Back in the UK, I was used to going out with the lads for a bit of Pizza Hut. The one we used to go to most is the one in Leicester Square.
I arrive in Japan to discover that if I wanted some Pizza Hut, I would have to travel out of Tokyo to Chiba or Saitama which are out in the sticks ^^; Alternatively, I order through the phone and the Pizza Hut boy (but sometimes a very cute girl) would come on the cool scooters like the ones you see in the photo above. I found it interesting that even though Pizza Hut exists in Japan, Tokyo has not one restaurant to eat out at (source.)
The worst Pizza Hut I had was in Penang Malaysia. Ordered a pineapple and mushroom pizza. The pizza came and after a few bites I realize that theres no pineapple. I call the manager and he said that they ran out. I asked why they didn't tell me at the time of order he replied "well because you are not a local." I was like @.@
Below is Pizza Hut's latest offering. The crust is filled with prawns and mayonnaise and the main body can be filled with whatever you want. A large one for 3,550 yen (31 USD).
And just what on earth is an "Indecent fliers collecting box?"

I personally am not a fan of pizza hut, but some of my friends don't mind it here. I prefer Papa John's which are only takeout/delivery outlets in my immediate area. I read however, that Papa John's in China are a big deal and have seated dining. Very different pizza style like over there much like this pizza hut menu with seafood stuff.

Yo Danny, Are there Papa John's in Japan?

I feel I have to apologise for the lousy service you got in Penang... but yes.. service here is lousy! There's just no concept of 'customer is always right'

If they still have Pepperoni Pizzas in Japan, I'll still eat the Pizza Hut. XD
(ID #65693) Posted on 2007/12/02 23:31
so the menu has the english names for the pizza, if you phoned up and ordered in english would they understand?

Man, I'd love to try some of that pizza. 僕にはめちゃうまそうです！

Pizza Hut pwns all!! but in terms of Size ... Yellow cab still rules!
(ID #65698) Posted on 2007/12/02 23:46
The only problem with Pizza Hut here in Brazil is that they are SO DAMN EXPENSIVE. The basis is: Regular pizza + 50 to 100% = Pizza Hut. And the thing is: it's not hard to find regular pizza as good or even better than Pizza Hut around here. But yeah, they have a pretty unique taste. Once a month I order some medium or small peperoni + super supreme.
(ID #65699) Posted on 2007/12/02 23:53
Danny, whats with the 25-30 dollars for a pizza? I can get two larges for $19 dollars. Wow.. I didnt think pizza would be so expensive in Japan. I guess it more than balances out with the rest of the food being inexpensive and tasty.
(ID #65701) Posted on 2007/12/03 00:14
Fat Bastard is right, Papa Johns is much better. Pizza Hut here is really oily. Thin crust is my favorite. BBQ chicken baby!
(ID #65702) Posted on 2007/12/03 00:16
The side dishes come in much more variety than our. I laughed when I saw "sausage with bone," what's up with the bone lol? One aspect of Japanese food culture (sometimes Asian in general) is the fascination with corn (reference to the corn salad). I like corn myself but not with some of the foods that Japan serves with it, like pizza for example; I assume the corn adds a bit of freshness to every bite.

LOL you got that bad of a service in Malaysia? I'm sorry to hear that. I guess the quality of the service differs from place to place. In the case of Pizza Hut in my area, it's pretty close by (about 15 minutes of walking). The pizzas are alright and delivery is fast (due to proximity). A large pizza here cost RM22 (USD6.51). Recently, I seem to have quit Pizza Hut due to the emergence of Italian restaurants that serves authentic pizzas.
(ID #65704) Posted on 2007/12/03 00:26
well actually only the pizza hut in penang sucks, i dont know why but the franchise in penang tends to get diluted with lackadasical service and lausy quality control

Pizza Hut is the best, and the most favorited in America. I shed a salty tear when read you can't eat outside for Pizza Hut. That stuffed mayo pizza looks... rather terrible.

Hardly any Pizza Hut's around my place. I'm sick of pizza, cause I worked in one.
(ID #65708) Posted on 2007/12/03 01:03
pizzas are great-tasting once you've replicated japanese recipes by smothering some kewpie japanese mayo on top. you should try it too, it is highly commendable. just don't forget to add the ketchup for it not to taste too strange. but it is good on it's own though.

I said a few days ago that fast food was bad- well Pizza Hut can get away with it ^^. My roomate thinks it tastes like lard but I love Pizza Hut pizza. I am a fan of the classic cheese/pepperoni. I like their stuffed crust pizza ocasionally and I love their P'zones (calzone). Great pizza.

i love pizza but seldom eat them. in fact i seldom eat fast food at all. not only are they unhealthy, they are expensive too. ('~')
(ID #65713) Posted on 2007/12/03 02:15
I don't really go to Pizza Huts. But I've heard from more than one of my friends that Pizza Huts in China are really fancy, you sit down and everything. my friend even took pictures of an ice swan in a Pizza Hut! They also say that it's really good food because it's practically the only Italian food there.

Pizza Hut is crap. There's nothing good there. In fact, I really don't know any pizza chains that are any good. I'd almost eat frozen pizza over Pizza Hut.

Would never eat Pizza Hut in Malaysia considering that they don't have pork products in them. How is one suppose to enjoy a meat-lovers without those sausages/pepporoni?
(ID #65721) Posted on 2007/12/03 03:19
Ugh please stop with the mayo! One thing I noticed in my trip to China is that the "Pizzas" Asian countries serve are very....unique, in that it caters to the taste of the people of that nation. I mean I'd try some but I'll stick to the good old fashion Pepperoni and cheese, unless something outrageous came out like a say Chicken Curry Pizza. It might taste nasty but gotta try everything curry :D. On another note, the deserts look delicious, I didn't even know Pizza Hut offered desserts! Green Tea Tiramisu and Chocolate Mousse please.
(ID #65722) Posted on 2007/12/03 03:31
Wow so many choices of pizza. I'm really done with the regular ol toppings. -_-"

woaaaa i wouldn't know what to order with so many toppings and desserts, etc
(ID #65727) Posted on 2007/12/03 04:25
Just had some last night with the cheese filling in the crust. I had to pick it all out cause I hate the cheese in the crust. I wasn't the one who ordered it in case you were wondering. Also, why are the pizzas so dang expensive there?
(ID #65730) Posted on 2007/12/03 04:32
WOW, so amaze that the offer so many choice in Japan. My local Pizza Hut offer, well pizza, and may be some chicken wing and that about it. For some reason pizza in US taste the same everywhere (well some place even taste like crap too). Never bump in to any good pizza, only OK pizza
(ID #65731) Posted on 2007/12/03 04:49
Crust filled with prawns and mayonnaise.. that sounds awesome, somewhat exotic. Totally random but I have to link the advert of Damon Hill and Murray Walker that was broadcasted years ago when the 'crust' made me go wow (I was 9 yrs old at the time) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4Q_9VYU9FE With the tear off crusts nowadays it's much more filling and fun, though I rather eat at Pizza Express here. A lot more expensive, better pizzas, meals and deserts. Worth every penny imo ^^;

I used to eat Pizza Hut all the time until Lil Ceasars opened up again in my town after closing for the longest time. Their pizza to me was far superior and the fact 2 larges cost $10 USD.
(ID #65735) Posted on 2007/12/03 05:52
Wow Danny, those are some interesting toppings on those pizzas. It would be interesting to try a few of them. Pizza Hut is where I usually get pizza because it's cheaper and tastes pretty good considering what you pay. To be honest, there really aren't a lot of "eat-in" pizza joints where I live nowadays. A lot of them are just pick-up and delivery places. Roundtable Pizza is probably the best tasting as far as chain pizzarias go, but they charge you and arm and a leg. Sometimes the best pizza is found in those little "mom and pop" joints that are hidden away in plazas and stuff. LOL if you're really stuck on cash and still want to eat some pizza, Lil Caesar's Pizza has this $5 "Hot N Ready" Large pizza deal. It may not be the best tasting pizza ever, but c'mon it's only $5 and it's a decent sized pepperoni or cheese pizza. That's win in my book, being on a budget and all.
(ID #65737) Posted on 2007/12/03 06:23
@skankywonders "Pizza Hut is the best, and the most favorited in America." Pizza Hut is the worst pizza period. This is coming from a guy living in Chicago, where the best pizza in the States is made(New York is arguable). If your going to eat chain restaurant pizza, then Lou Malnati's or Gino's is acceptable, otherwise the mom and pop pizza places are the best.
(ID #65739) Posted on 2007/12/03 06:58
We don't have a lot of Pizza Huts here. Besides that, they are always (as far as I've seen) on big train stations, so they don't offer all kinds of side dishes, desserts and pasta menus...just pizza slizes and drinks. =_=

Haha, whoa. Pizza Hut's flavors in Japan are still totally insane. Too bad this place just has regular stuff. Anyway, Yellow Cab is better.
(ID #65742) Posted on 2007/12/03 07:31
that pizza with the prawn and mayo looks like it'd taste pretty good. theres a pizza hut literally 6 houses down from my house. a couple times i ordered delivery and the dude walked it over. japan definitely has more options available than usa. i have to agree that family owned pizza places taste awesome most of the time.

Is strange see the diferences between your menus and ours, yours looks with much more variety. In Spain we have a type of restaurant called Telepizza, that serves REAL tasty stuff, better that any, I tell you!!

I'm honestly surprised that so many people think Pizza Hut is good. It doesn't even remotely compare to a real Italian pizza, and it's very expensive. I've been to Italy & France alot, and the pizza's there are so much better, there's just no words for it. Luckily I have a Turkish restaurant closeby which makes very decent pizza's. I never again will go to Pizza Hut, unless there are no other options.

Ahh, barely any Pizza Huts here unfortunately, I miss them from the time I lived in England, the most common Pizza places here aren't very good in comparison.

Hmm, typically Japanese flavors. I don't know how, but they come up with flavors that sound like they were picked by a blindfolded chef putting his finger down on some random page in a open cookbook, yet somehow turn out to be pretty good when you let your tastebuds finally take one for the team. Astounding and amusing.
(ID #65800) Posted on 2007/12/03 15:09
That isn't to say we Pinoys don't do the same thing. I mean, salted egg pizza, roast suckling pig pizza, "sisig " (Look it up. Kinda like haggis, and just as appealing to most of you) pizza... Hmm... how about a "Meal of the Week" thing for the site, Danny? I'm sure most of us would be curious as to what else the Japanese eat, apart from the usual sushi and ramen imagery we usually associate with their meals.

Your Pizza Hut menu's looked delicious. Your menu differ from my country. My country menu has Supreme series pizza, New Orleans Wings, Pasta, Garlic Bread etc. It used to have Tom yam Kung pizza which I never eat. (I like chicken supreme the most.) Currently they have the exclusive menu called cheese bite fondue. The crust which is filled with the cheese filled sausage, eat with the melt cheese paste. In my opinion Thailand Pizza Hut is good but it's too expensive. I prefer to Pizza Company which is the first Pizza Hut licensee in Thailand. (Currently the KFC hold Pizza Hut license in Thailand.) It almost has the same menu as Pizza Hut but cheaper.

Student, Photographer, Paintballer,
Pizza Hut supports the Rebellion! I occasionally enjoy a pizza hut pizza. I like the more "hole in the wall" food places than anything else. So a privately owned family pizza shop tastes handmade and more delicious in my opinion. It's just a mental thing I guess. I like that menu you showed up there Danny, it's really unique. I guess all franchises are unique to the country it's in.

That menu is awesome. Do they deliver to America. If so, I want a large Pizza Hut Gourment, Sausage with bone (sausages have bones??????), Creamy Shrimp Gratin, Pakuchiki, Corn Salad, couple cans of Pepsi and ice cream. Why couldn't the Pizza Hut in America be this awesoem?

Pizza Hut here is great! ^__^ before, pizza hut's only competitor here was shakey's and both are american companies but now they've got some local competitors which are slowly eating away their dominance in the pizza business here and the best example of a local owned pizza company is Yellow Cab Pizza. Yellow Cab's pizza here is imo better than Pizza Hut's and much larger and cheaper

Oy?! No obligatory Code Geass and Darker than Black screenshots as references? I'm disappointed. ;) Well, haven't eaten Pizza Hut specialties for years. Pizza itself has been gave up upon because I go for healthier food. However I have yet to eat Pizza Hut for one last time soon (I won't make it a habit for sure), because CC brainwashed me partially. ;)

I LOVED Korean and Japanese pizza even though they're just as fattening as any American pizza. I still love American Pizza Hut and Dominoes, but the problem is that they're very greasy and fattening. Good thing there are New York Pizzerias near where I live. Some downright legendary and most obviously the best pizzas in the planet.
