When has anyone ever driven to a pizza hut? I remember do so as a child but now pizza hut seems like a definite delivery thing.

[–] Holyhandgrenade@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago (5 children)

I've literally never gotten Pizza Hut delivered. Maybe it's a Europe vs US thing but to me it's a sit-down restaurant.

[–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 10 months ago

In the US Pizza Hut was mostly a sit down restaurant until the 80s/90s when they started focusing more on delivery. Sometimes you can still find the sit down ones that have been there for 30+ years in rural areas because the land cost isn’t as big of a concern.

[–] Starbuck@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

They used to all be that way in the US too, but over the last few decades they have changed to all delivery

[–] ours@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

It's s different experience. One day colleagues decided to order Pizza Hut. It was raining she's they didn't want to go out. I opted to get a pizza at a restaurant instead.

I must admit here in Europe it's not common to order Pizza Hut. And it seems in our local shop they aren't used to doing it since I had the time to sit down and eat, walk back and my colleagues haven't had their delivery arrive yet. Could have been just bad luck.

The one in your town doesn't allow sit down since covid. Shame, the buffet was what I liked about it.

[–] Holyhandgrenade@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Yeah the Pizza Hut lunch buffet is a solid deal!

[–] vrek@programming.dev 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Must be a Europe vs us thing... Here it's been mostly delivery for over a decade

[–] dezmd@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

*2 decades. /so old now

[–] squiblet@kbin.social 13 points 10 months ago (1 children)

In the early 80s Pizza Hut used to be sort of like a normal restaurant... they usually had standalone buildings (which now have mostly been turned into other restaurants) rather than spots in strip malls, with a seating area. You could order a pizza or sandwiches and eat with your family, and they had a salad bar back when salad bars were kind of a hot trend. This persisted into the 2000s especially in smaller areas.

[–] vrek@programming.dev 3 points 10 months ago

That's what I remember from being born in mid eighties and grew up in the 90s

[–] mateomaui@reddthat.com 5 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I drive to a local one all the time for the carry out only special. There’s usually a line for pick up.

[–] finthechat@kbin.social 3 points 10 months ago

There used to be a PIzza Hut 5 minutes from my house. I would drive there to pickup to save on delivery costs.

However, they closed down and the closest one is an hour away... Not driving that far, lol.

[–] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 months ago

If I'm going to order pizza for delivery, pizza hut is one of the last places I'm going to choose.

[–] QuikxSpec@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Many small towns still have full service sit down pizza huts. Big for local schools.

[–] dan1101@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

I am way too cheap to pay for delivery so I always pick up or dine in.

[–] gregorum@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

the only time i ever went to a pizza hut was back in 80s as a kid to get my Book It! personal pan pizza.

[–] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I honestly thought they all closed down until my work ordered some like six months ago.

Until then I hadn't seen a restaurant or heard of anyone getting it delivered.

I just sort of assumed they went out of business or something.

Edit: even the pizza box looked like something from the past.
