Following the rise in popularity of the Detroit-style pizza pie, Pizza Hut released its own version of the square-shaped midwestern classic back in January. Promising a thick, caramelized crust and cheese that stretches all the way to the edges in all directions, it was supposed to be a slam dunk launch for the chain that no one can out-pizza. Unfortunately, based on a mostly negative response to the pie on social media and in some food publications, it sounds like Pizza Hut may have inadvertently created the most disliked pizza in the country (at the moment…) instead.
You'd think that a pizza created with laser-like precision (it includes exactly 32 pepperoni slices) and one that had gone through 500 iterations in the year it took to develop it would leave no room for error. Sure, "everyone's a critic" is certainly true with every fast-food novelty, and some negative comments are par for the course, but it looks like Pizza Hut may have gotten it genuinely wrong with the regional favorite.
According to Deadline Detroit, locals have taken offense at the chain's mass-produced pie for its weak resemblance to the cheesy, crusty, deep-dish legend that has put their city on the national pizza map.

Their NY thin crust sucks too
The pizza wars rage on
OMG!! a toasted “Lunchable”? what have we become?
At least the hut has beer....
You need it to make the pizza taste better.
Pizza Hut’s customer service suck. Never again.
Different sauce.
More cheese.
Thicker pepperoni.
Too much cost cutting.
Make better pizza.
It all tastes the same.
It certainly helps.
Most of the super-cheap pizza chains (Dominos, Papa John’s, Little Caesars) are pretty bad because they use the same cheapo cheese from the same company. But Pizza Hut is in its own class of lousy, easily worse than Dominos, Papa John’s, etc.
It was actually made with the same Cinnibon dough, just no cinnamon/sugar and given a half assed pizza attempt. The dough was still really sweet. It had limited test distribution and was pulled within a few months.
I find it humorous that the biggest haters are from Detroit. LOL
Looks like a Jays Famous Hot dog “original” with Greek chili..
Yom
I feel sorry for all the cursed people who only have crappy pizza because they don’t live in CT. I feel sorry for me because I live with this state’s government for a good portion of the year. But man, the pizza!
Terrible idea.
Looks like breadsticks with spaghetti sauce poured all over it . . . yuck!
And the Grinders, and seafood!
