Pizza Hut to start rebooting brand on Nov 19 - new logo, uniforms, menu, pizza box

Not these days anymore I think. I mean, there's only about 1 or 2 here in Vancouver that I've noticed are still open. Everything else is either Domino's, FreshSlice, or local, although I can't really speak for everywhere else.
Also, as somebody else said, Pizza Hut seems to no longer agree with my stomach.

Will not buy. How about they make their pizza healthier or something?
Domino's deep dish is delicious. I usually don't like deep dish and prefer thin crust, but it is pretty damn good.

Meh, I'd rather go somewhere that does a few things really well over a place that has dozens of options, each just a different shade of the same old mediocrity.

No shit. I had Pizza Hut earlier this year for the first time in probably at least a decade, and I couldn't believe the crust. They aren't even trying to pretend that it's bread. I can see why some people may like it since while it may taste like cardboard, it at least tastes like deep-fried cardboard.
Nah. Dominoes handmade pan or whatever is better than another Pizza Hut currently offers, and I say that as someone who wouldn't eat at Dominoes for years.

Pizza Hut needs to realize that their food isn't really that high quality and Domino's matches or beats them on pricing, including pretty much all of their deals. Why would I have Pizza Hut when I could have the same or better pizza at Domino's for less? This reason is why I haven't had Pizza Hut for a while, so I can't say how good they are at this time (last time I had it it was pretty bad).
More ingredients and options is nice, but that's only a short term solution as curious customers come to try out the pizza. Sure you'd gain some back if they really like it and can't get it anywhere else, but even then if you gain a sizable customer base using that Mr. Domino's over there would just copy you and create their own version of that and at a likely lower price.
Edit: Also jump on Shop Runner like Domino's did, Pizza Hut. Means anybody with an Amex automatically gets free delivery from Domino's while they have to pay $3 to get delivery from you.

Lol. So true.
Ok, I guess I should get some Pizza Hut before next week and all this craziness upends it all.

will gently cradle you as time slowly ticks away.
The only reason I ate Pizza Hut was because they did a constant buy-one-get-one-free offer.
Now that I'm back in Scotland there's options. Anyone who eats Pizza Hut or Dominos here has mental deficiencies.

Good luck to them. None of the changes are making me hungry though. I only order from them once in a blue moon when there's an unbeatable deal.
Well there's a small fast food version on campus that does pretty good personal pizzas. Haven't had one in awhile.

What? What the fuck? This is gross. Don't put those ideas in their head.
I love pizza. I'm sure I'll love all this weird shit too.
Pick something and do it well, morons. You used to! Pizza Hut used to have a great "thin and crispy" crust, a great "pan" crust, and a great casual family friendly environment to eat in. Now they have none of those things. Now they have a thin and tough, flavorless thin crust. Now they have a doughy and cheap tasting pan crust. Now they have some restaurants that are trying to compete with Dominoes as a takeout joint and some that are cavernous and cheap, but none are any place families want visit when they go out for dinner.
No wonder they are struggling.

Pizza for the lowest common denominator.

Drop the "The". Just "Hut"...it's cleaner.

I would get Netflix for this show.
I go to Pizza Hut quite regularly, I'll be happy to try out their new flavours but the biggest issues with Pizza Hut will always be the quality of the pizzas and the price of them. This rebranding won't be changing either of those factors so this won't have a long lasting effect.

No pesto sauce? weak
I'm going to be honest with you here. I thought that crust was awful. Certainly the pizzas that typically included it were. It was bland. That was the beginning of the end of Pizza Hut.

Drop everything but the logo. Much, much cleaner.
Then we can call it "The Shitty Pizza Chain Formerly Known as Pizza Hut."

Who wants to tell another human that they will have an order of the "Cock a Doodle Bacon"?!
Dunno, I loved it. Maybe it wasn't so much the flavor of it but the texture was awesome.
My pallet is obviously more refined now 20 years later...but give me a good wood fired pizza with a yeasty tasting crust and lots of gluten in there.
Is that it?
Seems to be.

I used to love Pizza Hut. Greasy crust and all. Now I want a pizza to taste fresh and light. A fresh margarita with thinner Italian crust is heaven.

Cherry peppers are delicious. I make them stuffed with cheese, and then roasted
Shit god damn those look good!
Yep, nasty leftover sweet chemically taste has completely put me off.

Their pizza always makes my bowels explode. Not sure why. I can handle other pizza places and Taco Bell never does it to me. A few slices of pan pizza from Pizza Hut though and I'm usually in trouble.

It's a reboot. You need the "The".
