The keyword there being "Temporarily".. It's just an advertising campaign to bring awareness to the fact that they're not just about the Pizzas.. I for one never knew they did pasta.. .. ... .. But if I walk into a Pizza Hut, I'm not going to get a pasta!

Hmmm... That's going to be interesting sales figures... I would choose Pizza rather than Pasta.

Bleh, that place made nasty pizzas, and I'm sure that their pasta is mostly made with the same ingredients. Whatever they're called, I'm not ordering. A pretty odd marketing idea though.

I use to hate pizza hut in the day. You could always hold up a slice of their pizza and watch the GREASE drip off of it. But I have ate there since then, more recently tho. And its a lot better than I remember. Still not the best but good none the less. Now I knew they were starting to offer pasta. But did not know they were going to be that serious about them. Heck there isnt a pizza hut around in my area any more. The last one shut down. Does that say something about pizza hut?

Pizza Hut is usually a bit thin on the sauce and the toppings are chunked rather than diced, which I definitely don't prefer but they've done market research, so it's not my favorite, but it'll do. Grease dripping off is the sign of a good pizza, btw. Love the grease. Their meaty marinara rotini pasta is rather good, IMO. I haven't tried the others and probably never will because they don't sound appealing in the least.

I just buy the frozen one's from the supermarket... They're a lot cheaper, and taste just as good. The only time I will go to Pizza Hut, is if a group of people go with me. Then we all chip-in. |

Good ingredients is what makes a good pizza. I can EASILY throw together a pizza with the cheapest ingredients and make it greasy enough to clog your arteries. That doesnt mean its good, IMO. For me its a good sauce and good pepperoni! I havent tried their pasta's yet. I might ONE of these days...dunno. Oh and I was wrong. There is one more pizza hut left in my area. For got about it. Dunno why tho because we use to get their pizones all the time from that store. Now that is a good over grown pizza roll! Their Pizones! OMG. I could eat them all day long!

 But if I walk into a Pizza Hut, I'm not going to get a pasta! The prices in Pizza Hut, I'm not even going to get a pizza!

As far as I remember about 2 years ago was the last time I bothered to go there. I the tab reached about £60-ish. That was for a group of 5 people. |
