Wow, its nice to see so many other people who also dislike Pizza Hut. I can't stand Pizza Hut pizza, but just about everyone I know loves it so I wind up getting stuck eating it way more than I'd like (which is never.) Their crust is like a big blob of salt held together with a half-gallon of grease. For a while there, they had PZones (probably spelled wrong) which weren't that bad, but they've stopped making them, so I keep getting stuck eating their horrible, greasy, salty, tasteless pizza. Blech!
Personally, of the major pizza chains, I think Papa Johns is the best, but overally, nothing beats a good local brand. There used to be a local store that I LOVED around here - quite seriously the best pizza I've ever eaten (though expensive), but the store got sold to a different person a few years ago and they went right in the crapper. I would KILL for their old dough recipe...
