I went to Pizza Hut last week and we ordered one of those 'Cheesy Bites' pizzas - the waitress said "Oh sorry we don't have any". I asked her "Don't you just make them in the kitchen?" and she looked at me like I was insane and said "Oh no we don't make them". Where on earth do they come from then?! In that case I'm quite glad they'd run out, if I wanted to eat something that had been cooked two hundred miles away, frozen, driven here in the back of a lorry and then thawed out again I would have gone and got Tesco Value instead.

Almost all big chains just reheat food, that's why it's so cheap.

There are no chefs lovingly preparing stuff, just spotty teenagers getting things out of freezers and putting them into microwaves.

But it was £11.99 for the pizza and an extra £1.69 for the freeze-o-cheese bits :eek: Not cheap! Although I have to admit that as much as I don't want to enjoy eating what is essentially reheated slutch on a plate I do and that's why I go there. I just try not to think about what I'm eating too much while I'm actually eating it.

£11.99 is cheap in the world of cusine.

Costco pizzas are jolly nice as it happens, massive too.

Given that all the members of Costco are supposed to be professionals and business men, they always seem to look like asylum seekers and people just out of jail...

They all look depressed and malnutritioned and extremely sullen.

everything about these people lseem dark, cold and without colour.

I might park a lorry in the entrance/exit at costco so these people cant get out and infect humans.



Only kidding!

I like the idea of a costco. But not for me.

Yes-being sullen is a side effect of eating pizza.

Ok lets sort some stuff out here.

Pizza Hut bases come to the restaurants in small frozen disc shaped bits of dough.

They are defrosted, stretched to size. In the case of the cheesy bites and stuffed crust the edges are stretched and string cheese is put in the crust. The dough is then doubled over the cheese and the stuffed crust is made. For cheesy bites the crust is cut and twisted into doughballs. This is usually done in the afternoon, the dough then lasts for the rest of the day and thrown out at night if not used. If pizza hut run out of dough, there isnt enough time to prepare more dough.

Same goes with ham slices and other toppings. They come in frozen and are defrosted.

Pizzas are then sauced and cheesed and toppings applied. They are only topped once the customer places an order.

Pizza hut dont have and never have had microwaves.

Running out of products in unfortunate but happens as it is so hard to predict when a restaurant is going to be busy. If they take out or prepare too much then it gets wasted. Pepperoni or chicken is probably one of most popular toppings.

Still think that sounds preferable to Little Chef - did you know they even pre-cook their fried eggs, freeze them, and the staff in their buildings (can't really abuse the term restaurant, or even cafe that much!) just defrost them and whack them on a plate!

I am sure pizza hut is not the worst offender for this kind of thing, but probably not the best!
