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.

LOL! That is no lie, my friend. Just awful.
I like the personal pan pizza.
Nope, just any corner pizzeria where you can still find Italian families still running them. Head into a random city or old mill town. Walk a block in any direction. They'll fix you up.
Not to be confused with Saybrook Fish House. Which is also good.
Yup
Sounds good. I had something like that when we visited Cooperstown The only thing I knew about pizza in CT was from that movie. LOL
I’m near the “Pizzaland” (from the Sopranos); thin crust, greasy, delicious. Run by Coptic Egyptians now instead of Italians, but they seem to have bought the recipe too - still great!
That is the case here in NJ; nobody over 30 would touch the new stuff (Dominoes, Pizza Hut, Papa Johns) - we still have plenty of old-school family-run pizzerias, and they are much better.
Watched a thing on fast food years ago as the burger chains started competing, and it seemed they weren’t determined to sell great food - they just wanted to expand and be recognized so that as you traveled in other parts of the country and were unfamiliar with local fare, you’d know that the McDonalds you ate in Louisiana was the same as you’d have in Idaho.
All the pictures are designed to make it look bigger than it really is. It’s kind of small for the price.
