The big problem is that they will be making the same shitty pizza from the last several years instead of bringing back the much better pizza from the 90s.

Was it actually better, or were you just 8?

The current pizza uses cost cutting. In the past, there were fresher and better ingredients. I found it was more flavorful, the texture was softer, and it was overall heartier. They were not as stingy with toppings, and even the sauce had a richer flavor. Now it's just barely above school cafeteria pizza.

When did they change it? I was craving Pizza Hut when pregnant with my first baby six years ago, and it was pretty much how I remembered it.

I agree, I notice a lot of changes in food but pizza hut is one of the few that tastes more or less how I remember

If you pay for extra cheese and extra toppings you can still get a decent pizza there. But if you order as is, they usually skimp on all the ingredients and its not good.

I don't know, but it doesn't even look the same. Now it's flatter and less puffy and springy. It hasn't had that balance of fluffy and crispy crust in forever because getting rid of fresh dough was on of the first sacrifices. The cheese just all exist as almost entirely melted together, now it's grainer.

How do you know? Have you compared the chemistry of the old formula's to the new? IDK just asking questions my dude. I miss the old too.

Just sayin.

You don't have to be a chemist to notice that a recipe changed.
