I don't like a lot of the food here....it has a funny after taste.
That's why I make nearly everything from scratch.
Love the pizza though!

I don't. I loved UK pizza hut, clean, nice salads. And the US ones have ALL been dirty. Also they must put 5 star spice in it or something as the tomato base sauce tastes very aniseed

Realise pizza huts aren't 'authentic' pizza!!
But you can get authentic pizza back in the UK as well.

That's probably it. The Heinz beanz tasted bland. I'm going to purge myself! I am already a label checker freak. I'll be growing my own food from now on.

We had the worst pizza ever in Chicago. The restaurant where you pay as you go in...can't remember the name. It was more like a really bad quiche than a pizza...yuk.

Well there is a variety, I'm sure some are awful. Can't think of which one you're talking about. If you're visiting again, be happy to give you some recommendations. Chicago style deep dish - Lou Malnati's, Uno's, Due's. Georgio's (my local one) not bad either.

Are you sure that wasn't the Public Lavatories? That would explain it.

Do you have to guess at what the service is going to be like and pay the tip first as well?

Down the road we have a pizza place that is just a cabin at the edge of the woods. They make their own pizza and it is the best I have ever tasted.
