Just rang them and apparently it's a 9". Although I did have to ask her about 4 times what "size" it is. The first answer was "it's an individual one", yes but what size is that? "It's an individual", next answer was "it's an italian base". When I asked her what size IN INCHES, then she understood and went away and asked. Grrr!

You're the one being silly. It is the consistency of the base not its diameter that any normal customer cares about. Asking what length a pizza is is just stupid. If a customer asks a stupid question then they may well have to ask four or more times because sane people's brains are efficiently designed to only register questions that make sense.

I have been and also came away feeling rather fleeced.

Pepsi glass filled to the brim with ice, drinking it made my teeth hurt ( I did say no ice, but alas :rolleyes:)

Counted 5 sliced of mushroom and 7 strips ( thin) of pepper on my pizza. Also serious lack oif cheese, barely visible.

One slice of garlic bread that is the grillable versions you can get int sainsburys etc usually 10 slices for a pound, wonder what they pay for it in pizza hut.

Not impressed and not going back.

Will try another voucher deal next time or go toby carvery , the only positive why I chose this was free parking.

i fail to see how people can be unimpressed by a meal for £4...
i i had a glass of drink and i asked for ni ice but got ice i would ask for another drink.... we all forget these things now and again, so if your cheese was barely visible, i am guessing that your pizza was just a base and tomato puree??? did you complain i would have done and got it rectified!!!
We can all complain about different products / shops etc but unless management know then they cant rectify it....

We had this on Oxford St. and it was very nice, exactly as advertised on the website.

Went again in Harrow and it wasn't quite as good - only garlic bread on offer, no wedges (which is what we would have ordered) also they would only include fizzy drinks in the deal, which my kids don't like, so had to pay extra for a couple of juices.

When I queried that the offer wasn't (quite) as advertised on the website, the waiter said it was at the discretion of each branch manager!

Very good value, but I wish they'd stick to the deal.

Well I am afraid I am a "normal" customer and I have always chosen a takeaway pizza by its size in inches, then the choice of base. That is not uncommon! Thats how pizza ordereing has always been until Pizza Hut came up with "individual" as another name for child size.

Dont get me wrong I love Pizza Hut, but I also totally understand Abba fan`s question and so should anyone working in a pizza shop! And she did not ask the length she was asking for the DIAMETER. It was not you she spoke to on the phone was it?:rotfl:

Fantastic value! You've just got to view it as a cheap meal, like a McDonalds or a KFC, not compare it with an evening meal out. It's £4 at the most!

Then why do all Pizza menus (take away and restaurant) tell you the size of a Pizza in inches ?

What do you mean by consistency? To me that refers to how liquid/solid someting is? or if something is always the same - consistent.

Then you had me doubting myself, so I had to look it up and none of the below could refer to a Pizza base. Unless you were ordering a 'solid' pizza or a 'soggy pizza base'. Perhaps you were refering to deep pan or thin crust (and trying to be clever)

Consistent over time - now that one could easily relate to high street restaurants as they churn out food from plastic wrappers that taste the same which ever branch you happen to visit.

I don't think asking the size of a Pizza is a stupid question at all. and I am sure most normal customers would agree.

good point. How the heck do you know how much food to order if you don't ask what size it is.

'Ill take one deep pan meat feast, please, nah i dont need to know what size it is silly'.

cue a family of six sharing a two inch pizza with toothpicks. lol


I went last week instead of popping into greggs when I was out shopping with my mam.
Greggs would cost around £3 each and this was £4 for a hot meal, in a restaurant, i was thrilled with it.
We had the mini cheesecake for an extra pound too, looked tiny but for an extra treat it was just enough and really nice. The one we went to was billed as lunch happy hour, for what we ata it was filling enough for lunch, but not evening meal. good value though.

Yep, have to agree with all the people who order their pizza's by suitably sized diameter measurements! Very strange to order by 'consistency' of base!!!????? Does that mean that you have to order either cooked or uncooked? Interesting.
