Pizza hut was KING back in my childhood. these days ordering one is like russian roulette! you never know if it'll come out good or bad. for four weeks pizza hut has come up top. the dough was made different, (which was good) less grease. but the 5th time it was just aweful!

so dominos was the pizza we eat. but the best pizza i've tasted was a place in dallas called JOE'S PIZZA. which was the same place my mall had before they moved out, thus their pizza tasted like childhood.

other than that, i'm glad pizza hut will promote the movie. i've been tempted to order myself a pizza hut pizza. but the thing is they have them for 11$ when it used to be 10....

There is no Pizza Hut where I live, don't think they even exist in my country ( like KFC )
But hen I studied in the UK, there was a local Hut, and it was amazing. Also was the better fair priced restaurants as the usual stuff was either KFC, Macdonalds or the local grease pizzerias. Seriously, the Main Street had like five take-away pizzerias wall to wall, and several other junk food joints.

I miss the cheesy bits crusts they had.

A great Pizza Hut commercial would be a two minute long video of Mikey just eating pizza, just eating, nothing else.

Pizza Hut has the edge in the UK too. Never experienced Little Caesars, and somehow glad I haven't .

I feel like both Dominoes and Pizza Hut have changed durastically over the years, and not for the better. They seemed to have joined the culture of value meals, which is very "fast food".

In my opinion, Round Table has done the best at not going the corporate direction, but their pizza is also more expensive than Pizza Hut and Dominoes at this point.

With that being said though, i still have a place in my heart for Pizza Hut and remember the good old days of the personal panned pizza. I would like to see Pizza Hut do the promo, and agree Little Ceasars would be the worst.

There seems to be alot of negativity towards Pizza Hut in this thread. Wonder why.

I went there a couple of weeks ago and the pizzas are fine.

Around me the main pizza parlors are either Domino's, Bravo Pizza, and once in a while, Pizza Hut.

Also there are a lot of the parlors around PA that have the name 'Antonio's.' Don't know if they are a chain though, or if many places just like the name because it sounds 'Italian.'

Pizza has been such a shtick for the TMNT for so long now I was wondering which national chain would get the bid for product placement. As far as national chains go I think Pizza Hut is okay. There's better local/regional stuff, but it's better than Dominos, Little Ceasars, or Papa Johns IMO.

I also still have all the Land Before Time puppets. They are fantastic. The Pizza Hut restaurants around here still have very good pizza. More people sit down then order out from them. Must just be a regional thing. There is only one Pizza Hut in my area that doesn't have a sit down section. All the others have been remodeled and are pretty great.

They use the freshest ingredients and I know this because I have Pizza Hut to compare to as i work there. My favorite papa john's pizza is the works or for Pizza Hut it would be super supreme. On the works Pizza I can taste everything and it is all fresh. Then the sauce, I like sweet sauce and their stuff rules, it tastes just like my mom's homemade spaghetti sauce, yum. Now I'm hungry.

Personally I do not mind Pizza Hut being TMNT's sponsor, it is a nationally recognized and if you want to make sure turtle fans hear about the movie, then what better way than through a famous food franchise.

With the previews thus far and character design I cant say I was all that thrilled for the new movie. But for me personally seeing Pizza Hut's involvement has peaked my interest.

Around here the Pizza Chains rank (which I would never normally order from, except Pizza Hut in the 80's it was the bomb).

1. Pizza Hut
2. Little Caesars ( I know they are typically horrible but there Pizza at this new location down the street is solid, im sure it will go downhill)
3. Papa Johns (was great, but they currently cant make a pizza, maybe the crew IDK)
4. Dominos (even worse then Papa Johns)

The Pizza Hut's around here are all just grease. Little Caesar's was my favorite as a kid, but they're hard to find. Domino's is just ok and I don't care much for Papa John's even though I know people that just love it. To me it's always just a bunch of air bubbles in the crust and very little toppings to it.

That would be both weird and fantastic - therefore, totally awesome.

Psh... I'm ok with those 'brand' names around my area, but my favorite is a regional place in the DE/PA/NJ/MD area. I feel no loss not being New York or Chicago. lol

I still have my Sharpooth puppet from The Land Before Time. As far as I know that's the only Sharptooth merchandise/figure he really had so I like having that since he's one of my top three (if not first) villains in animated movies. Good ol' Pizza Hut.

I love Pizza Hut's super supreme, pan crust, so going there to eat a few of those and pick up some TMNT stuff would be awesome.

Remember the commercial for Pizza Hut before the 1990 film on the VHS? The little league game and kids eating pizza? Man, that always got me pumped for tmnt for some reason.
