I was just explaining to my kids about what the Pizza Hut in-restaurant experience used to be like. Pizza in a burning hot pan, the light fixtures, and the amazing RED CUPS. They looked at me like I was crazy ... sadly they will never experience this level of hut greatness.

Remember when Pizza Hut pan pizzas were basically a goddamn culinary delicacy? They’d bring them out in a real fucking skillet that was piping at about 700 degrees Fahrenheit right as your third song kicked in on the jukebox after you’d played a game of Galaga. We were kings.

Square cutting pizza started in Chicago taverns decades ago. After work people who grab a beer and the square slices were easier to handle and they were smaller, so a few squares wouldn’t spoil dinner.
