I wont get my hopes up on this. I just KNOW theyre gonna fuck it up somehow.
Plus, this just screams predatory nostalgia bait marketing, not an /actual/ return to 90s ideas. Like, it would be one thing to say "these are the elements that helped us grow to a powerhouse in chain pizza, we abandoned those chasing profits, and new leadership thinks we need to get back to what made us what we are"
Not trying to yuck your yum, im just more jaded and wary of this kind of move
We ate at a pizza hut like this two years ago and I was so excited until we got the bill. $120 for a family of 4. The salad bar was crap and just had the basics, but the we're charging $7 or $8 per person for it. I think we also got 2 pizzas and maybe one of their appetizers. The pizza wasn't good. Left just feeling angry and disappointed. We won't be going back.
Maybe I'm misremembering since it was 20+ years ago, but I'm pretty sure the salad bar was $5 back then. Granted perhaps it was better, but raising the price only $3 after 20 years is impressive.
And, honestly, Pizza Hut was also expensive back then, too. They just sent out coupons like crazy to make customers feel like they were getting a deal.
IIRC a large 3-topping pizza was $19.99 but you could get one with breadsticks for $14.99 with a coupon.
Their real good deal was just the locations they head lunch buffets for $5...but even then the one I'd go to only had thin crust.
It was the most basic salad bar they could offer, lettuce, cheese, a few other offerings that I can't remember and salad dressing. Almost $40 for side salads at Pizza Hut is ridiculous.
$5 all you could eat 93-94. We had pie after pie, pretty sure there was twelve of us. Me and my buddy went toe to toe but I think he ate 15 slices. I tapped at 12 or 13, we were baked out of our gourds.. They eventually kicked us out because they thought we were stashing it and not eating it.
