Pizza Hut? Pasta Hut?
 

The chain, which launched its first restaurant in Britain in 1973, is replacing its pizza-focused menu with a menu consisting mainly of pasta dishes.
This means that as well as the traditional deluxe pizzas, customers will also have the option of ordering more sophisticated dishes such as tomato and mozzarella mezzaluna and prawn and crayfish arrabiata.
The re-branding is part of an £18 million revamp package designed to attract new customers and move it into more upmarket terrain.



Er, what?

Yum, pasta. =D

But um, huh?!

Why are they trying to kill pizza hut :plain:

i am unimpressed :|

It's only for a trial period. Personally, I think it's nothing more than a publicity stunt.

As long as you can still get pizza, it doesn't bother me. They're just making extra work for themselves & more choice for me. =D

its not right, you dont go into pizza hut for pasta, why go to pasta hut for pizza?
;S
i think i may email them, ask them whyyyy.

All day breakfast pizza was what I had when I was at uni and met my parents for the weekend.
Ah, those were the days!

But, I like pasta too. A lot.

In a way i hope their pasta range is much better, pasta <3 but yeah the name change is just freaky!

Its not a permanent change, just publicity for the 12 new pastas released.

Its all the same crap might i add, comes from foil packages.

Don't like Pizza Hut, so any change... :Y:

I hate pizza.
I'd so go to it now, it has pasta (Y)

I SAW THAT TO DAY WITH DICKY IN TNOTTS.
We were very confused.

Dan's wronggggg. DAN'S WRONGGGG.

*Coughs and says nothing*

NOT PIZZA HUT!!!!!!
ANYTHING BUT THEM :crying:
*runs to stock up on pizza*

wahey, i hate pizza hut.

How can you hate pizza hut?
Madness I tell you..

ahahahaha. pizza hut will never be upmarket. never.

the pizzas are good, though.

What the hell?
Most people after pasta etc & pizza at the same time would go to fankie & bennys.

Pizza hut is known for pizza, thats society's view of it, I doubt that will change

You'd be surprised, Tom.

A lot of customers come in and order the salads, pasta or just side dishes and have nothing to do with the pizza. It's weird.

Most probably, the whole staff was ill at the meeting, all to groggy to pay full attention.

I just saw this on msn.co.uk haha.
Thats a slight joke tbh. It's Pizza hut all the way.
If I want pasta and my sister wanted pizza I'd go to pizza express, now that is an upmarketish pizza/pasta place. I also would go to Frankie and Bennies but, thats really busy.

But it's good they have more variety now. I mean, I'm lactose intolerant, so when people have parties there/the majority want to go there, I'm normally stuck with one thing on the menu I can eat.

Butyeah.
>_>
<_<

Me, my boyfriend and his best friend were all terrbily distraught over this yesterday. There was a good deal of whinging.....but we decided that we can deal with it (JUST) if they still do just as many good pizzas. =]

Domino's FTW!

Man, they have the best pizza crust ever. Who gives a damn about their pasta?

I heard about that today on the radio.

what?!
Everyone knows its much easier to make a hut out of pizza then a hut out of pasta!

Man I love pizza.

pizza is GOOD. iv only ever eatten in pizza hut once. and it gave me food poisoning and i only ate chicken. awesome.

I heard about this today and thought it seemed rather silly.... However, with all the competition from both Local cheap pizza places, and other main-brand pizza places (Dominos), its probably a good idea to target a new market... Plus, pasta seems healthier I guess

What Alex said.

Dicky!

what is the point of that?!

ha yeah. i work in pizza and if we had to make a whole bunch of new dishes that was pasta oriented, i'd be aggravated cause thats just more stuff i'd have to learn to make.
