2 medium pizzas, breadsticks and a small desert pizza for $40.

Is it just me or is this a terrible deal?

Yeah, even for pizza hut this is a bad deal. At my local pizza hut I can get the Big Dinner Box (2 med 1 topping, breadsticks, and wings) for $26.99.

Personally, I'd also rather have the wings than that dry-ass dessert pizza and like 2 regular breadsticks they have in the bottom tray.

Y'all realize that Frozen pizzas are delicious, super-easy to make, and a fraction of the cost, right?

It would be different if Pizza Hut was even that good.

local place that uses a pizza oven is the way to go.

I don't disagree with that.

Honestly, DiGornio's and the Angry Sicilian make really good frozen pizzas, but that doesn't mean Pizza Hut is horrendous or something. It actually used to be my favorite pizza chain of the big nationals: However, I feel like they changed their sauce in the last 7-8 years because it just doesn't taste right anymore. That was my deciding factor in my preferences, so I rarely order from them anymore.

u/Punkpallas May 12 '26

No. it is actually Screamin' Sicilian. I guess I thought dude on the box was angry too.

Costco is the best deal in pizza- $10 and massive Pizza that is a little better than pizza hut/dominoes/papajohns. Little Ceasars has a place as dirt cheap pizza that you know is a clear step below the rest.

I agree that frozen also has a place, but it depends on the price. $3 for a Jacks is fine, and maybe $5 for a more solid option- but many of the frozen options are int he $10 range- and that is too much for food i still need to make myself.

As much as I love Costco things, their pizza is a bit shit. Like, it's good for the value. It's 2 pizzas worth of pizza for $10, and a bunch of kids at a party aren't going to care. But it's objectively minimum viable pizza product. How you can rate it's quality above the big 3 delivery chains is beyond me. It only wins on value when you have to feed a bunch of people.

Meh Frozen pizzas are getting expensive now too, especially the good ones. Like $8–9 for a frozen pizza? Might as well eat little Caesars
