Not really pizza and certainly not fast food.
I haven't been to Pizza Hut in years. Pretty much any local pizzeria is cheaper and better tasting but the Cheez-It Pizza was something my daughters wanted to try so against my better judgment, I said "why not?". Well... Let me tell you why not...
Upon walking in, you see what could be a decent looking establishment, but it's not really well taken care of. A couple tables were dirty. They had holders on each table that held nothing at all. Some tables had parmesan cheese, other didn't. Then there was this blob of people at the cash register. It wasn't real clear how I should approach the register and order. We ordered "for here" and were hearing 20-25 minutes being told to everyone.
We picked a table and proceeded to watch as people who came in after us ordered there and got their food. One table seemed to get multiple courses before we even got anything. A father and daughter got there 10 minutes after us and got half their order before us.
After 35 minutes I walked up to ask. The guy in the back seemed friendly enough, he looked at my receipt, then at the orders and goes "oh, it'll be another 10 minutes." I told him I need them to change it to a to-go order now as we were out of time and had to leave.
11 minutes went by (I know I'm sounding petty, but 46 minutes for fake pizza is beyond ridiculous), and out comes a woman bringing a pizza to the father daughter couple. She put it down on their table they looked at it and said it wasn't theirs. So she walked it back to the kitchen, asked a few questions then brought it out to us. I had to tell them again that I needed it to go as we waited wait too long. She went back to the back, boxed that up and got the other pizza we ordered brought it out and then asked for our receipt saying she would have our money refunded.
For a moment, they almost had me. Nice gesture initiated without my having to ask. Ok, it was busy, maybe I won't be so mad... Well no good deed goes unpunished. So I give her the receipt and wait a bit, then she asks me to go up to the counter. She handed the guy behind the register my receipt, but he kept calling other customers up. I finally walked out sans-refund.
Literally a case of "Sorry you waited so long, let's make you wait even longer in a futile attempt to right our wrong."
So how was the "pizza"? It's Pizza Hut Pizza. It was edible. The Cheez-It pizza was interesting. More like a hot pocket than an actual pizza. Regardless of the poor experience, just going by food quality alone, I'd still put Domino's and Little Caesars ahead of them in the category of fast-food pizza.
I can proudly say that I will never even consider attempting Pizza Hut again and I highly recommend you make the same choice. You can probably get better service at the sketchy motel right next door than you will at this joint.
