There was Domino’s 2 blocks from my old apartment. I called them for a delivery but was told I had to call a different Domino’s because they had ‘zones’ and I wasn’t in their’s. TWO BLOCKS FROM MY APARTMENT and I am not in their zone. I never called again. ---

I haven’t had Pizza Hut pizza in years. Seriously, like 20 years. It used to be pretty good - I remember we’d go to those restaurants too. You can always tell the restaurants that used to be a Pizza Hut. Well, you could, anyway. Not sure if they’re so distinctive any longer. ---

> [@Larry\_Mudd](#): > > It must have went to hell faster around here (Vancouver, B.C.) than it did wherever you are. I remember enjoying Pizza Hut when I was a kid, but twenty years ago Pizza Hut had already changed over to repulsive plastic cheese 24-25 years ago I worked for Godfather’s for a few months, and then worked for Pizza Hut for a few months. At Godfather’s, we started with big blocks of real mozzarella cheese, which we grated ourselves, in-house. At Pizza Hut, the “mozzarella” came pre-grated and frozen in a box. We took turns as to who got to stand in the back breaking it up so that it was usable. At both places the cheese was added last, after the other toppings. At Godfather’s, we placed the un-cheesed pizza on a scale, zeroed the scale, and then added the cheese by weight. At Pizza Hut, we had little plastic cups, one for each size pizza, with which we scooped up the appropriate portion of cheese and sprinkled it over the pizza. At Godfather’s, we lubed the pizza pans by scooping solid shortening with a paper towel and then wiping a very thin coating on the inside of the pan. At Pizza Hut, we lubed the pans by pouring vegetable oil in them. > [@Dewey\_Finn](#): > > Part of the problem is that the dough layer is just too thick. I guess this is a personal thing for me, but I’ve never understood the appeal of that thick-ass pizza crust. A crust that thick fills you up with bread, and you can therefore eat _less_ pizza. A thin crust _doesn’t_ fill you up with bread, and you can therefore eat _more_ pizza, which is a good thing. Of course, I look at pizza crust the same way I look at sandwich bread: it’s there to hold the toppings/fillings, not to be the focus of the pizza/sandwich. A good crust/bread can _enhance_ the overall product, but it shouldn’t be the _point_ of the finished product. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/wtf-pizza-hut/588374.md?page=3)
