I got food poisoning twice from Pizza Hut pizza in the early 80s. Last time I ever went there. No plans on ever going back.
I heard some horror stories from a person who managed a Pizza Hut in the 80's - he fired employees over what he saw them doing with food they were preparing for customers. I never went to a Pizza Hut since.
Wow, does your post bring back nightmares. I lived in SoCal in the early 80’s. Last day of work before Christmas vacation, got home and decided to order one. So glad I hadn’t made plans to visit family back east that year. Spent the week(+) sick as a dog...gave the toilet a workout, that’s for sure. Didn’t eat pizza from ANY place for YEARS after that misery.
