If you are an eighties kid who ever participated in the Pizza Hut Book-It program just to get a free personal pan pizza, I have a secret for you.
There's something called Pizza Hut Classic restaurants that are like a portal back to 1985. Here the pizza comes out in a scolding hot metal pan, soft drinks are served in plastic tumblers and the vintage advertising on the walls will make you feel like a kid again.
Don't even get me started on the red checked vinyl tablecloths and amazing Tiffany style stained glass light fixtures!
In an age where Pizza Hut has closed so many of their iconic red roofed dine-in restaurants, it's down right refreshing to find one that feels like it has been mostly left untouched all these years. Most of their locations are just carry-out or delivery store fronts that rob us of the opportunity to sit and enjoy the dining experience.
We stopped at this one in Hillsboro, Ohio after I read about how Pizza Hut has been converting some of its locations to celebrate the vibe of the chain's seventies and eighties heyday.
I felt like a kid again, nearly scalding the roof of my mouth with all that gooey cheese! Back in the day, my pizza would have been pepperoni. Now my choice is veggie or just plain cheese. This veggie pizza was excellent. In fact, I don't know what they did to it, but it was way better than what you get at a carry-out location.
You can spot one of these restaurants easily because the pole sign says Pizza Hut Classic.
Who says time travel isn't possible?
