Pizza Hut Couldn’t Make ‘Artisan’ Work, So Now It’s Stuffing Hot Dogs Into Crust

Pizza Hut's most frightening pie — with a crust that doubles as a hot dog — has been inching toward America for years (eight, to be exact), first invading South Korea, then infiltrating the U.K., and then Canada. The wait is over: Pizza Hut is finally inflicting hot-dog pizza upon the U.S., starting June 18. A more official reveal is surely coming, but for now, there's this promo flyer with a Venn diagram showing overlapping circles for "pizza" and "hot dog." Subtle.

Pizza Hut recently admitted that its massive millennial-focused brand overhaul was a flop: The logo changed, the website got redone, uniforms were redesigned ... but as the chain later found out, people didn't want pizza with Peruvian cherry peppers or honey sriracha. Greg Creed, CEO of Pizza Hut parent company Yum Brands, told investors that he's "obviously" not happy with the relaunch. As he explained: "We haven't been as effective as we'd like with our marketing, and need to balance its appeal to millennials with mainstream pizza customers." Enter hot-dog-stuffed pizza.

Enough with all of this ridiculousness. Give me a straight up New York style 16" with pepperoni. And make sure the sauce is not bland and tasteless.

i have seen this but still don't understand why you'd need a hotdog stuffed crust

:agreed:

But add good Italian sausage to mine with the pepperoni :tup:

In the states we call them chips. Your "chips" are our French fries.

so does Pizza Slut just go to the medical association and poll for the worst stuff to damage people's hearts? :lol:

I don't even like Pizza Hut pizza, they are dead last on my list of all the pizza chains.

[Hal-9000]

I have a whole list of places like Pizza Hut that never get my business....any places that measure toppings in grams and use chopped up meat that looks like dogfood, rather than real sausage slices...off the list.

Also, my idea of a good pizza is one with cheese on top. Not these naked, flat attempts with no cheese on the toppings that try to call themselves 'pizza'.

I order from a Greek place called Spiros. It's more expensive but they pile on fresh toppings and have 3 kinds of cheese on top :thumbsup:

There's a list of local places that we want to try, we just never think of it when we're out. When it comes to delivery using one of the chain stores, we usually go with Papa John's, best tasting and most consistent here. Next choice would be Dominos, they have improved a LOT (at least around here) and we like the variety of stuff they sell.

There's a new-ish independent place that opened not too long ago called Richie B's that we have been to a few times, pizza by the slice (which are GINORMOUS slices) the pizzas are the diameter of a tractor trailer truck wheel, and it's really good. They don't deliver, but they are worth going to for some good pizza.

[Hal-9000]

we never get delivery...always pick it up


and



the pizzas are the diameter of a tractor trailer truck wheel


:lol: :lol:

[Teh One Who Knocks]

You don't ever order pizza in? :shock:

[Hal-9000]

We order it but we have two capable drivers with separate vehicles...so delivery is a little redundant.


Spiros is 2.3 miles from our house.
