Say Goodbye To The "Pizza" In Pizza Hut
Say goodbye to Pizza Hut and hello to The Hut. Actually, let's all say fuck off to The Hut. This is not a change I can co-sign on.
Pizza Hut has announced that they are slowly re-branding themselves as The Hut. Sales have been in the caca box, so they are hoping this will get whores back into their restaurants. Specifically, young whores.
One of Pizza Hut's HBICs told Brand Week (via idsgn), "There's a big trend in general around having confidence in the foods that you eat. People over the age of 35, whose frequency with pizza is declining, said one of the big things that would reignite their passion with the category is to have a pizza made with multigrain crust and an all natural tomato sauce. And yes, we're also introducing another vocabulary word with Pizza Hut, which is 'The Hut.' That ties in nicely with (today's) texting generation. We wanted to make sure that Pizza Hut and 'The Hut' become common vernacular for our brand."
The Hut only makes me think about a giant blob of wet caca with a gaping mouth that eats anything who gets in its path. No, I'm not talking about Tommy Girl's asshole. Seriously, who wants to eat anything that comes out of Jabba the Hutt?
I can understand Pizza Hut wanting to appeal to a different audience, but calling themselves The Hut is not the answer. What they need to do is sexify their image a bit. Put on some lucite heels and strut. They should start going by Pizza Slut. They can even bring back their old slogan: "Gather 'round the good stuff." If they hired the "delivery dicks" from (NSFW, duh) BigSausagePizza.com, I would order from Pizza Slut every single day for the rest of my butt's life.
Since the subject is greasiness, here's Brit Brit leaving London. I hope she's just as upset about this news as I am and records a PSA or something.

Multigrain crust and all-natural sauce? What's the point of eating pizza if you're going to turn it into a health food? And I'm just a couple of years younger than that supposed demographic who's "outgrown pizza".
No matter to me anyhow. I prefer our local pizzeria over the greasy, overly cheesy slop "The Hut" serves.

i'll still call it pizza hut. i don't respond well to change.
when i was little, pizza hut was a treat because it was a restaurant that my parents were prolly not scared to take us too.
i tried it again once last year when i was moving.it tasted bad and it gave me the runs. never again.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Pizza Slut cannot leave the menagerie..fuck

The title for this post has now gotten Boys II Men's song "It's so Hard to Say Goodbye" stuck in my head.
Grrrrrrrr
We make a mean pizza on our BBQ grill :)
Are they gonna have a pizza called "Jabba"? BWAH! Get it?
Boooooooooooo!

What that branding 'tard forgot to say is that they're trying to position themselves to be about MORE than pizza. You know wings (which is growing revenue), and......you know....whatever else they'll decide the kids want these days.
They are dead to me.
"That ties in nicely with (today's) texting generation."
Really now. I can't recall the last time I step foot inside a Pizza Hut, I drive by one everyday though.
They should just call it Pizza Butt.

My friends and I called Pizza Hut "Slut Hut" since 1981 because one of them worked there in HS. She was a "Pizza Slut who worked at the Slut Hut".
We were so ahead of our time.
Oh, and all quick delivery 'zza is nast.

Also, the only good thing about being from Jersey is that there is no shortage of great pizza places here. I'm thankful I never have to eat the hot circle of garbage that restaurant chains call pizza.
I'll still call it Pizza Hut. You can't teach an "old dog" new tricks. Bitches.

'the hut' sounds like cavemen might be making your pizza with fecal fingers and TB coughs.
save yourself 20 bucks, buy a frozen pizza from trader joe's and put it in the oven.

I used to loooove Pizza Hut back in the day but I haven't had it in ages and judging by everyone's comments, that's a good thing.

Eh, changing the name won't make me eat there. I'm a Papa John's gal personally.
I think "the hut" just sounds dumb...it's basically for lazy ppl that can't type the extra 5 letters. Gimme a break.

I read "Pizza Slut" and the Diet Dr. Pepper I was drinking shot out of my nose. And is now covering a stack of depositions. And they were the originals, not copies.
I guess that's what I get for eating lunch at my desk, and checking DListed at the same time.
This is the dumbest thing I've read all day. If Pizza Hut wants to make money, they could fire the marketing mensa's that came up with "the hut" idea. Maybe even put that money into making their Pizza not taste like dog's ass anymore.
Problem solved. ______________________________________________
My feelings are sensitive.
Remember Pizza the Hut from "Spaceballs"? That's totally the image I'm getting from this name.
Oh, and that second thumbnail of Britney...looks like she is knocking her knees together while she thinks, "There's no place like Louisiana, ya'll! There's no place like Louisiana!"
i went on "behind the scenes" tour of a pizza hut while in girl scouts.
it was dissssgusting. i slipped on the greasy floor while trying to make my way through the kitchen...they let us all stick our unclean/gloved hands in the toppings/cheese to make our own pizza and the "fridge" was a nice 70 degrees (warm).
gross gross gross.
M.E. HUYT is what britard calls it , "y'all, let's go to The Heee yut! I need me some Cheeto pizza pie!"

I remember back in the mid-80's when we first got Pizza Hut in NJ. It was awesome & tasted like heaven & was eat-in only. Now it's like greasy dog shit. Although I do co-sign whole-grain pizza crust. If only Lodi Pizza would start making that.
you're about as useful as a cock-flavored lollipop - Patches O'Houlihan
i will continue to call then pizza hut, or pizza slut, depending.
i do like their pizza, but we don't have one around here.
the hut is a bad idea guys. bad idea.
-------------------------
'fuck you guys. i'm goin' home.'
They need to drop the agency that came up with this dumb shit.
Brittney's outfit looks like something Kate Gosselin would wear.
I don't eat there anyway, I never liked their sauce.
The new logo looks really weak compared to their new old logo.
Pizza Hut or The Hut, whatever the hell they want to go by, gives me indigestion of the worst kind. Give me a pie from the local mom and pop pizza joint, please!

OOPS! I meant HUT not HUYT.
I ate pizza from Pizza Hut only ONCE and it was the most horrible pizza I have ever eaten. It was so meh!. People today are as fond of pizza as they have ever been, we just want a TASTY pizza, that's all. Besides, they should worry when people actually make their own pizzas and eat at home regularly. The "texting generation" is fond of eating out as ever, very few people are into the "naturist" stuff and for a "naturist" pizza is a big NO. I don't think there is a need to change the comany's name to go along with the change in the ingredients they'll use. They should just invest money in a huge campaing to claim their ingredients are "natural" and "healthy" unlike their competition.
Just as a side note, there was only a Pizza Hut restaurant around here and it closed down many years ago. They never returned.

The Hut oooo super kewl name. Like that's gonna drum up more business.
Geez what is it with Britney and shoes? I think I can count on one hand how many pairs of shoes she has. She gets a new pair of shoes and wears them with every god damn outfit. These shoes were part of that lovely turtleneck/shorts ensemble she wore to McD's the other day.
really stupid move...
what's next? sbwy? mcdnds? tcbll?
morons
This is really, really stupid. The Hut sounds incredibly archaic. Either you like Pizza Hut pizza or you don't (or you live in a little town and have no fucking choice)...a name change won't matter.

Honestly, I'll take a Papa Johns take and bake any day over Pizza Hut, Domino's, Round Table.
I love their DeLite Veggie Gourmet. Tons of yummy veggies on a skinny crust, smothered with white garlic sauce.
Shit. Now I want pizza.
WHAT THE FUCK ??? i grew up in the 80's on pizza hut...fuck this "the hut" shit...they might as well just try calling it the "omg lol HUTZ". i have lost all respect for them...pizza slut is a brand i definetly would stand behind !
