Pizza Hut’s shutting 68 sites, and honestly, who’s surprised? The modern pizza has become a sad, circular symbol of culinary laziness β€” a once-fiery icon of rebellion turned into a soggy bread coaster for regret and cheese-flavored despair. Once upon a time, pizza was a statement. Now it’s something you eat because the fridge looks at you funny.

πŸ• From Italian Passion to Beige Mediocrity

Let’s talk about it β€” pizza used to mean something. Naples gave us charred crusts, molten mozzarella, and tomato sauce that tasted like a love affair gone wrong. Now? It’s β€œStuffed Crust BBQ Chicken Deluxe” topped with pineapple, regret, and a faint corporate apology. Somewhere along the way, the pizza went from amore to meh.

And Pizza Hut? Oh, bless it. Once a neon temple of unlimited salad bars and soft-serve dreams, it’s now a relic β€” a nostalgic fever dream for millennials who remember when dine-in meant red cups, not β€œclick and collect.” They’ve been trying to β€œmodernize” for years, which is code for β€œcharging more for smaller slices.” Meanwhile, we’ve got sourdough hipster pizzas that cost Β£18 and come with a side of existential dread.

The round shape? Don’t get me started. That’s part of the problem. Everything in life is round β€” coins, clocks, stomachs. Where’s the creativity? Square it. Triangle it. Make it shaped like your disappointment. At least give us something interesting to mourn.

We used to eat pizza to celebrate life. Now we eat it to survive a Tuesday. And that, dear reader, is how the mighty pie lost its passion. πŸ…πŸ”₯
