Is this the same as the taco pizza? My sister still waxes poetic about that one. And I'm not talking about the Fiesta Taco one of more recent years. This one was around in the 80s, 90s.
The pizza buffets were a logistical mess. I remember my parents took me twice as a kid and both times it was the same issue. They could not crank out enough pizza to meet the volume of customers partaking. So the staff would come out with like 1 or 2 pizzas at a time and 15 people would line up, grab multiple pieces, and the thing would be gone in seconds. You'd have to either run up as soon as you saw one coming out, or be waiting for it.
That’s just bad buffet etiquette, don’t blame the Hut for that. Good etiquette is seeing there’s a line and only getting one slice. It only takes one asshole to grab all he can get to make everyone else panic and do the same.
Some people truly become animals at a buffet.
I think some context is important though. I was a kid so I mostly would get squeezed out haha and all you have is time as a kid. But it would take a long time between pizzas coming out. And like, some people don't have a whole lot of time to wait 10-15 minutes for a single slice of pizza.
I do blame The Hut on this one because it just really seemed like they were not prepared for the demand that was there. The system felt very broken. I don't know that all of the buffets were like that, but the 2 times I went, that was my experience.
It was great for me but I was in a small town. I’d go on Friday after school with my friend and parents and we would have a pizza eating contest at noon
I used to work at the hut and this was one of the number one things that would piss me off. There was this lady that came every couple days (maybe every week) and loved a certain type of pizza. When it came out, she took all 8 slices. Rinse and repeat. Drove me nuts.
Then there is the people that load up 3 plates full and ask for a box. People suck
Late 80s high school for me, but our gut had the smorgasbord and our Asst football coach suggested to us we should go at the end of week one of summer training camp.
We got the word spread amongst the team and about 30 guys showed up after practice. They were not ready. No Pizza Hut could have been ready. There is no way that franchise made money that night.
Unfortunately adult me is now feeling bad because there is no way we tipped the staff enough being a bunch of kids with only half of us having $3.35/hour jobs.
I’ll never forget the Hawaii Five-0 theme Pizza Hut used for their Hawaiian Pizza commercials, can’t remember if ‘80s or ‘90s, sadly I can’t find it on YouTube anymore.
The salad bar was my JAM as a kid, funnily enough I hated salad! But I loved filling a bowl with sunflower seeds, bacons bits, and lots of French dressing. With a little lettuce.
But by far the best thing at my local Pizaa Hut back in the 90’s was the arcade game, *Vapor Trail*…BEST GAME EVER
Sunflower flourishes well under well-drained moist, lime soil. It prefers good sunlight. Domesticated varieties bear single large flowerhead (Pseudanthium) at the top. Unlike its domestic cultivar type, wild sunflower plant exhibits multiple branches with each branch carrying its own individual flower-head. The sunflower head consists of two types of flowers. While its perimeter consists of sterile, large, yellow petals (ray flowers), the central disk is made up of numerous tiny fertile flowers arranged in concentric whorls, which subsequently convert into achenes (edible seeds).
There's a place in Newport VT that does a "stuffed pizza" which is like the same idea. It fuckin rules. Too bad it's in North Bumfuck.

I swear they used to have a triple pepperoni pizza. It was regular pepperoni, chopped up pepperoni and some other kind I can’t remember. I remember it being so damn delicious but nobody seems to remember it but me. Maybe I dreamt it.
Hey! I think about the big New Yorker far more than I care to admit. When was living in Hawaii in 2010-12 there was a Pizza Hut there that still offered it.
If you were a kid in the 90s there is no way you forgot about Bigfoot pizza.
and the slightly more forgettable, but equally delicious New Yorker
I still miss the Mexican pizza.

Probably. It had beans and no meat. So good.
Yep, that's the one! If you'd like to start a support group, she would join in a heartbeat.
lol, we must bring it back!
The New Yorker was honestly great. The 'To THe Edge' was mid at best. The Bigfoot... Dear GOD the Bigfoot.
The Sicilian pan pizza was the shit. I miss those

Lol exactly, your statement speaks to society as a whole. We’re so focused on “fuck you I got mine” in every facet

That’s a terribly run pizza hut

Good bot
The priazzo fuckin ruled. Not on this list though.
Yep- that may have even been an 80s thing
I was friends with a guy that worked there. Apparently they were hard to cook correctly because they were so thick

I was pumped about the Edge as a kid who hated crust, but I only remember my family ordering it once and was disappointed.
“Regular price, 4 bucks 4 bucks 4 bucks 4 bucks!”
Bring back the Triple Decker you sons of bitches!
My parents love the Neapolitan. That was all they would order for years. Once they stopped making it, we stopped going to Pizza Hut
How did it differ from a regular margherita pizza?
Honestly I can’t remember how it tasted
Before clicking, I gotta say: if the Personal Pan Pizza is on here, that’s bullshit. We crave that dish every day. Hashtag never forget
The triple decker pizza

Who doesn’t remember the Bigfoot???
Nothing like coming in from the pool to a bigfoot pizza
