Pizza Hut Testing 'Skinny Slice'
AP ^ | September 17, 2014 | Candice Choi

Pizza Hut is testing out a lighter pizza in two U.S. markets as it seeks to freshen up its menu and regain its footing against competitors.

The tests of the "Skinny Slice" pies began this week at several dozen restaurants in Toledo, Ohio, and West Palm Beach, Florida. The pies simply use less of the same dough used for regular pies and are lighter on the toppings, said Doug Terfehr, a Pizza Hut spokesman.

Really, between them and Dominoes I do not know which is worse.

Try Little Ceasers. Then you’ll know which is worse.

Honestly there are a number of frozen pizzas out there that are better tasting than many chain pizza places.

"Flour tortilla pizza, great idea. I am going to try it. :)"

I've been doing it for years. One version my kids loved growing up was to cook the tortilla with just cheese and some sort of chunky pre-cooked, Southwest-seasoned chicken, then add a topping (after it was cooked) of fresh cilantro, lime juice, julienned red bell pepper, and chopped Anaheim pepper, with a bit of salt and pepper.

I wish I were rich enough to eat pizza Donald Trump Style. During an interview with Greta Van S, the Donald ate his pizza with a fork, thereby consuming only the cheese and toppings, leaving the bread. This makes perfect sense to me, an Adkins Diet follower.

The whole Papa Murphy's concept is lost on me.

The only time I've seen them useful is when you want to keep cheap, but hot pizza flowing at a party. It's a notch above frozen supermarket pizza, but at least two notches below restaurant cooked pizza.

Best served at parties where Bud Light is the good beer in the cooler.

You're kidding right? I grew up in near Chicago. Unos, Dues, Lou Malnati’s and my favorite Gino's East are all deep dish & the best pizza anywhere. Chicago pizza has to have thick crust, because they actually put sauce and lots of toppings on the on the pizza in Chicago.

” Flour tortilla pizza, great idea. I am going to try it. :) “

Make sure you put some spray butter down on the pizza pie pan or some non-stick spray otherwise the tortilla may stick to the pan...

And let me know how it turns out!

P.S. I like to season mine with oregano and black pepper!

P.P.S. Tortillas are SO Much cheaper than buying the Pre-made Digourno crusts and if you are tryign to lower your carbs they are a good start and you can buy the low carb tortillas too!

ALSO... Since in some states Papa Murphy’s is not a “Finished food item / resturaunt” you can use your EBT/SNAP card to buy it, no seriously you can!!!!

Bet you didn’t know THAT fact!~

The last time I ate at a Pizza Hut was to pick up a to-go order. I ordered a medium pizza, but they told me they were out of mediums and sold me a large instead for the same price.

Little Caesar’s is pretty much what you’d expect when you pay $5 for a pizza. The box it came in tastes better.

And the last time I ate at a Pizza Hut, I ordered a large.

They were out of large pizzas, so they sold me two mediums for the price of one large.

(True Story)

It's not great pizza, but I'll take it over just about any frozen pizza.

It's amazing about the concept of being out of a size of pizza, when they toss the dough right there.

In my case, what they were "out" of were clean baking dishes in the medium round size.

Cut ingredient costs by 1/3, sell it for the same price, and convince gullible consumers they are healthier for it.

From the company’s standpoint, what’s not to like?

“most pizza in Chicago has a very thin crust.”

When I moved to Milwaukee, almost 50 years ago, I ordered a pizza. It had a crust as thin and hard as matzo! Awful!

And they’re trying it in Toledo? A “Fatty Slice” would go over much better!

We’ll have to get the definitive word on this pizza from the basement-DUellers on that Moonbat forum ....

"You're kidding right?"

Nope, I grew up in Chicago, and still live there. Most of us rarely order stuffed pizzas. The standard Chicago pizza is thin crust, and most of the neighborhood joints specialize in that. A lot more places will make stuffed pizza now, just due to demand, but 10-15 years ago you wouldn't even see it outside of the places you mention (along with Giordano's and Suparossa), which were the exception rather than the rule.

This is typical Chicago pizza (thin crust, square cut):
