The logo change to rainbow is really weird. Companies don't do that for anything else including events bigger in nature like red, white, and blue for Independence Day or black for Black History Month, MLK's birthday, or any end of slavery date.
I'm scratching Pizza Hut off my list - I can find pizza at another company that focuses on pizza instead of social issues.
I really, really do not need to ever buy another pizza from them either. I haven't bought one in, I'd guess, at least 10 years. So there won't be any changes to my daily routine.
I will confess to having liked the Personal Pan but could not get into most of their other offerings. I miss Pizza Inn, which was a better product between the two entities. Local places are almost ALWAYS going to have better product and will also tend towards being more in tune with local values. I just miss the days where I didn't have to worry about a business getting involved in national policy debates and focused instead on putting out a good product...
Yep, they are all ****. I think Papa John's is a little less ****** than Domino's or Pizza Slut, but they're all ****. Furthermore, better independently-owned and operated pizza places are easy to find even in cities like Belton and Temple. There's no excuse to eat their garbage.
Italianos in Temple is the best in the area in my opinion and by others it seems. Temple restaurant named top-10 pizza spot in Texas | kcentv.com
That looks good. Even when I was dating the future Mrs. Deez back in 2007, we sometimes went to Luigi's in Belton with her parents. It was nothing spectacular, and one wouldn't confuse its pizza with stuff made in a wood-fired oven in Naples. However, it put the national chain pizza places to shame. There truly is no excuse to buy their pizza even in smaller towns.
Loop and Lil's in Lockhart is excellent. And yes, no way would I throw money for pizza at a national chain when they are available. Loop & Lil's PizzaLoop & Lil's Pizza
That's a shame, because it was reasonably good by Belton standards, which admittedly weren't that high.
I had a place in Montgomery that was convenient when I was still working in Huntsville. I knew exactly where on the road to place my call for a pick-up order and it would just be getting boxed as I drove up. Who would have expected that from a place called the Pizza Shack?
To be fair, I think the availability of decent pizza has improved. When my family first moved to Plano in '84, there weren't many decent pizza options. There was damn near nothing in Plano. You had the usual national chain crap and then smaller regional chains (like Pizza Inn, Mr. Gattis, Mr. Jim's, etc.). They were maybe a little better than the national chains, but they were pretty crappy. Even in Dallas, there weren't many good choices. It sucked, because we came from the SF Bay Area, which did have good pizza. Things are much better now.

We all delude ourselves to one degree or another. However, one set of grifters and ideologues are using it against the detriment of young folks and to the benefit of themselves.
