Default Pizza Hut Fail

Apparently this is what an $18 Supreme Pan pizza hut at Pizza Hut
looks like now. Half of it in adorned crust anmd tomato sauce, and
the cheese and toppings beings right about where a small pizza would
start.

https://i.postimg.cc/HsSgMmmx/PH-Pizza-Fail.jpg

It took 35 minutes waiting outside and were charges $3 extra. Along
with 6 wings for $9. I didn't order this or eat it, I went to
Church's next door and got the 3 piece eg and thigh for $2. Clearly
Pizza Hut has lost the Pizza Wars.

There were 6 pieces of red onion, 7 mushrooms, green peppers temps,
and only half the pizza surface area had no cheese and 1/3rd had
nothing at all.

I know all of you either:

1. Only make your own pizza.
2. Haven't eaten at Pizza Hut for 60 years
3. Only get pizza from (some hole in the wall nobody here has access
to)
4. Only grid your own pizza at home because (some ludicrous claim)
5. Don't have pizza hut on your island/rock.
6. Voted for Trump so this kind of stuff doesn't happen.

So save those comments <yawn>.

Yes, Pizza Hut has fallen pretty low. The last time I ate there was about
two years ago and it was a sad offering.

Also note they clearly put some sort of stencil over the pizza to
prevent getting any toppings on the outer 1.5"'s of crust.

I haven't been to Pizza Hut in over ten years. I used to like it but
then they cheapened their product and I haven't been back. There
aren't any decent pizza joints here so if we wan't pizza I make my own
with dough from the local market but mostly we have doctored frozen
pizza, but not often, perhaps once in 3-4 months. There's a place
nearby that makes good calzone but they make lousy pizza.

I don't know about that. There appears to be some stuff slopped over
the edge. I would imagine that it is not that hard to colour inside the
lines when they are so cheap with the toppings.

Well, it is round and has cheese.
Does not look appealing at all though. For only pennies more they could
do much better.
Fortunately we have a good pizza place a mile away. ,

The toppings being 2.5-3 inches away from the crust happened to me
once with another brand of pizza. I called and wrote a complaint
about the problem and was given another pizza. Try officially
complaining.

The secret to good or bad pizza.
Bad pizza. They just hired the person who is dressing the pizza and
scared the bejibbers out of them regarding using too much toppings.
Good pizza. They just hired the person who is dressing the pizza and
they read the directions for covering the pizza and decided that a
little more wouldn't hurt.
Don't worry. Neither person will be there the next time you order and
all pizza with be mediocre

Popeye's is better, but both have similar deals going now. Popeyes
used to have $.99 leg/thigh on Tuesday which lasted a few years, but
that's long gone and the pieces are smaller (cornish game hen).

They're BOTH much cheaper than KFC, which is outrageously expensive.

I'd say that Church's tastes better than Popeyes before 12:00 PM. I always thought something happened to their oil after then though.

I've gotten chicken at Church's where the oil had obviously gone bad.

I worked for them (delivery manager) many years ago , and that ain't
how I was taught to make a pizza . I haven't had a Pizza Slut pie in a
long time , they have sunk pretty low - problem is that the rest have
too . The only pizza I'll willingly eat these days besides my own is
from Tommy's Famous . Sean make the best pie I've ever had , it's better
than mine and mine's pretty damn good .

I will not order from Pizza Hut any more. I've never liked their pizza but I
can't tell you specifically why. My ex husband loved it and Angela and her
friends liked it. There used to be one around the corner from me when
Angela's dance studio was in the same strip mall. I don't recall any
complaints from that location and we used to buy from them occasionally.

They left when the mall was partially torn down and rebuilt. Now the one
that serves us is further into Bothell and it has horrible online reviews. I
did order from them a few times some time back because Angela and her friend
claimed to like their chicken. As it turned out, they liked the chicken from
another location. Not that one.

These days if I order, I order from Dominos. Sad to say that is the best
pizza in this area that I've found, and also the cheapest. I love their
Mediterranean sandwiches so much that I'll buy two. I also get a pizza where
I choose my own toppings. I generally only do this if I'm craving beef and
have no beef in the house.

Unless I am entitled to a free cheese pizza from Dominos, if it's cheese
pizza I want, I just make a frozen one. The Great Value Rising Crust is
good. I do doctor it up by adding whatever little bits of cheese I have in
the fridge. It's never the same way twice but it's always good.

I like watching them make the pizza at Costco. Seems kind of mindless. The
crust spins while a machine swirls the sauce on. Yes, I am easily amused.
The toppings appear to be pre-portioned. I don't think you can customize but
I could be wrong.

I've gotten a slice of cheese pizza a couple of times. It was good but far
too much food for me.

The Popeye's here in Everett has horrible reviews. We had one briefly in
Lynnwood before I was married. I picked up some food on my way home from
work. My now ex husband loved it but it was not for me. I only had sides.
Everything was too heavily seasoned for my liking.

There is a KFC in Lynwood. I don't know how they are still open. I never see
anyone there and I don't know anyone who eats there.

We have an Ezell's around the corner. People rave about their food and they
are always busy but I got food from them twice and nobody would eat it. Not
even the highly rated rolls. It smells good but it's VERY greasy! They have
poor online reviews as well.

The best pizzarias use Stanislaus or Escalon brand sauces. Crust is
easy, and provolone/full fat mozzarella cheeses are pretty standard,
but when I started using Stanislaus Full Red, my pizza improved
dramatically. Escalon has fans who insist that it is even better than
Stanislaus. Both are made from the highest grade tomatoes, and are
carefully processed.

You are correct. It really is, "all in the sauce."

For years I had a gall bladder issue that made tomatoes a problem for
me, so I tended to avoid a lot of Italian foods. Now I can eat the stuff
once in a while and started to like pizza more than I used to. The best
pizza I ever tasted had no tomato sauce at all. It had sliced eggplant
and goat cheese. It was delicious.

You both are crazy if you think sauce is more important than crust.
The most common sauce is simply pure crushed tomatoes. The crust,
OTOH, takes a lot to get right. That's why so places invest in fancy
ovens - not sauce.

And most places don't use full fat motz, it's almost always part
skim.

It's a duet between the sauce and the crust. The best sauce in the
world will not save a pizza with a crappy crust.

To me, the crust is so important that I vanishingly rarely use sauce.
Diced fresh tomatoes do the trick for me.

Pizza sauce is seasoned crushed tomatoes, NOT cooked or it will
caramelize in hot pizza ovens.

Today most use that fake mozz, name escapes me right now but it's not
a dairy product... primarilly vegetable oil... like Gilbani string
cheese.

That would work for me if they were home grown and ripe. No
supermarket tomatoes. Even better - since I have a couple food mills
and a tomato mortar/strainer - fresh crushed tomatoes.

I have too many deer and other varmints to set up to grow just
tomatoes and peppers (I don't live in urban Bel Nor).

Yet 99.99999992% of commercial, retail, and restaurant pizza sauces
are cooked with no problem with rampant caramelization.
