From Pizza Hut to Pasta Hut

Please tell me this is a UK thing only.
I couldn't find any info on it that didn't pertain to the UK.
Some of those look tasty. I wish they'd expand their pasta offerings in the US.
The Pasta Hut name change is purely a marketing gimmick.
If they start spending money on that kind of changeover in this economy, they would be worse accountants than they are pizza makers. That seems highly improbable.

The Bacon Macaroni & Cheese scares me.
Pizza Hut really is the bottom of the barrel in mind mind, as far as pizza is concerned. In my area it is also among the most expensive.
I think instead of expanding to other products, they should have tried to improve the the taste of the current ones.
Now, I have more reasons to stay clear of the Hut.

Agreed. If I have to do chain pizza, I'm a Round Table fan.
I didn't see that on the UK site the OP linked to. I know it's a US offering. The UK pastas look like food.
Never heard of that. Must not be in my area. Luckily I have a non-chain place in the shopping center next to my apartment.

You're right. Those look much better than the US offerings. I guess I just wanted the excuse to say "bacon macaroni & cheese."
They did this in the US on April Fools to promote their new pastas, even changing the website.

I was all about the New Yorker when I was younger. I haven't had pizza hut in ages, I don't even know if they still have the thing, but if they do I can imagine I wouldn't enjoy it as much.
Exactly. I wouldn't be surprised if in a few months time they announce they're changing the name back in a blaze of publicity because it's 'what all our loyal customers want'. They wouldn't be the first to do this.
I was curious to here from someone who tried their pasta. I expected it would be bad. I find it hard to believe that terrible commercial where they claim to deceive a restaurant full of people with it.
Well, it is still better than dehydrated pasta in a cardboard box ... marginally.
Because you aren't required to add water or reheat this pasta or add water, but you pay extra for this service.
I can't stand their pizza (we're a Papa Murphy's house), but I've had their chicken alfredo and it wasn't bad. Of course it's pretty hard to screw up chicken alfredo.
You just have to realize you're not going to get $30/plate quality when you're getting a tub of pasta and breadsticks for 12 bucks.
If you wanna be picky then go to a real restaurant, but if you want decent pasta for the price then I don't think it's too bad.
