The niche with Pizza Hut was the dining experience. The red cups, the hut roofs, the whole thing… They gutted all that and kept the subpar pizza. You can get carry out/delivery pizza of same quality from everywhere else. They took away the thing that made them different in the marketplace.

I have the sound of those red cups hitting the floor seared into my brain.

Their pizza used to be much better. They lost some consumers to the places selling worse pizza for cheaper and instead of just excepting it, tried to compete on price. They turned their pizza to shit, just like their competitors. Only their competitors had smaller buildings with less overhead and kitchens designed from the ground up to sling out fast pizza. Super Dumbass move on pizza hut.

they lost to dominos? and maybe costco overtime, eventhough costco isnt really pizza dough.

I only buy pizza from The Hut.

See, this pizza comes with cheese in the crust; that's not normal, it's awesome!

(Seriously tho, the Dominoes is closer, and if someone local was making the equivalent of "sutffed crust", I'd order from them. But, I'll pay a premium for cheese in the crust.)

EDIT: TIL Dominos has a stuffed crust option as of May 2025, and Papa Murphy's might.

Plenty of places do stuffed crust don't they? We usually get stuffed crust when ordering Papa John's.

[–] Kushan@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I wonder if this is a regional thing? Dominoes in the UK has had stuffed crust for at least a decade of not longer. At one point they had got dog stuffed crust too, it was divine.

[–] TrollTrollrolllol@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

the hut probably owns the cheese in crust patent.

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

There's plenty of frozen pizzas that have it in America

As a fellow stuffed crust fanatic, Papa Murphys version isn't great (despite them being my favorite "fast food pizza") and im not sure if I've had Dominoes version but doubt its that great either.
