Pizza Hut was the best place to have your birthday for a kid in the 90s.  Deep dish pepperoni pizza, Achy Breaky Heart on the jukebox, and Terminator 2 in the arcade. Later on they got Die Hard and Cruis'n USA. |

I still wish Taco Bell was still good and had flavor instead of tasting like sludge after the mid-80s; McD's had decent, hot burgers, tallow-fried fries and hot fried cherry pies, along with working soft serve machines; Clam night and orange sherbet from HoJos and Burger Chef was still around.

I still remember making my custom pan pizza after getting all the stars on my Book-It badge. Putting the cheese and toppings on and placing it on the moving conveyor oven thing and watching it come out the other side fully cooked.
This is a good video on the downfall of Pizza Hut  The Decline of Pizza Hut...What Happened? |

Anyone pining for the old Pizza Hut days and lives around northeast Ohio, google “Pizza Hut classic Warren”. They really did a good job, just looking at the pictures is trip down memory lane. Haven’t been since Covid, not sure what it’s like now but it had the salad bar too.

I agree it was the nasty-ass stuffed crust that signaled the downfall. The move away from hand-made dough.
My older brother worked at one for quite a while. It is still open as a sit-down, but 4 out of 5 times going by there, nobody is dining inside. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I drive by one every day. Pre-covid I'd get their lunch buffet a every couple of months. I'd bring at least one major newspaper (WSJ, NYT) and take an hour or more. Obviously, you don't want to drink a gallon of diet pepsi and eat mountains of breadsticks and pizza on a regular basis. Covid killed off the lunch buffet as far as I know. I might investigate later this week. Don't know where in OH you are, but the lunch buffet in the Hartville pizza hut is still in operation. |

Quote History Pizza Hut was ok. Just ok. We were always blessed with a couple really good local places (and, im talking the west side of Indianapolis, not Chicago) for pizza. For some reason, my son loved it so we’d have to get a stuffed crust when he was home from college. |

Not sure how they stay open. I've had them 3 times in the last 8 years, out of the 87 times I've ordered pizza.
Think they messed up when they started charging $87 a pizza back in the 90s |

Everyone wants cheap pizza. Everyone wants fresh made dough, sauce and cheese with no sawdust. Everyone wants pizzas made with love and quality control. You can't have all three and two is a rarity.
If your pizza place doesn't have an 800 pound Hobart mixer, your pizza place sucks |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I was talking to a friend that worked at Pizza Hut in the 80's and had no idea they used to hand make the dough from scratch in the morning. It was only until later it started coming pre-made in bags. Like a part of me wonders how much I think food tasted better because of childhood nostalgia, but really do think it was tastier. Similar to McDonald's French Fries. They always tasted better as a child and it was only later I found out they used a different type of fat. They were actually pretty exspensive for the time. Pepsico switched everything to pre processed garbage to get the price way down, spun up a ton of debt by buying small chains in order to expand the menu then set them off into their own Company (Yum) with a huge load of debt. |

I grew up in Temple, TX, in the ‘60s and 70s.
The Pizza Hut was THE place to go and be seen. It was bigger than Pizza Inn and the others even if the pizza was better. But we liked it. |

It was a ton of fun. My parents would always take us to a local pizzeria if we were going out. Book It was the only thing that got us in the door at Pizza Hut and I'd look forward to it every time because I never got to go otherwise. There aren't any dine-ins left around me.

It was a tradition for me and my dad to eat at the Pizza Hut in Washington, GA the night before opening day of deer season. The only time this tradition was stopped was my service time.
Eventually, I started bringing my daughters hunting and they were a part of the tradition. Dad died in 04 but we continued it on until the hunting property was sold off in 2016. Great great memories! And some sadness as well. A tradition that lasted more than forty years. |
