Political Commentary On A Pizza Hut Sign?
By Chris Morran on November 29, 2011 10:15 AM

As you've probably heard, the longstanding rule that classifies 1/8 cup of tomato paste as a serving of vegetables in kids' school lunches — thus allowing a slice of pizza to qualify as a serving of veggies — was set to be changed, but political maneuvering recently scuttled that change. And not everyone is thrilled with that. More »

There is no national or international governing body that keeps track of how big a pizza is supposed to be. This is probably just as well, but Todd was still disappointed when he ordered a "Large" pizza from Pizza Hut and received a 13" diameter pie that left his party of three hungry. More »

Pizza Hut Cares, Offers Gift Card When You Misunderstand Survey

This is a story of a small thing going wrong during a pizza order, and a relatively small gesture from the company to make things better. No, it's not a large, earth-shattering problem. Jay took a survey on the Pizza Hut web site, and wasn't entered in the drawing that enticed him to take the survey in the first place. Why was that, he wondered? So he used some Consumerist resources and got on the phone. More »
Science Confirms In-N-Out Burger Is The Best And McDonald's The Worst

Almost a year ago, our survey-loving siblings at Consumer Reports asked several thousand readers to rate burgers from 18 burger chains and to no one's surprise, McDonald's came in dead last. Not satisfied with merely finding the best and worst beef-on-a-bun, CR decided to go for the super-sized option, rating 53 restaurants in five categories to find which ones provide the best food, service and value to customers.

Pizza Hut Put Kibosh On The Amazing Salad Towers Of China

Our post last week about "How To Game The Salad Bar" reminded commenter power lurker of the Chinese way of playing the game at Pizza Hut. See, in America when you tell people their salad bar is limited to one plate, they shrug because no American eats salad. But in China in the mid to late 2000's, they turned into a competition to see who can create the tallest and most elaborate salad tower. More »
The Worst Pizza Hut Ever Is Right Around The Block
By Laura Northrup on March 4, 2011 9:00 AM

CJ and his family have tolerated subpar service from a local Pizza Hut for years because of the convenience: this Pizza Hut is just a three-minute drive away from their house. Well, placing orders from this outlet should be convenient in theory, but his last delivery order was missing the ordered Que Papa potato bites, and somehow took much too long to show up, nearly everyone in the store claims to be a manager, and the delivery person took all of the cash CJ's son handed him instead of giving some change. Yet the story actually gets worse from there. More »

It's nothing new for a felonious fast food employee to sneak back into his place of work after hours to pilfer goods and cash. But for one staffer at a Minnesota Pizza Hut, the thing that lured him into late-night larceny was access to the restaurant's deep fryer. More »

Apparently, at one Nebraska Pizza Hut, complaining about a botched order makes you a bitch. When one customer called to complain about her order, she received a credit for free pizza. That pizza arrived with a special message on the receipt: "CAREFUL THIS GAL IS A BITCH." She chose not to eat the pizza that came with that message, afraid it had been tampered with.More »
Why Can't We Have The Nacho Whopper Or The McArabia Here In The U.S.?

Sure, here in these United States we've got a White Castle that will serve you noodles and a Burger King that makes a Whopper bigger than your head, but the grass is always greener — and the food always more interesting — on the other side of the fence, right? More »

It's been a bad year for the Colonel. People under 25 don't know who he is; the KFC franchisees are in a lawsuit with their corporate overseers, Popeyes beat KFC in a taste test and the company is paying college girls to advertise the Double Down on their butts. To make matters worse, KFC announced yesterday that U.S. sales continue to sink. More »

Online "marketing" company Webloyalty has settled with the New York AG for $5.2 mil. You know how when you buy movie tickets and at the end it says, "You won a free $10 gift certificate!" And then if you read the small print it says that if you accept the gift certificate you get signed up for a discount club that charges a monthly fee? Yeah, that was their game. More »

Looks like Domino's isn't the only chain that employs morons who make a public record of their jackassery in the kitchen. Two employees at a Pizza Hut in Pflugerville, TX, find themselves out of work because they not only took lewd photos of themselves messing around at work, but also posted them on MySpace. More »

A few months back, our men and women stationed overseas in Afghanistan lost a little piece of home when the U.S. military announced they were closing most fast food operations on the bases in Bagram and Kandahar. But now that the reins have been handed over from Gen. McChrystal to Gen. Petraeus, Stars & Stripes is reporting that our soldiers may get their Whoppers back! More »

While Domino's has scrambled to re-imagine their pizza recipes and Pizza Hut continues to basically give away their pizzas for a pittance, it was Papa John's who apparently made the best impression on eaters in the last year. The Kentucky-based chain has topped not only its pizzeria rivals, but all fast foods in an annual survey of customer satisfaction. More »
