Remember the book-it pizza thing?

Oh man that was the best

Pretty much any big name pizza place is the same story. A cycle of "make it smaller", "make it out of cheaper ingredients", "put less on it" and "make it cost more" has left most of them barely recognisable as pizza.

The best pizza near any of us is probably from a local family run pizza place.

The best value pizza is probably Costco.

I don't know why everybody else continues to exist. A mountain of brand recognition heading towards oblivion.

Whereas nowadays if you want to have the modern Pizza Hut experience you can order pizza from anywhere... then just eat the box. 😬

THE DESSERT PIZZAS

Pizza Hut buffet was a good deal for the price and quality, if you wanted to go have a lunch of real pizza.

Our local one is still here but they sold the big red roof building and moved into a strip mall. No inside dining, carry out only. I miss the drive-through though - used to be able to just order online or call and not have to get out of my car to get it. Now I have to park and walk inside and my precious convenience is reduced. But I still refuse to pay for Doordash type bullshit.

pizza hut in the small town i grew up in stayed like that until the 2018 when the sole owner died and his inheritors outsourced its management rather than returning to bfe to run it (i don't blame them) and i feel like that's how most older establishments enshittify.

there was no way he was making money, but he CLEARLY loved pizza & people and was happy doing it.

Such fond memories. This and Shakey's.

I think this was Pizza Hut?

edit: yup

I assumed this is a Pizza Hut based on the roof but they still exist so I'm not sure it fits?

I like the version of this meme that's a picture of a building with an outline of a former Sears logo on the front

It used to be a pizza hut.

An extinct civilisation called Heetzah Putt, rumoured to be near the lost city of Atlantis.

Cheba Hut comes close and is a real place, but they don't sell weed...yet

In Germany it was always confusing but fun because "hut" just means hat

Hut always made sense to me. Making pizza in a hut... sort of a quaint name when thought of that way

You just solved history.

That would be 3 different Chinese buffets over a 5 year period!

A lot of the best taquerias in my area are in the old taco bell Spanish style buildings

They only won that in the non US version. Here in the US it was Taco Bell

No that was Taco Bell.
