    1. Sad is it not. The SA really disappointed this member and supporter to to the extent that I will never go back. Truth is not something you back away from.

      1. For the first time in decades I walked past Salvation Army kettles last Christmas without donating. I’m done.

  3. Oh well, what can you expect? After all, the NFL stadiums are still full post-kneeling. So what message does that send to businesses that are contemplating whoredom?

    1. That piece on Pizza Hut was full of awesomeness.
      Put down after put down in every paragraph.
      The writer should be a comedian, had me laughing the whole read.
      What’s not to like when they accuse the Hut of hate crimes against Italians based on the cardboard facsimile ” pizza ” misrepresented as authentic Italian cuisine.
      Truth is funny.
      Too bad the propaganda from the Hut is deadly serious.

      First and last time I ever set foot in a Hut was 42 years ago.
      Was just a bad then as I am sure it is now.
      Never saw the appeal of it.

      1. I winced when he described a pizza looking like a dachshund run over by a garbage truck. I’m sure my canine step-brother (a short-haired miniature dackel) wouldn’t approve.

      2. All I can say is that Pizza Hut knows their customer base … and it sure isn’t functional white people. Blacks, browns, and wiggers. People who consume crap … for body and brain.

  4. I agree with the sub-headline about that outfit’s pizzas being lousy. I never really liked them.

    Domino’s used to be my favourite when it still kept to its promise of 20 (or was it 30?) minutes or less delivery time. Then one of its drivers got into a traffic accident some 20 or so years ago, along with some legal wrangling, and the company stopped that. After that, the quality of its pizzas declined (on par with what PH produced, becoming like, as the author said, charred cardboard) and, eventually, I gave up ordering them.

    1. The quality of restaurant food is getting worse as prices for raw materials increase and they try to not reduce the size of servings or increase prices as much as possible.
      Meals with beans or rice or pasta will increase in popularity.
      Grocery food is different, packaging amounts are reducing. Cheese slices are no longer 24 for example. A box of cereal has a hard time standing upright as the width is so narrow now.

    2. My last taste of cardboard pizza was about 4 years ago. The last franchise I bought from was Pizza-Pizza. At first, I thought the concoction was edible, but that first experience must have been a fluke, because… and I’ll stop there.

      There’s a Pizza Hut franchise not far from me. My last visit there was an experience. Over-priced pizza that tasted worse than the box I would have had if I had ordered take out. During that experience, the restaurant was empty, and so was the parking lot. I drive by there occasionally, and the parking lot is barren. A Starbucks opened up next door, and the drive-through lane is bumper-to-bumper, sometimes right back out onto the street, so you can’t blame the PH poor business on the location.

      1. There was a PH about 15 minutes walk from where I live. It closed several years ago and, the last time I checked, it was a Sobey’s liquor store.

        When I was a lot younger, I spent a lot of money on delivery pizza because I either saw the associated restaurants or I heard the ads on the radio. You name the chain, I ordered from them. Domino’s eventually became the one I called the most but, as I mentioned earlier, I became dissatisfied with its pizzas.

    3. @B A Deplorable – Agreed PH is the worst pizza of the chain store variety. My favourite has always been Boston Pizza although you need a bank loan in advance to order one these days (*full disclosure also have shares**currently has a 6.3% div yield). For Albertan’s Papa John’s and Busters are better alternatives than Domino’s, although Busters makes a better Donair than its pizza IMO.

      1. My disenchantment with PH might have begun with its ad campaign for its stuffed crust pizzas, featuring Ivana Trump, about 30 years ago. My parents visited me at the time and my father, who had been charmed by those ads, insisted on ordering some of them.

        We were underwhelmed.

  5. Pizza Hut ——>Yum!Brands Inc. ——–>(Largest institutional investor) Blackrock – 24,000,000 shares

  6. Pizza Hut isn’t going to lose me as a customer over this. I already stopped eating there years ago (a decade?) because the pizza was consistently terrible.

    1. I’ve been long gone, as well. Probably about the same period, around a decade. My beef was wait times. Order a pizza for pickup, tell you 25 minutes & 45 minutes later you’re still in the store waiting.

      Called up the Western Canadian office, read them the riot act, they told me that they were implementing some sort of centralized ordering system that was going to “fix all that”. I told him to save their money, ’cause the smart people had already moved down the street.

  7. The only way to stop the corporate scumbags is to stop buying their stuff.
    And telling other people to stop the same.
    There are a lot of alternatives that don’t feed the bullshit.

  9. Oh look another Pizzagate, the “woke” will never let the children alone.

    Regardless Pizza Hut has always sucked as an actual Pizza, I honestly don’t think I’ve ever ordered one, but have had plenty on business order in lunches. Last on my list of pizza anyway.

  10. Pizza Hut is still mostly under Pepsi Company. And, you will recall, Pepsi changing their logo after the election of Obama to reflect his campaign symbol.

    Eventually, a competitor is going to realize that they could steal the market share of these ideologues by taking an apolitical stance and using it in their advertising…

    IE “Hi, we’re ___________ Cola. We make refreshing drinks….for everyone. We don’t do politics. Enjoy.”

  12. Pizza Hut was decent when they had dine-in restaurants in the 70’s. Deteriorated quickly in the 80’s and 90’s.
    Frank Vetere’s, now that was pizza. Heavy and greasy plus cheap beer. Today, independent is your best bet.

  13. PH used to be good but they deteriorated when they improved their recipe to placate health freaks. The best pizza used to be Boston Pizza which had a hole in the wall take out on Jasper Avenue in Edmonton. Heavy, loaded and greasy it was delicious. Today pretty much chains are tasteless cardboard. I agree that local small pizza shops might be the only hope today, maybe.

    1. “The best pizza used to be Boston Pizza which had a hole in the wall take out on Jasper Avenue in Edmonton. Heavy, loaded and greasy it was delicious.”

      Back in 1970 or so, we used to stagger down Whyte Ave. (Edmonton) on our way home and fall into one of the very first Boston Pizzas on 109St. Apparently it’s still there. Boston Pizza has 1/2 inch of the gooiest and greasiest cheese loaded with an obscene amount of topping. Four drunks could bloat themselves on a medium. They had perfected the pizza.

      What is Boston Pizza like today? A cardboard frisbee painted with spackle that has a faint cheese taste.

      1. During my undergrad days in the 1970s, the Whyte Avenue BP was a favourite hangout and, yes, they made good pizza in those days.

        I have to agree with you about what BP made in more recent times.

  14. Isn’t Pizza Hut built on genocide and slavery? Likely vastly over-represented by Black people earning minimum wage. They should love being minimum wage slaves to the Man.

    1. @Edward Teach – agreed. We order Pizza maybe once a year out of convenience, otherwise either make our own from scratch (the best) or buy one of those cheap grocery store “ready-made” and then build it up with our own extra ingredients. Overall maybe around 3 – 6 pizza’s a year.

      1. For years, I would buy a frozen pepperoni pizza along with a handful of mushrooms, which I’d slice and use as a topping. Not only was it a lot cheaper than having one delivered, but it was a lot better than what I could get from a chain.

    1. Yup, remember it well, along with Boogie’s Burgers on Edmonton Trail, all fresh even used homemade ketchup.

  19. The training materials intended for use in the classroom want teachers to ask 10-year-olds, “How often have you thought about your race in the last 24 hours?”

    You know who thinks about race constantly? Racists!
    White Supremacists, Black Supremacists, Neo-Nazis, La Raza, Nation of Islam, KKK, and every other Race Supremacist group.

  20. We have a local mom and pop pizza outlet that delivers. Great pizza, and great owners, Italian!

  21. Haven’t bought at Pizza Hut in several years, it’s just not as good as the competition.
    That said, companies embracing these social trends deserve to lose the revenues from the 75% of the population they believe are okay with their offensive abuse. It only takes 3 months to change their minds for them, when quarterly reports come out.
