It's a little over one percent of their total stores. Last year they closed 1451 stores, so this isn't some sort of new record. The important bit is the potential of Yum selling off the brand, which I think is honestly a good move. Pizza Hut is falling WAAAY behind Dominos and needs an injection of fresh energy. A new owner might bring that.

Little Caesars makes better Pizza than the Hut. Just let it die.

Honestly couldn't tell you the last time I had Pizza Hut. Probably over 20 years ago? Just awful greasy pizza.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but as someone who has had both within the last 3 months, I'd say Pizza Hut edges out Little Caesars by a fairly large margin.

to me, this is most evident when trying to reheat it the next day. little ceasars just doesn't leftover well at all. pizza hut is only marginally better, a far cry from what it was in the 90s

For me, I use an air fryer and flip the pizza upside down. This keeps moisture on the cheese side and crisps up the crust really well.

i haven't tried this yet! sounds logical to me though

Second air frying to reheat. It also does a good job of cooking their (Little Caesar’s) pizza a little more which slightly changes the flavor. It’s odd, but it works!

Hell, popping Little Caesar’s in the air fryer anyway when fresh improves it a lot for some reason.

I’d still say Pizza Hut’s pizza is still better than Caesar’s though. I think it’s the sauce.

It might be the #2 in terms of eating cold too. #1 is papajohns I'd say.

cold papa johns with some ranch on it chef's kiss

[–] Zomg@piefed.world 2 points 1 week ago

I'll try to remember that

[–] fallaciousBasis@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

One of my favorite pizzas is the Papa Murphy's cowboy pizza.

Not to mention you can get a stuffed crust pizza from Little Ceasars for 1/2 the price as Pizza Hut

They just need to copy the Pizza Hut experience in China.

It's a black tie affair, with a maître d' and everything.
