

All you can eat is good
Pizza Hut here is not good.
But I do like Pizza
Did your Mom enjoy herself?
That's the main thing.

I haven't had Pizza Hut or any franchise pizza in ages. I do love pizza and we get a pretty decent one at our local pizzeria.

@porwest To me, it just the epitome of what you described in your post: adequate. We had one in my small college town, and I knew what I'd get if I went there. Plus my friend was a manager there, and we knew we could "score" some free pizza if we went there as he was shutting down.

To me Pizza Hut relies on a "certain" demographic—which is probably a pretty dumb thing to say since every business big or small does. But how I describe it is this way; Pizza Hut is a place one goes to eat something that looks like pizza who doesn't like pizza. Which just means, if you've ever had a GOOD pizza, you don't even consider Pizza Hut in the mix. Just my two cents.

Domino's is not bad pizza. I used to like to get their Extravaganza and used to order from them quite often. Still, when we lived in Milwaukee, there was a local place there we liked very much called Tarantino's that got 90% of our pizza business, and here where we are now it's a local chain called Pizza World that gets it.

They've changed a lot. I can't speak for where you live, but the area where I live cut corners. They got rid of all but a cook and manager. ingridents are frozen and pre-made. I know that won't make the food taste fresh. No matter how baked it gets.

I've eaten at Pizza Hut... Not often, though. They were expensive and weren't the best pizza I've had.
There are two other places here in our town that have some good pizzas. We like a take-out only convenience store in our area called Casey's Pizza. They make a really good Taco pizza and that's what we normally order there. They have other pizza toppings but we aren't interested. The other one is called Your Pizza Place. They do a variety of pizzas that are good. We call and order one once in a while and are happy with them.

Just now
We have Pizza Hut here but I can't remember the last time I went there. Probably the biggest chain here is Dominos.
