Reading the comments tells me that most people here do not appreciate exactly how far Pizza Hut fell. For many Gen-X's 1980's Pizza Hut was peak dining. The pizza was buttery deliciousness with full table service like a fancy restaurant, complimentary salad bar for my mom, fancy booths or tables, mood lighting for the folks on a date, and a video game arcade. Going to Pizza Hut was an event. I tried Pizza Hut again in the 2010's and vowed to never attempt to soil my memories like that ever again.

Remember the book-it pizza thing?

Oh man that was the best

They still do this actually. Not quite as cool as when we were kids, but my son brought home a coupon last year for his pizza!

My kid's school still does Book It but our closest Pizza Hut doesn't have personal pan pizzas. So they give us a small pizza instead. It's just not the same.
