No thanks Pizza Hut. They should call it the Anti-Chicago pizza. One time I tried a similar concept of a "light" pizza from Papa Murphy's, a take home and bake chain, due to a promotion and it was awful.

gee, what’s wrong with eating 1/2 less.

They already exist — They are called Hot Pockets and they suck!

[Ray76]

Less is more.

Their “pizza” is crap anyway

[Mike Darancette]

The pies simply use less of the same dough used for regular pies and are lighter on the toppings..

And they will charge more for the product.

I just HATE biting into all that cheeze and toppings ... slopping on my shirt while I try to drive home without slopping on my shirt ...

I KNOW it'll bind me up for a couple of days and I'll eat three more pieces when I get home ...

And I'll step on the scale tomorrow and groan ...

But it tastes so damned GOOD !

Y'can't get that kind of purient satisfaction from no skinny pizza.

If you’re going to do thin crust it can’t be the same dough. That dough is that thick for a reason. The Hut should probably just try making their pizza edible.

I hope not to sound like a snob but thankfully Boston has so many exceptional pizza joints I do not have to visit Pizza Hut.

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

The best way in my opinion to make a “light” pizza is to use a large tortilla as the “crust” and put all the pizza sauce and sheese and meat like a regular pizza, cook it on the top rack with the heat going downward ONTO the pizza in one o those pans with the holes onthe bottom of it...

You've put quite a bit of thought into this...

I’ve never put sauce on a quesadilla, it wouldn’t mix with the salsa and guac. Another good light “pizza” is a lavosh... which I haven’t made in way too long. Might have to fix that.

I have used the “Taco Sized” tortillas to make “personalized pan pizzas” at a party bvefore and then used the larger ones to make whole pizzas before.

It is a quicker that digourno, and I dislike pizza wich is mostly crust a light on toppings...

Plus when you cook a tortilla is becomes stifer that the flop-tastic “NY style” crap pizza...

(I am gonna get hate for this, sue me)

I have an idea. If you want a skinny slice with less crust and toppings, just order a small pizza cut into more slices.

The last two times I ordered a delivery from Pizza Hut, it was dried out and way too salty - and I’m normally not fussy about salt. I’m done with them.

[Ditter]

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

[riri]

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

Yes, let me take a pizza home, cook it in my crappy non-pizza oven using my electricity and pay you the same as I would for a cooked pizza.

Actually, most pizza in Chicago has a very thin crust. What tourists call “Chicago-style” pizza is actually not eaten very much by people who live here.

I disagree completely. To each his own.
