Pizza Hut is giving a 20% discount on all orders placed via its new iPhone app. We found a user review on YouTube, and he likes it. Beyond the usual app gimmickry, pinching a pizza to make it smaller or larger and shaking the phone to make wings spicey, it also has the excellent function of storing all your coupons for easy use.

—>The new Pizza Hut social media intern has her first assignment, and it's to give out codes for free stuffed pizza rolls to the company's followers on Twitter and Facebook. Let's hope they've planned ahead better than KFC did. [Mashable] (Thanks, David!) More »

—>Want to provide some feedback to Yum! Brands, the company behind KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Long John Silver's, and A&W Restaurants? No matter how old you are—they go back as far as Jan 1st, 1906—they'll tell you that you're too young to use the "Contact Us" part of their website. Yum! is in it for the long haul, and they don't need a bunch of jibber-jabber from hooligans like you. More »

—>Pizza Hut is testing a new type of pizza in Florida and Texas. It's called the 'Natural Rustica' and according to Brand Republic, the pizza features "sauces made from organic tomatoes and toppings without artificial preservatives. To enhance its premium credentials, the range is made from a multi-grain crust of traditional pizza dough and wholegrain infused with honey and olive oil." Honey? Anyway, Domino's must like this idea because they've trademarked the "Natural Rustica" name in the UK. More »
—>Pizza Hut called Danielle a liar for trying to redeem a promotional coupon they emailed to her and displayed prominently on their website. In exchange for completing an offer from TrialPay, Danielle should have received two free medium pizzas, one with toppings, plus breadsticks. Instead, her favorite pizza place told her, "M'am, you're lying about what the coupon promised." More »
—>Pizza Hut apologized for sending an unsolicited marketing email by sending an unsolicited apology email. We've all accidentally hit send without ending the world, but the pizza-maker's flub is all the more egregious because they force customer who place orders online to opt-in to spam marketing. According to Pizza Hut, the error occurred while "testing new functionality." More »
—>Here's a lovely little story from our friends down in Bellbowrie, Australia. It seems that they have a Pizza Hut in Bellbowrie, and that Pizza Hut has cockroaches. Lots of cockroaches. So many cockroaches, in fact, that it baked one alive into a meatlovers pizza. More »
—>Junk food connoisseurs will be elated to learn that according to Fox 5, Yum! Brand restaurants are now restocking tomatoes after the recent salmonella outbreak which has forced many restaurants to take them off the menu. Federal officials say that the outbreak has sickened 277 people nationwide. The Yum! Brand restaurants include Taco Bell, KFC, Pizza Hut, A&W and Long John Silver's. This article does not imply, however, that their food alone won't make you sick. More »
—>Whether you're trying to get as much of your Yum! Brand food into your mouth as humanly possible or just not in the mood to raise those heavy old arms to feed yourself, new wearable feed bags are functional, fashionable and sweeping the nation.

—>A Pizza Hut delivery driver with a valid handgun permit has been fired after he shot an armed robber who put a gun to his head and demanded he turn over his cash. Now an Iowa state senator is calling for a boycott of Pizza Hut:
"You tell me any Iowan that was in his situation, that had a gun put to his head, how they would've reacted differently," state Sen. Brad Zaun of Urbandale said. "I think it's the wrong decision by Pizza Hut and I will not be buying any more Pizza Hut products."Pizza Hut says it's against company policy for delivery drivers to carry guns, even with a valid permit.

—> When you place an order on Pizza Hut's website, you have to create an account, and to create an account, you have to check the box that says you agree to their privacy policy and terms of use. It also says, "I agree to receive information about Pizza Hut®/WingStreet® couons, promotions, announcements, events and specials." This e-commerce blogger is amazed that Pizza Hut would resort to such a sneaky tactic, which ultimately ruins the customer experience and probably costs them online orders. More »

She knew action was needed when when her kids, who weren't old enough to read, stopped in front of the bleach while shopping to ask the advertiser's dream question: "Mom, aren't we going to buy some Clorox?" Hit the jump to see how she responded. More »

—>Pizza Hut has declared that cheese is a topping, meaning that plain pizzas and pies with one topping will now cost the same. The chain's declaration comes in response to the rising price of block cheddar, the light sweet crude of the cheese market. Pizza Hut buys 300 million pounds of cheese each year.
Jennifer Little, a Pizza Hut spokeswoman, said the new strategy is to treat cheese "almost like an extra topping." Little said the price change also could be justified because a typical cheese pizza has about 50 percent more cheese than a similar-size pie with one topping, such as pepperoni.Papa John's has no plans has no plans to treat cheese like a topping; the Pizza Hut rival hedged its cheese supply, guaranteeing steady prices through the summer. — CAREY GREENBERG-BERGER More »

There was that internal bleeding discovered last year around the time she was filming Employee of the Month; doctors found the presence of the little bugger thought to cause ulcers. Recently, Simpson tells me, after she was still feeling not quite right, an allergist delivered news that would chill the heart of anyone reared on Texan cuisine: She's allergic to cheese. And wheat. Oh, and tomatoes...Cheese and tomatoes and wheat? Yes, Jessica Simpson has ulcers, and pizza gives her internal bleeding. —MEGHANN MARCO More »
We tallied the average costs of some key elements of a first date: alcohol (specifically, a 1.5 liter bottle of Livingston Cellars, Gallo Chablis or Chenin Blanc wine), food (a 11- to 12-inch pizza from Pizza Hut), entertainment (an evening movie ticket), grooming (a barbershop visit), suiting up (a dry-cleaning bill) and transportation (price per gallon of gasoline). All categories were weighted equally (though price differences in barbershop visits and dry cleaning tended to be greater than those in gas and pizza). Finally—call us old-fashioned—we assumed that the guy pays, hence the barbershop visit instead of a trip to the beauty salon.Gallo and Pizza Hut? Awesome. We guess that saves money by ensuring that there will not be a second date. More »

The 2006 Deloitte report on gift cards is out, and it's official. Gift cards are the single most popular gift this holiday season. But are they a good buy? Sort of. It seems that due to consumer pressure, and FTC pressure, stores are improving their customer service/disclosure of fees when it comes to gift cards. But that doesn't meant there aren't still a lot of problems. The Montgomery County, Maryland, Office of Consumer Protection which assesses dozens of cards annually, has released their 2006 report. The report evaluates 40 different gift cards, looking for things like whether or not the card can be replaced if lost or stolen, whether the cards have an expiration date, and whether fees are assessed to the card's balance. Basically, you want to avoid the following cards: More »

The survey rated national pizza chains on " food quality, service, convenience, cleanliness, value, atmosphere, menu variety and reputation." The competition? Pizza Hut scored highest in the "atmosphere" category, but lost to Papa John's in everything else. More »
Jillian writes in to tell us about a strange experience she had with a local Pizza Hut. After being put on hold for quite some time, Jillian's husband (being the comedian of the family) told a hilarious joke that had them all in stitches for at least 6 seconds. It was at this exact moment that Matt, manager of the Pizza Hut, picked up the phone. Did Matt want to be let in on the joke? No. No, he did not. More »
—>The best thing that one can say about this story — in which a pizza gourmand found a cockroach cooked into the cheese of his Pizza Hut pizza pie — is that Pizza Hut found the topping completely unacceptable. Domino's, on the other hand, would have simply initiated a marketing push to define the topping as the unique ingredient of a new California style pizza. More »
