Same not good pizza.

Good breadsticks though.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

They're just making it a slightly less bigger deal than Domino's did.

Wait for the marketing/advert blitz first, sounds like they may go beyond what Domino's had done.

 

[Lamel]

I've always liked their pan pizzas. But this is a bit overwhelming.

 

[double jump]

Smh they doing everything except for improving their basic pizza which is what they need. I eat them every few months then get sick afterwards. I don't know why I continue to do it though.

 

[Bravocado]

Missing. The point.

Spoiler

As long as nothing happens to their P'zones, whatever.

Yep. I tried some recently. Atrocious, makes Dominos look like 5-star cuisine.

 

[BlackGhost]

I'm down with the 5 new ingredients.

[Shrike Alvaron]

Wait, these assholes put mushrooms in the meatballs? What kind of Trojan horse bullshit is that? I could inadvertently make myself very ill because of stealth fungus.

Fuck you, Pizza Hutt.

Curious, you allergic to mushrooms or are you one of those

Spoiler

heathens

people who just hate them for no reason? Cause mushrooms rock, though I guess I can see that being a problem if you're allergic.

Hope one of those two tomato sauces is less sweet than their current sauce; the sweetness is one of the major reasons I prefer other places now, but I'm willing to try them again after this. Especially with mushroom-infused meatballs!

 

[Chibot]

I was interested until I read that they weren't changing any recipes.

Short answer: Yes.

Long answer: No, I have a food intolerance to mushrooms.

It may be less calories per slice, but I'm sure it won't stop some people from eating more slices than they should anyway.

 

[Not]

New Domino's is pretty good TBF

 

[Kwixotik]

I think their sales are falling because their pizza is bad

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Their pizza is straight trash. Even Hot N Ready's are better. I'd rather have a $5 frozen DiGiorno's over either.

 

[neurosisxeno]

The only item on their menu I like these days are the P'zones, and even those are a shadow of their former self. They used to be made with like a large pizza and came in like a 16'x10' box, and now they are made with a small at best and come in a box about the size of a pencil box.

 

[Vard]

All you had to do was bring back the Bigfoot and New Yorker.

This, except I only would want Bigfoot. Was never a fan of New Yorker. I would definitely get Bigfoot out of nostalgia alone though.

 

[Corgi]

Bring back their old wings. Wing street is shit.

 

[kamakazi5]

I'm in the minority but I really dislike Domino's since they changed their recipe and I've always loved Pizza Hut. I usually order from local pizza places nowadays but I still enjoy Pizza Hut occasionally.

 

[hateradio]

I don't really like Pizza Hut, because I really don't like its sauce.

I wonder if the new tomato one will be better.

 

[SolVanderlyn]

I haven't had Pizza Hut since the 90's. With Dominos and Papa John's around there has been no need.

 

[sphinx]

but can we agree that Pizza Hut in the 80's/early 90's was godly??

I remember going with my parents to a Pizza Hut in Houston, Texas and it was the most fucking ridiculously delicious pizza ever, I remember the day vividly, I couldn't believe my mouth.

 

[Branduil]

In this case, however, Pizza Hut is not changing its core recipe. Instead, it's adding many, many more choices.

LOL. The definition of lipstick on a pig.

Cherry peppers are delicious. I make them stuffed with cheese, and then roasted

That looks 10x more appetizing than anything Pizza Hut currently offers.

 

[zerotol]

Cherry peppers on pizza are awesome. I want that 7 alarm one now.

 

[Nikodemos]

Haven't bought a Pizza Hut pie recently; I remember their stuff to be relatively decent, however the beef cubes had a slightly greasy aftertaste.

Around here Pizza Hut has placed itself as a sit-down soft-lit diner. It doesn't have much competition in this area, unlike to-go places. I see them pretty packed, especially during lunch break or late-afternoon/evening. They have a lot of special offers (Monday 1+1, lunch menus, dinner menus, student discount etc.). They seem to be doing pretty well, though they've kept expansion (new locations) to a minimum.

Anyway, I suspect this new push is a test; after a certain period the less-popular options will be quietly removed from the menu.

 

[Robin64]

Pizza Hut's sales are low because their pizza quality is low, even compared to other pizza chains. (Certainly here in the UK, anyway)

 

[FyreWulff]

Are they ever going to remodel all their restaurants? Nobody wants to go there anymore because it's like stepping back into 1995.

Isn't that the main reason to go?

I got took my son to Pizza Hut for his bday and he loved it.

 

[OneEightZero]

None of this will mean shit if they can't be competitive with their prices. Throwing more frozen shit at the problem won't help when their (frozen) competition is out pacing their cost.

 

[WickedCobra03]

I remember ordering one about 3 years ago from a friend's place (she was the one placing the order) and for a large pizza with pepp, onion, mushroom, green pepper and olives, it was like 16 bucks and not all that great. For $4 more, I could have gotten a local pizza.

They are not terrible, but it hard to go back when you have some pretty decent local places.

Edit: From what i have read here, it does seem like prices have come down in the recent years... kinda?

 

[Kusagari]

The main problem is their pizza sucks, not any of this other stuff.

Look at Dominos. They're having the success they've had in recent years because they improved their pizza.

 

[Philia]

I personally love Pizza Hut's pizza. Most specifically their original sauce. As long as the recipe on that doesn't change, everything else is peachy.

 

[SolidChamp]

So that explains the rennovatins to the local chains here in Taipei. This rebranding already seems to be taking place in Taiwan now.

 

[Masquerader]

So I had the new BBQ chicken pizza, which comes with onions (which I opted not to have), chicken, various cheeses, and a BBQ sauce drizzle. It's also supposed to come with a toasted cheese crust but I asked to try the pretzel crust instead. This is just the end crust and not the entire crust of the pizza. The whole thing was a bit doughier and more pillowy than I imagined, but that wasn't a bad thing. For delivery pizza, I'd say it was pretty tasty actually, a solid 8.5/10. Not a superlative pie, but still very tasty by fast food standards. The chicken was solid quality and plentiful, the cheeses pleasing without being overly greasy, and the pretzel crust was quite delicious, an excellent juxtaposition of saltiness to the sweetness of the BBQ drizzle.

Please excuse the iffy quality iPod Touch pic:

Mmm, lovely.How nice was it in comparison to your average Pizza Hut pizza before the dark and gritty reboot?

 

[Herr K]

Spinach and no fresh basil?

 

[Holy_Chic]

eh...its still basically garbage laced with GMO produce and processed ingredients. if people really want excess carbs, make your own pizza or at least get it from whole foods or an organic retailer.

 

[ZackieChan]

The Pizza Huts here in China are almost like fancy restaurants. It is weird. Of course they feature weird pizzas. They're not so bad, actually.

 

[Stiflers Mom]

Sounds complicated..

I just want a Salami pizza with peppers on it..

 

[maxcriden]

Mmm, lovely.How nice was it in comparison to your average Pizza Hut pizza before the dark and gritty reboot?

I thought it was moderately better than your typical Pizza Hut 'za. I'll probably freeze the second half of the pie, though, as it's a bit on the unhealthy side.

 

[vwnut13]

Yum!

 

[Zen_Arcade]

I can't believe people are saying Domino's is better then Pizza Hut. Pizza Hut is mediocre at best, but Domino's is almost inedible.

 

[Village]

I like pizza hut so we will see where it goes

 

[Antiwhippy]

I can't believe people are saying Domino's is better then Pizza Hut. Pizza Hut is mediocre at best, but Domino's is almost inedible.

Dominos in Australia is pretty good.

Though there's not much choice in Australia when it comes to pizza chains.

Have you had Dominos since they did that rebranding awhile back?Domino is way better than Pizza Hut now.

 

[Zen_Arcade]

Yes, multiple times. It still tastes like garbage. Slightly better garbage, but still garbage.

... Oh. So it feels heavy instead of... Light? If that makes any sense, eheh.

Well, either way, I actually can't wait, for once.

 

[maxcriden]

Yes, it's definitely on the heavier side of pizzas, kind of similar to the (American) Greek style of pizza.

 

[L4DANathan]

Now I want a gritty crime drama starting Jabba from Star Wars. Set it in 1930s Chicago or something.

This made me lol. Easily the best thing to come out of this news.

 

[Zoolader]

Is the name changing to Pizza Hat?

 

[Jarnet87]

Smh they doing everything except for improving their basic pizza which is what they need. I eat them every few months then get sick afterwards. I don't know why I continue to do it though.

yep lol. me and some friends order it once a year during the NFL Draft. We know it's horrible but once a year it's worth the lawls. They need to go back and start from scratch instead of just throwing on more options to their crap pizza. Once in a blue moon I'll order their pan pizza when there is a deal.
