Pizza Hut changes its name- how random!!

[WheresTheAuPair]

I thought this was a joke at first. I haven't had a pizza hut pizza in years but now really fancy a cheese feast with sweetcorn and peppers mmm. I'd never go there for the soggy old pasta tho!

Bizarre and it's only for a trial period? I hate Pizza Hut - that vile salad bar with mountains of cubed beetroot.

Noooo!!! The song won't sound right .....
A Pasta hut, a pasta hut..... nope its all wrong!

I've never been in a Pizza Hut.

How odd....knew they were struggling nut Pasta Hut will not draw the punters in I feel.....

...and dried up slices of cucumber...crusty jars of dressing....the soggy pasta still stays with me tho (boak)

mm really do fancy pizza now tho....

Went on Sat with my Tesco vouchers and the food was vile. Ran out of small bases then brought out 'cheesecake' which had frozen berries on it. Will not be hurrying back.

Altogether now...

A Pasta Hut, A Pasta Hut
Flame grilled or poached chicken and a Pasta Hut

pizza - yes but pasta - no

If you had a chance to change your name and rebrand, why keep the word 'hut'? Personally think they're completely outdated and chains like Carluccio's and Strada must have swiped a big chunk of their business.

I'd loved to have been a fly on the wall at that marketing meeting ("hmm pizza's not regarded as being healthy enough anymore- we need something healthy yet within our product range- why Pasta Hut of course-genius!!")

Their low sales have obviously nothing to do with the overpriced pizzas and yukky laminated menus then...

why are they sticking with the hut? Like sunglasses hut - very strange

Pasta Yurt?

I can see what they're thinking... "Damn, there are so many pizza chains out there now that make nicer pizza than us (Pizza Express, Zizzi etc) but - brainwave! - we'll be the only soggy pasta emporium in town! Well apart from Bella Pasta."

However although it's foul I like going there with DP when we have a rare trip to the cinema together - it's part of our regulation trashy nite out along with the popcorn and coke.

onceinalifetime - great minds think alike!!!

I read that article too, at lunchtime. It seems such an odd idea! But I also found it odd that they referred to pizza as "fatty" - surely it isn't? I mean yes the cheese obviously has fat, and some of the toppings, but I wouldn't think of pizza as a fatty food unless you deepfried it (which we do up here but that's beside the point!)

Not to mention pizza express?

I think the word HUT has something to do with the history of the brand. 2 men statred out in a hut IIRC.

pasta seems richer with all the cream sauces - why not call it PizzaPasta

pizza express - pizza very slowly

i havent been in one for years

but as i downloaded a 50 5 OFF VOUCEHR we tried to go on saturday

but they couldnt gind a table for 8 and said we would have to wait by the door for an hour and wouldnt be allowed to leave

so we didnt bother and went somewhere else

zizis in fact which is much nicer but of course more expensive

I was hoping it would be
'Le Hut de Pizza'

An attempt to sound classier.

lol tdwp

it is the fact that you eat a whole pizza that makes it fattening

and didnt they p[ioneer filling the crust with cheese

www.pastahut.co.uk/Home I can only imagine that these taste as good as they look

zizis in french - lol at the name of this
