Oh Pizza Hut

[arobb]

Huger huge!

Home team was a staple of mine until I mixed it with PBR and Rumpleminze one night. My dorm carpet in Friley was never the same...

I loved Minsky's when I was in Ames and Rocky's Pizza in Iowa Falls when I was in high school.

There was a Little Caesar's on the East Side of Des Moines in the mid 1990's. It was great. We moved and didn't have it again for 15 years. Now it's like cardboard. No taste at all.


My vote Scornovacca's on the East Side.

Only reason I keep going back is for the stuffed crust.

Jeff’s pizza with some smotherella sticks was the go to in school.

I do Pizza Hut buffet every once in awhile for lunch. It’s actually pretty decent and is under 7 bucks with a water.

This.

You could literally create a coupon on the fly when you ordered, and they didn't even bat an eye.

"HomeTeam Pizza, what can I get you?"
"Yeah, I've got a coupon for 3 single topping pizzas for $5"
"Each?"
"No, total."
"Ok, what else?"
"And also I get breadsticks for a dollar."
"It says that on the coupon?"
"Yeah"
"Ok, anything else?"
"Yeah, in the fine print it says that I get a free two liter of soda if you can't tell me the capital of Turkmenistan."
"Ummm... Balkanabat?"
"No, I'm sorry it's Ashgabat. Sierra Mist, please."
"Ok, well your total is 6 dollars. Make sure to give the coupon to the delivery driver."
"Aww, dang! It's an online coupon, and I don't have a printer!"
"Ok, don't worry about it. It should be there in 30 minutes."

-barely an exaggeration.

The most impressive thing about this made-up example was that the employee did know of a city in Turkmenistan, just not the right one!

Not sure about all he Dominoes but he one near me remodeled, like their commercials show, and it’s way better than Pizza Hut.
It’s bright, clean, I can see the counter and what they are doing.

Am I weird that like the Hut's thin crust? I like pizza, but I like to eat a bunch, so I tend to stick with thin crust to keep the Cals down.

I can get frozen pizzas at the store that are better than Pizza Hut

Screamin Sicilian makes a great frozen.

HyVee had them as a fuel saver item a while ago, and now I can never go back.

Home Team didn't employ no dullards.

 

[CtownCyclone]

Home Team Pizza. Never forget.

I was never sicker the day after than I was after eating Home Team. Either it was because the pizza was that bad, or the fact that I only got it when I had consumed way too much Keystone, I'm not sure.


Gumby's, now that was the ****.

Am I the only one who really like the Pizza hut Thick crust? Perfect texture and taste.

I find the buffet pizza is meh, but the actually order/carry out is not bad. It seems that since they've joined the bargain price pizza war their ingredients/toppings are a bit sparse.

 

[Brandon]

Anyone else get one of these emails? I've now received two.

Sorry we got there too early. Let us make it up to you with a FREE Large Pizza.

You then log in and realize you have to spend at least $10 for deliveries.

Pizza hut sucks

Interesting you mention this, because when I was younger Pizza Hut was not the lowest pizza. I would have described it as higher end fast pizza. Now not so much.

Home Team was the best. So cheap and I loved the sausage dispersed all over the pizza. Remember when Home Team allowed you to graffiti all over the place? It was dark and nasty in there. Then they had it cleaned up.

Jeff's is very good. It opened after I was out of school (I think), but it is a solid slice.

 

[Brandon]

You could pretty much do this same thing with Gumbys. We always ended up with the monster Pokey Sticks for free.

What did you do with the pokey sticks???

Never heard of Home Team

Never heard of Home Team

It was only regional I think, but it was in Ames and the surrounding area at least. I never heard of it till college.
