Pizza Hut’s IPhone App Makes Pizza Ordering Easier, More Gimmicky

So does this mean they'll stop redirecting me to their "iPhone" site? I hate that crap.

@bosskev: Or windows mobile with papa john's on speed dial.

@Eavangel: "...that stuff crust is pretty much the bees knees."

Hmm, I think you might be mistaken. Let's see...

rodent droppings, .001 PPM
cockroaches, .3 PPM
employee fingers, 1.5 PPM

Nope, don't see "bees knees" anywhere on the list of approved fillings for stuffed crust pizza.

I wish the pizza place down the street had this. Best pizza I ever had, can't understand a word they say.

@bosskev: Yeah, what's he think he's doing "handing out assignments 'n' shit.

There is no relationship between number of followers and level of authority last I checked.*

* Last time I checked was when I had more followers.

@lpranal: Yes! Well said. Hearted! Promoted! Other internet signs of affection!

Some of my closest friends/children are bastards, that doesn't mean that I don't love them as much or more than their non-bastard kin!

Of course, they have to get all their franchisees to actually honour the orders. I placed an order off the Pizza Hut website, waited two hours before calling the store (the one the emailed receipt said it was coming from), only to be told that the store doesn't do Internet orders. Then I was asked why I couldn't phone in my order like everybody else...I hung up and ordered from another place.

@92BuickLeSabre: It's weird, pizza hut is good. Just really, good. But whenever I think to get pizza, pizza hut is not even close to being on the short list. Saying something isn't "true" pizza doesn't mean it's not valid, its just a bastardization, like tex-mex, or kraft mac and cheese.

@Geisrud: ...and for the NES also.

Than there was that Genesis game based on the 7up spots...goddammit.

@LiquidGravity: Until somebody finds out they've found GTA: Chinatown Wars for the iPhone.

I want an app for Garlic Jim's or Hungry Howie's... ::sigh:: i guess pizza hut will have to do. I have to admit that stuff crust is pretty much the bees knees.

@bosskev: Kev, check your email.

@Geisrud: NES game as well

@OMG! Ponies!: Domino's indeed. There was actually even an "Avoid the Noid" game for Commodore 64!

Note to Pizza Hut: Install remote drivers in delivery cars and let customer drive it to their house = Instant savings!

@bosskev:

once when i was 16 and very, very stoned, my buddy and i walked into a pizza hut, realized we didn't have any money, said some kind words, and walked out with 3 large pepperoni pizzas that had been neglected to be picked up.

not the best pizza, but the price was right.

I'll check it out but I hope it's better then their dumb website. It used to be great until they updated it with that flash crap!!! Now when you first start out and want to order you DO NOT GET ALL OPTIONS. You can't even do things like add extra pepperoni. You have to follow through with the entire order until you get past the flash crap THEN EDIT your order and add what you really want.

LAME!!!

This app would be super sweet if it used GPS to find your closest PH like the movie apps do with the movie theaters... So you can order pizza anywhere and not have to update your zip every time.

@jcrockerman: In Soviet Kansas, pizza sends out for you.

@bosskev: I have disgusting fond memories of the Pizza Hut we used to go to in high school after the football games. I was in the marching band. After we all extracted our underwear and uncomfortable wool uniforms from our asses, we would go to the Pizza Hut on Brundage. The fact that they had a rather casual relationship with clean dishes never dissuaded us. In fact, I was sitting at that very Pizza Hut, wondering why my glass that was full of Coke tasted like I'd put half Root Beer in it, when I watched the most significant moment in my young teenaged life: Magic Johnson on Arsenio talking about HIV. That moment was later surpassed by Dr. Dre releasing The Chronic, and then seeing Pink Floyd at the Rose Bowl. Point is, Pizza Hut sucks.

@OMG! Ponies!: Yeah, "buddy"? I'll tell you where you can slot that assignment.

Now, 92BLS, back to our little "Hut"-to-heart. Do you remember how they used to make their crust? Crunchy like a cracker, but really thick so not cracker in a bad way. Oh, wow, THAT was a great foundation for toppings!

@bosskev: Your parents knew Pizza the Hut?

jcrockerman

Has Pizza Hut gotten any better?

Adisah

@tande04: I coulda sworn the 'Noid was Pizza Hut. I defer to you on this point.

@OMG! Ponies!: 'Cause then Domino's would sue them.

@bosskev: Are you two done reminiscing about Pizza Hut? Because if you are, you can get back to promoting comments. Buick, you're promoting comments tomorrow from 1PM - 6PM. Kev, I gave you the 6PM-11PM slot.

Why not have an "Avoid the 'Noid" minigame?

@92BuickLeSabre: Pizza Hut has always held a special place in my heart. Growing up in Kansas, my parents were friends with the guy that started the chain. No, I don't remember him or his name, but I did get to eat in the very first Hut.

@lpranal: Could be worse. You could have a Palm Pre where all you can order is Dominos.

...its gonna be years before they figure out where to stick more chee.....oh wait they just did.

I sooooooo wish there were a Pizza Hut within delivery distance.

I miss you Pizza Hut.

*holds arms out*
*cries*
*turns away*

Oh, and obligatory, I live in NYC, local pizza rulz, my obscure slice place (Gotham) is the best, Papa John's sucks, blah, blah, blah.

While this app is kinda cheesy, it does really get to the meat of the problem when it comes to ordering fast food.

It's things like this that make me glad I chose an iPhone over phones like the Pre or G1. Not that I'll use an app like this, but it's nice to know that it's there if ever I feel the need for something gimmicky.

now if only you could do this with REAL pizza, you'd be set.

also, the pic for that video reminds me of WonkaVisionâ„¢
