Pizza Hut

Let me first begin by saying I'm not a fan of Pizza Hut food at all. However, growing up in this small town, Pizza Hut was all we could get.

This pizza joint has a monopoly over the entire town of Burlington, and takes advantage of it as much as possible.  None of Pizza Hut's promotional deals are honored, and the prices are raised sky high.  $20 or more for a large pizza? For a Pizza Hut pizza?!? I think I'll walk over to McDonald's for their dollar menu.  

I hope Papa Johns opens up next door and runs this joke of an establishment out of town.  The folks that still live there agree.

I ate there twice, two days apart on a round-trip roadtrip. I ordered off the menu both times. The food was fine, as ordered, tasty, hot, and fresh. My service was better the second time, on a Saturday afternoon, but fine both times. Appreciated the free wifi very much. A good choice for a quick meal.

What a mad house!

I swear it's been over 16 years since I've eaten at a Pizza Hut.  We'd been on the road for a few days and I just wanted to get my butt out of the car.

We got there for the early part of the lunch rush, and what a crazy scene!  The buffet line was swarmed, the 4 pizzas that were set out were gone like a pack of hungry wolves had pounced.

The salad bar was barely passable with iceberg lettuce, potato salad and a few veggie toppings.  At least everything looked fresh.

On the hot bar were also jalapeno poppers, mozzarella sticks, potato wedges, a pasta dish, and a soup that everyone else seemed to pass up.

The pizza was just what I remembered from from years ago:  dry, bland, and unremarkable.

Soft serve ice cream was included and I was lucky enough to get a slice of the dessert pizza to go with my bowl of vanilla soft serve.

Service was pretty lame, the soft serve ran out of bowls early on and were never replenished, I had to grab the last bowl from the soup section, and that was never replenished either. Once they decided we were there long enough, they quit clearing our dirty plates and left the bill on our table.  

This visit will do me for at least another 20 years.
