Venue

Venue Inside

Some love Pizza Hut for childhood memories. Some love it for 90s nostalgia. Some simply love it and some don’t. The nations largest and most well-known pizza chain is put to the test. The location in Marion Iowa is directly next to a Dominos, right on the main strip in 7^th avenue. Indoor seating is limited so we ate it to go at one of our houses.

The Verdict

Sauce: The sauce was okay.

Cheese: The cheese dried quickly, and tasted artificial. Gross.

Crust: Many of the pizzas were oily, and therefore made for soaked spongy crust. I would advise to get the Hand Tossed Crust, because the Stuff Crust and the Pan were saturated. The crust was sweat, so they clearly added sugar to it, while brushing the rims with melted (fake?) butter.

Toppings: Average.

Final Comments/Considerations: I do not recommend Pizza Hut, unless you are in a rush, or you have kids who insist upon it (thanks for that Book It! reading program).

Here are our ratings, where 1 = worst and 10 = best.
