I would say 25 would definitely be helped by numbers, but our Target had six or eight near each other. And you would tell them coloe/make/model. Maybe there are a lot of the same. I do see a lot of white Crossovers/SUVs lately
Got a tip for us?

I guess we can no longer have it "our way" at Burger King

Our PH is always fresh and on the way home, and it's only like six miles between work and home, so it's still warm enough by the time I get home. I pretty much always have no issues with pizza; it's the other fast food that don't follow hold times or don't know how to read and double check.
Pizza Hut left town here. Are they still around? No fanfare either apparently, just *gone*.
And I've been craving IPAs. The hoppier the better, but then they tend to have a lot more sugars. *sigh*
I eat all the Pizza at home now and use takeout at independent pier place in town that has great wings especially during the NFL playoffs!
Yeah, I've been looking for good make it yourself pizza, or frozen varieties. The one place I used to order some delicious thin crust marvels changed their recipe for sauce lately: it tastes like they grind a salt lick into it. WAY WAY WAY MORE SALT than ever before. Like YIKES, I got dough with my salt block. Almost inedible. Incredibly disappointing.
EDIT: There was a chain that 'made' pizzas and sold them raw, so people could take them home and cook them themselves. It was great za, and you could customize the heck out of them. Apparently people can't figure out how to cook za, and people started getting sick eating nearly, or totally raw za. They went out within a few years. So sad. Good pizza.
But, yet again, a slamming condemnation of the idiocy of some people. It's RAW, people. Yeah, you need to provide heat to it to be able to eat it. Yeah, you need to provide a certain level of heat to make it 'cook' and be able to shove in your stoopid face. Good grief. It's no doubt that people got sick eating raw cookie dough. People will put dang near anything in their faces. DOH!!

There's a few in the Lehigh Valley yet, but I don't know if any let you dine in anymore, except possibly Whitehall still. What's funny is on the road I can take home from work, there's PH, Domino's, LC and an independent within less than a half mile stretch. Is LC closing forever I read?
There was a huge PH franchise that went bankrupt at the start of Covid. They ended up either selling off stores or closing them and I bet they closed them where you are. Whatever stores they sold, they sold to the owner of Applebees/Arbys.
I tend to ignore the food nazis and just eat what I want. This "health concerns" crap is just them trying to scare us into being vegetarians on a low-carb, low-salt, low-fat, sugar-free, gluten-free, non-gmo, uncaffeinated, organic, no-taste diet. I especially draw the line at the tools trying to get me to stop eating chocolate.
Yes and you can eat it without it being absolutely every meal. We might do it on the weekend once, and sometimes less often due to price and quality. Too expensive for the 90% of the time they let stuff sit way beyond hold times and for it to possibly be wrong. And it would be nice to be able to dine in again. Our usual is Applebees after nine anymore. Usually comes out to around $20. And we can tip better since we should technically tip on full price
No, it CAN be that serious. Depending on your genetics, you can be eating almost literal poison. AND it also can depend on your age. My sister is nearly the 'perfect Italian woman'. The is skinny, short, and eats like a horse. Sure her age could eventually catch up to her, but her cholesterol is PERFECT, and she has a BMI of something in the top teens! Her dad ate everything that you shouldn't eat, and his blood work was so good, his doctor wanted a transfusion! But I knew someone who had major coronary artery disease in his late 20's!!
My cardiologist said 'we all decide how we are going to die every day'. Sounded morbid, and yet he explained: Smoking: COPD/Cancer. Drinking: all kinds of things. Fatty food/no veggies: Heart attack/stroke/etc.
Sure, there does appear to be people that can smoke like a chimney and laugh at the reaper. My mom stopped laughing.
I don't watch what I eat like a hawk, but there are things I will not eat. I do hew closer to a vegitarian diet at times, but have a wicked lust for salami at times too, and refuse to give up fish and would have a seziure if I had to give up cheese. *shrug* Moderation...
I remember when Pizza Hut had a promo where if you bought their Thermos drink cooler, the would fill it for free if you bought 2 large pizzas. I'm sure they made millions on that deal. The wife and I partook of that deal 2 or 3 times a week.
Their za was always rather geasy, and it seemed to become even more so over the years, and the salt content went up too. Sad. I used to love their za. Same with Tubby's Subs. Then they changed everything. *sigh* Now I eat more at home. There are too many compromises I feel unwilling to make to eat at restaurants at this time, and none of them are about Covid.
Out here on the West coast, PH got in bed with Yum Foods, who is the parent company of Pizza Hut, KFC, Taco Bell, and A&W, so they were either a standalone location, or colocated with one of the other chains; and if they were standalone, they were carryout or delivery only. After COVID started, they took a dive and basically are gone. there were 24 carryout/delivery/colocated Pizza Huts in the Sacramento area. They are now down to 2.
By contrast, there is still a full service PH in my grandmother's town.
They really have been taken over - more like overtaken - by the build-your-own Pizza shops, like Mod Pizza, Pieology, or Blaze. That, and the smaller mom/pop shops are still in business, as they found a way around COVID while PH struggled.
That said, and being spoiled by In-n-Out, then after that, Buckhorn Grill, I've gone to simply making my own burgers. We have a subscription to Butcher Box, where we can have our meats delivered when we are ready for them. I'll get the grass fed burgers, grill them to taste (add Worcestershire sauce for flavor), season, slice a sweet onion, saute that with mushrooms, melt smoked gouda on top of the burger, put it all together, and I'm set. If I wanted to, I'd add fried onions onto it, but the sauteed ones work great.
One thing about COVID is that it has taught a fair number of people to actually cook instead of fast fooding everything.
BL.

It is. What I was referring to was that Pizza Hut here didn't have any standalone restaurants to eat in here, but instead were in shared locations with Taco Bell, KFC, or A&W.

Best pizza around, imo. At least their pan crust pizza. I don't really care for the other crusts.
Well sadly, lots of restaurants, Pizza Hut, Dominos, Papa Johns and pretty much just about every fast food place out there is all about simply getting prepackaged food to where all they do is thaw it or heat it up. I'm talking everything from frozen pizza dough to pre chopped meats and vegetables including lettuce and mushrooms.
There was a time when Taco Bell pressure cooked their own beans and deep fried their own taco shells and cinnamon fritters. Now all that stuff comes already processed in a factory and all they do is heat things up from the beans to the meat and cinnamon fritters.They used to even shred their own cheese from a 5 pound block. Many full service places do the same now with prepackaged/processed junk. Burger King and McDonalds are just as bad, liquid eggs that come in a box ready to use and all this prepackaged shredded lettuce that all they do is pour into a pan ready to use. They don't even rinse it and and they truest that it's ready to use. That's the food we are being sold today.
I told someone about this comment.
They suggested you should be committed to a mental institution. Their comment:
"You should've had them committed on the spot. Pizza Hut is consistently the worst pizza I've ever had. Dominos isn't far off that mark either."
Yeah, it's almost like taste in pizza is a personal preference thing, not gospel. Tell your friend to chill out.
I didn't say he's my friend
Yes, because that was totally the point of my comment.
Bennigans. Now long gone, but I used to try to order their nachos without peppers. After getting a little testy over them arriving with peppers AGAIN, I asked the bedraggled server why they came with peppers AGAIN, and she said they come in a package from corporate with the peppers already in the sauce for them. To get them without peppers would mean someone in the back picking the peppers out by hand. Um, really? Wow. That sucks.
And Bennigans is gone. Went out pre-pandemic too...
Loved their breadsticks, and they came 'pre-buttered' too. *sigh*
Here in West Bend there are several pizza places. We have Pizza Hut, pizza ranch, Marcos, toppers, sals, etons, dominos, papa Murphys. There’s also a pizza underground maricios in Barton thats awesome sauce.
