That's cheap! But as pizzas go, they are one of my least favorites. Oddly
some of my Italian inlaws really seem to like Pizza Hut. Husband included!

I occasionally order from Garlic Jim's. A large Gluten Free with extra of
all kinds of cheese and a medium specialty pizza runs me about $40. But
then food is a lot more expensive here in general than it is in PA. I did
order pizza there a couple of times from Pizza Hut and thought they made a
mistake on the price!

Just saw an ad on TV. Here it is $10 for two large. Not sure how many
topping though. I was only half paying attention.

If I were paying forty bucks for a pizza as you claim...I would be
paying very close attention!!

My niece worked at Pizza Hut and told us privately that they used imitation
cheese. That was over 15 years ago. I haven't had a Pizza Hut pizza since.

They're probably not the only pizza giant in that racket.

Most of the family owned pizza parlors around town still keep it real, a
badge of honor of a sort.

Andy

When pizza is that inexpensive, I'd expect them to be cutting corners
somewhere. I haven't had Pizza Hut pizza in at least that long, but
when we still did that sort of thing I thought they were pretty good
for a chain pizza.

I just saw another ad and the two medium, three toppings are $6 here too.

I had a roommate many years ago that worked at Pizza Hut. She didn't say
anything about imitation cheese but she did say not to eat there.

I'm going to pass up their offer. Aside from getting "blue in the face"
sick of all that pizza, I'd rather pay a little more for a little less
and put my money down at a local family owned pizza parlor.

I WAS tempted!

I always laugh at the dominose ad which is set in their make believe
"test kitchen" where they tell us something like "we know we always made
industrial cardboard crap "pizza" since we have been in business but now
we aren't going to do that anymore...

Just saw this expose coverage of a Dominos pizza video shoot?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stzmHm6eF-0

Then there's the showusyourpizza.com where customers are asked to
photograph their Domino's pizzas and submit it to that website to perhaps
win $500. Almost advertising enough to NOT buy Dominos pizza. Pretty crappy
photographs to match equally crappy pizzas.

And the employees arrested for contaminating the pizzas!

Just say "No" to Dominos.

Geez...

I haven't had their stuff in years. When I lived on Staten Island, it was
popular at kid's birthday parties because it was so cheap. It was so bad
that even the kids were complaining about it. I couldn't believe anyone
would buy it with all the good pizza around that didn't cost that much more.

Honestly, I've never knowingly eaten a Domino's pizza so I have no
idea how they taste - but I thought they got to be so big by
delivering pizza people liked.

Looks like a long winded commercial to me, not an exposé.

Crappy pictures; like you can do better? This one got my I want pizza
juices going.... http://www.showusyourpizza.com/pizzagallery/?id=16625

If wild stories told by a teenager can be believed, then it happened
at a local "not a chain" pizzeria too. The message here is "don't
order any delivery pizza from anywhere".

I didn't know I had said yes.

I sincerely doubt she thought it was crappy food before she took the
job. No teenager says "I hate the food, but I'll work there anyway".
That's not how they roll. Their thinking is more along the lines of
"Love the food, what a cool job". I think most teenagers tend to OD
on whatever food they're selling, so it's no surprise she didn't like
it after a while and she probably told her friends not to eat there
because they wanted freebies every time they showed up.

They video taped the incident and put it on youtube!

Here's the evening news covering it.

sf,

They got big by inventing pizza delivery in 30 minutes or it's free.
Went over big everywhere. Then the drivers began speeding deliveries to
"beat the clock" having car accidents.

Later they got more PR for the hot box that kept the pizza hot all the
way to it's destination.

The commissary distribution of ingredients ensured that a Dominos pizza
tasted identical in New York as in Texas as in Colorado, etc.

The conveyor oven didn't hurt business except among traditionalists.

I think they were pretty stupid to make a video and post it on the
internet and they were definitely too dumb to work in fast food
outlet. Thirty something and still working at that type of job is
saying they were going nowhere fast; and then they got their sorry
asses fired.

sf,

I worked at BK during summer in high school. I manned the burger
machine. The burgers would go through the oven on a conveyor belt and
the buns would toast on another belt. I'd grab the bun, open it and plop
a dripping in grrease burger on it top it and arrange them in a steam
warmer. The double burgers got placed on the "floor" of the steam warmer
so they didn't flatten the single patty burgers. If you ordered a double
whopper at 4pm, chances are it had been steam warming for hours and
hours.

To have it your way, an employee would grab a burger out of the steam
warmer, dress it as requested, wrap it up, microwave it back to hot/melt
cheese, and slide it down the serving slides.

When I got lunch, I'd run my frozen burger patties through the flame
broiler twice to cook out all the grease I could. My way was a double
whopper, plain, no nothing.

I was only in it for minimum wage.

Andy

Of course I agree, only, they were going nowhere very slowly!!!
