... only one fast food chain has survived the “fast food wars”; Taco Bell......Demolition Man Haven't you noticed that Taco Bell has absorbed Pizza Hut? It is because its price point matches its quality. |

Local one is still going. They have not been able to compete with Mazzios though. There is a waitress that has been there for like 33 years or some such, so I still go there occasionally to support her, she is just really nice but it has been probably a year. I used to drive twenty miles once every couple of weeks to eat lunch at a Pizza Hut because the waitress was so nice. She honest-to-God hit the lottery and quit and I haven't been back since. I'll get one from the take-out place once in a while if I have a coupon. |

I got foiled again today. I was all hungry for some Pizza Hut lunch buffet so I decided to make the drive to one of the last ones fairly close-by only to reach an abandoned restaurant and find out they were closed for business. They've pulled this on me three times now at different locations. Now I have to drive 30 minutes from work to get to the next closest Pizza Hut if I want to enjoy their lunch buffet. Papa John must be putting the hurting on them. All of the restaurants are closing up, yes---but we still have a bit of delivery/carry-out only places in mini-malls. Their propensity of serving pan-fried, buttery goo that masquerades as slimy pizza---ensures that I will always call Papa John's. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
I'm not sorry to say it. Good. We have two decent places in a 50 mile radius. One is a south side of Chicago greasy pizza, out of a family owned and ran for 50 years place, the other is a lady who does true deep dish, in real brick ovens, she got the recipe for her dough from an old Italian guy who sold her the ovens. Since Pizza Hut went away, Domino's closed and Little Cesar's is almost dead, she opened a second location, and both places are doing well, as well as offering lunch specials for about the same price, and it's leaps and bounds better than the chain places. Capitalism works sometimes.  Toppers reminds me of Pizza Hut from like 15 years ago when they didn't suck. |

Pizza Hut isn't even on my radar, as it sucks so hard.
The real tragedy is that there isn't a Pizzeria UNO within 50 miles of me anymore, which is sad. The last/only one in my area closed a couple years ago.

Probably get enough mom's with kids to keep going is my guess, that's who I've seen entering when I go past. Been there a couple times in the past twenty years, simple salad bar, pizza's are so so. Not on my radar for lunch usually. |

Little Caesar's is putting a hurting on Domino's, Pizza Hut and Papa John's. It's definitely not gourmet pizza but for 5 bucks you get a decent large pepperoni that will feed 4 people. In this economy even Ike Turner couldn't beat that.

I haven't had a Domino's in probably 20 years. No shit. Pizza hut seems to be going more for a delivery model instead of the sit down restaurants. Are they as good or better than you local haunt? Shit no. They honestly can't be, at the prices they charge. But are they better than a lot of other national chains at the moment? I think so. |

The Stuffed Crust pizza (stuffed with cheese) is awesome.. well at least the crust part... I don't think pizza and sit down are really a good idea anymore... people are moving faster.. If you have a bar/restaurant which serves other things and you offer a HIGH END Pizza... then I could see it working, the bar keeps the place busy, the pizza brings people in on the weekends... Deluca's Pizza in Lansing, MI is a small place.. but everyone goes there for pizza... much better than any cheap fast food pizza like Dominoes/etc.. don't get me wrong I am eating Dominoes as I type this... lol.. but I wish I could get Deluca's here in DFW, Texas!!!
and Little Caesar's SUCKS.. sorry Mr Ilitch.. Love the WINGS, hate the Cardboard... errrr...Pizza!!! |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Nope. There are two within two miles in either direction. Thing is, it doesn't really mean much. I love Ohio to death, but a great many of us wouldn't know a good pizza if it was shoved in front of us. The thing we would know however, is that New Yorkers are absolutely FULL OF SHIT, when it comes to the best pizza. I hate to bust their balls like this, but the best pizza parlors exist in California. They'll NEVER admit it, and that's fine. I love watching them wallow in their ocean of wrong. |

What I remember most about Pizza Hut is that all their pizzas tasted alike: soggy, doughy mess fried up in a greasy skillet. I know they're supposed to be deep-dish style, but Jesus.
And shit would have to come to a pretty fucking critical pass before I throw any more business Domino's way. We ordered something from them a few months back and it was way below DiGiorno's in quality, IMO. My wife looked at me and said, "If they're crowing about having improved their pizzas so much now, they must have tasted like the inside of a dumpster lid before." I wouldn't go quite that far, but they were much of a muchness with Little Seizure's. |
