Pizza Hut is Pizza Hut is Pizza Hut. If you're looking at a review, chances are you know what Pizza Hut's food tastes like. If not, I'll sum it up quickly: it's pizza, and the business is quite successful, so it must taste quite nice at least.
I've always found this Pizza Hut on St. Mary's Street to be quite soulless. With Pizza Express next door looking all pristine and polished, sneering at poor greasy Pizza Hut, you kind of get the impression that this Pizza Hut is standing on its tiptoes to try and look as impressive as its neighbour. And it's kind of sad.
I seem to have unnecessarily high demands for my fast food pizza joints (my last Pizza Hut review talked about intimacy, like I was reviewing the restaurant at the top of the Eiffel Tower, for crying out loud) but whilst the other Pizza Hut in the city centre is a unique and charming restaurant that plays to the strengths of its location, this is a restaurant that has lost its identity.
Pizza Hut, listen closely. You're a fastfood restaurant for people who want to hang out and eat greasy pizza for low prices and have no pretensions towards classiness. So be that. Don't worry about the sneers of the Pizza Express crowd; they're all dead inside anyway. You've got soul, Pizza Hut. You've got heart. You don't need to slick your hair back and charm the punters with your fancy clean windows. You've got personality to do that for you. read more
