Pizza Hut UK

Ah, I can still hear that old childhood song featuring Pizza Hut. I daren't sing it allowed lest it haunt me all night for doing so, so I'll spare you the pain too and resist typing it down. Anyway. Pizza Hut.

What can I say? Of all the pizza places this one is my guilty favourite. I remember when I was younger my Mum refused to let me, my sister and brother from purchasing any fast food. We weren't allowed any McDonalds, KFC, Burger King - none of it. The only place we were treated to every once in a blue moon was Pizza Hut! Still today, it's the only 'fast food' style place that I'll allow myself to eat.

With a superior crispy base and delicious melty deep pan style pizza, why would you go anywhere else? They are on the pricey side, but not quite so rip-tastic as Dominos. Always the pepperoni on a traditional base. No fuss, no worries, just some tasty pizza. This particular branch does local delivery and takeaway!

Just had a delivery order from here (I would have ordered from El Faro's, the best pizza in Leeds, fact, but I didn't have cash and I'm lazy so leaving the house to visit a cashpoint wasn't a viable option). The website is ridiculously confusing - once I'd sorted out my 'basket' with its side orders and customised pizza, I had to register to use the online ordering system, which then resulted in the contents of my basket being deleted. Nice.


Ten minutes later though I was done, with my email confirmation saying it would be with me 'ASAP'. A very polite Pizza Hut driver named Scott called me about twenty minutes after this to check the address and get directions, and then he surprised me by buzzing the buzzer about thirty seconds later. Super speedy. Like Billy Whizz. Billy Whizza!


Anyhoo. The pizza should have been tasty because it should have had olives on it (among other things). But could I find any? Nope. None. Olives are my staple pizza ingredient, and I get most upset if I can't have them. I get more upset if I've paid for them already and they're missing.


So for that, Horsforth Pizza Hut, you lose one star, and Pizza Hut in general, you lose a star for having a stupid website.
