Were personal pan pizzas ever cut evenly?

I swear someone at the LSU Union used to butcher pies like this on purpose with all the tiny corners I got.

Pizza Hut was better in the late 70s/early 80s.

I love these threads.

The demise of almost any brick and mortar store seems like it sucks.

We are gonna get full circle. The brick and mortar stores will become warehouses for Amazon and WalMart. Eventually those warehouses will allow shoppers.

I remember getting to make our own pizzas at birthday parties in the early 80’s.


While you were making your pizza, I was getting my first kiss in that tiny corner booth. It was 1981. I was a 7yrs old. She ended up being a bipolar psycho.

Then you’re old enough to remember the salad bar at Pizza Hut back in the 80’s and 90’s.

The pizza hut near may house had the salad bar and pizza buffet up until covid. I assume it will be back after covid
That's what I was wondering. I can't think of any sit-down Pizza Hut restaurants left around the greater BR area. Everything is either a carryout/delivery store or part of a combined Taco Belch/KFC/Pizza Hut.

Late 1980s were good times for a teenage FCP hitting up the Denham Springs Pizza Hut--although Mr. Gatti's was a pretty solid deal as well with a nonstop buffet, video games, and that monstrosity of a projection TV in the corner.

Loved going after little league football and baseball in the 70’s and early 80’s.

Loved the free basketballs in the 90’s.

Mr. Gatti's

By far, the superior game room but worse pizza. It was like a toned down Showbiz.

Worked at Pizza Hut from 86-88. Me and my best friend laid out the delivery area because we knew how to get around better than the manager did. We grew up here and knew all the back road shortcuts; he was clueless.

Tupelo has 2 Pizza Hut sit down restaurants. There were 3 two months ago but covid shut one down and the building is for sale. All three had salad bar and buffet pre covid.

All the BR area pizza huts were owned by a franchisee that cut corners, hired the worst workers, stopped paying his franchise fees and basically ran them in the ground. All of them shut down for a while until other franchisees purchased some of them and they all went to take out.

Pizza Hut in Ruston had that buffet at lunch years ago when i did some time at TECH.

It was around $5.00 for all you could eat pizza and salad.

Probably the only meal I ate that day but I ate 20,000 calories
