Pizza Hut

Okay, so I know that in the grand scheme of Unilocal’s Pizza Week I’ve done shockingly for many reasons, and this Pizza Hut was probably not what our CM had in mind. No check-​in or photos for this one because my phone died (for shame).
Unfortunately, to this day, Thursday’s Pizza Hut pizza was the only pizza I’ve had all week. And honestly, I am not completely ashamed, because in actual fact, the pizza was pretty good.
Let me tell you about it. It was cold, I had had a long, long day in the lab and I had only had a Petit Filous all day (why are they so small?!) and now we were stressed trying to find a winter coat for the Brazilian. We found one, but that didn’t change the fact we were hungry. Eventually we ended up deciding to go for Pizza Hut because none of us had had it in a while and they wanted the Buffet. Turns out, that Buffet is only on during the week and walking in at 9 pm, it wasn’t on anymore.
We sat down and we all chose our pizzas — I went for the 9 inch «Personal» Veggie Pan Pizza. N.B. the individual size for the pan pizzas is 9 inch and not 11 inch like it is for the flat based pizzas. The Veggie comes with onion, mixed peppers, mushrooms, sweetcorn, and fresh spinach. (the other pizzas that were ordered were a Meat Meltdown which has a BBQ base, and a Supreme, I think)
When you order a meal, you also get access to an unlimited salad bar for free. We also decided to go for the unlimited soft drinks machine — there are multiple flavours of Pepsi Max, normal Pepsi, Tango and 7 Up Free available to freely choose from.
As soon as we were given our salad bowls, we headed straight over and started loading up on free salad. I have to admit that the shredded carrots looked a little lackluster, but apart from that, everything else was surprisingly fresh, especially for the time of night we were there for. The Appendage loved the pasta salad, but the Amigo and I stayed clear of them. The drinks machine is quite incredible. My personal favourite has got to be the Pepsi Max with Lime, love it. Then I discovered Tango Cherry (I think that’s the one I had) and it honestly tastes like Haribo Tangfastics, so it’s not too sweet but it’s great.
Finally our pizzas arrived. I inhaled mine, even though our waitress assured us that we could take any leftovers home with us, and had I not been such an inordinate glutton, I would have. I enjoyed every single bite of my pizzas, the base was fluffy and the the vegetables were fresh and the spinach was actually green and wonderful. Even the mushrooms were fresh (which I am very pleasantly surprised by) and it all worked really well together. I am glad went for this particular pizza. A meal for less than 10 quid to leave stupidly stuffed, really isn’t a bad deal.
A big shout out goes to our wonderful waitress Lynne R, who was an absolute legend and super friendly. If i hadn’t been so tired and cold and full I would have offered to help her tidy and clean up the restaurant so she could go home earlier than half past midnight.
So even though Pizza Hut will not ever count as proper pizza, especially during Pizza Week, I can say that should I be back at the Fort, I might actually return.

This was my first ever experience of a Pizza Hut, for some reason the idea never seemed to appeal to me heading to one of these places.
There is a good menu to choose from but there is also a £12.99 set menu that you could also choose from that is better value.
Choose a starter, main course and a drink and have as much salad from the salad bar as you want.
The salad bar area was ok but nothing special, I ordered the chicken to start that resembled cheap processed chicken nuggets that had a squirt of bbq sauce on, they where passable but I would send them back if I was paying the price that was stated on the menu, just not good value.
The pizza looked like something that I pulled out from deep within my freezer that had been there for several years (my freezer is empty by the way) the pizza just lacked in any flavour & l had to smother it to an inch of its life with lots of tomato sauce for any taste.
The drinks where good but it was all Fanta or Pepsi with added flavours such as Strawberry, lime, cherry or lemon.
The food was overall eatable but I certainly wouldn’t go out of my way to come back to a Pizza Hut.
