After two years of avoiding buffets and salad bars, and indoor dining in general, during the week…read morebefore Christmas 2022, I braved the Pizza Hut lunch buffet. Pizza Hut, as a franchise, has very consistent pizza. If you like that, or just want a lot to eat at a fixed price, their buffet is for you.
The buffet had six pizzas from their normal menu, and a dessert pizza, plus breadsticks and sauce. They had cheese, pepperoni, ham and pineapple, chicken, and a supreme. Crusts - thin, hand tossed, and pan- as well as the pizza varieties changed as folks served themselves.
The salad bar had iceberg lettuce, and a variety of add ones like onions, peppers, cucumbers, celery, cheese, croutons, sunflower seeds, and bacon. I am sure there were more. They also had dressing choices like ranch, creamy Italian and French.
The crew kept the pizza coming and topped of the salad bar as needed. This Pizza Hut also has wings, but those were not on the buffet.
The buffet is from 11am to 1pm weekdays. At 1pm they turned off the lights on the buffet to make it clear it was over, but left the remaining pizza for customers to finish.
Waitstaff refill drinks, and while I didn't have any issues, I saw a few patrons had to flag someone down to get attention.
For under $10, a soda and all the pizza and/or salad you care to eat, in my book, it's a bargain, especially if you have a hungry teenager or kids back from college.
