Pizza Hut Pizza Mia
I take care of most of most of my pizza needs either from my freezer (when on a budget), or from my excellent privately owned neighborhood pizza shop (if I want to splurge a little). But sometimes I like a little bit of variety, or happen to want something delivered on a Sunday (my guy is closed on Sundays). Out of the larger chains of pizza shops, Pizza Hut has been my favorite for as long as I can remember, and I almost always enjoy their goods. Their marinara sauce is the best I’ve ever had (anywhere!), and I always order an extra cup on the side for dipping crusts.
Naturally I became pretty interested when they started running this three medium sized Pizza Mia pizzas for $5 each special ($7 if ordered individually). That is a really great deal, right? Well ladies and gentlemen, my excitement quickly transformed into dismay; these things are horrible. I thought giving them the special ‘Pizza Mia’ moniker was just a simple marketing gimmick, but no. Giving Pizza Mia’s their own name was just a way to pawn off cheap, sparsely topped, cruddy crusted impostors of your real product, without giving your usual ‘good stuff’ a bad name. These are not, I repeat not, your regular medium Pizza Hut pizzas. Their was barely enough cheese to cover the pie, I’ve gotten more pepperonis on a personal pan before, and the sauce was dry and pasty.
I like to try to keep negative reviews short, because I’m a positive person and do not like tearing things down. But I do like warning my readers when a bad product, that has the chance to be ordered by the millions, is floating around the market place so you guys can avoid it. And with that, I say, please avoid the Pizza Mia. Spend a few extra bucks, and get the real deal.

Glad I could offer some useful advice… keep coming back; who knows? I might do it again

Remember those $1 Totinos pizzas at wal-mart that didn’t fill you up that made you think you found a nugget of consumer gold? I concur with the consumers corner here saying that these are an inferior product.
Boboli bread, a handful of fermented cow juice, and the dried up summer sausage you found that your uncle gave you for chrismas would be better on a pizza.

I just got this pizza and it really does SUCK. Pizza hut is my favorite pizza. This crap tastes like the school lunch pizza we got on fridays, actually it’s worse. I’ll stick to domino’s 555.

I ordered this pizza on a whim– thinking, as many others have, that the pizza on the commercial would be the pizza that ended up in my kitchen. Wrong. It was OK when dunked in extra marinara sauce, but otherwise, the crust was bland and tasteless, except that it had the aftertaste frostbitten dough. The cheese was really sparse, but it was good. The cheese might very well have been the best part of the pizza. Too bad there was so little of it.
I don’t order pizza often, as I try to watch my girlish figure, but instead of being a guilty pleasure, this was a complete waste of time, money, and calories.

You must have had a really crappy pizza made by someone who probably didn’t care about their job because I actually like them a lot and order them at least 2x a month. You should have called the store and complained. Pizza Hut would have made it right by sending a fresh batch to you. Now because of your complaint pretty high up in web search there are people who wont try Pizza Mia’s. They are cheap, have a lighter flavor and delicious. Try it and if you don’t like it call the store and they will fix it, THEY WANT YOUR BUSINESS!!

This crap doesn’t come close to qualifying as pizza. It’s terrible. Sorry Melissa, if your’s are great, than you should tip your cook good for making it alright for you. I made the mistake of ordering this at home once, and have had it at work where I lobby hard for any other company sponsored food, different restaurant, same dreadful result. Terrible food. Prisoners eat better. By buying these concoctions you’re Okaying the coroporates to continue to sell garbage to the general public. I wouldn’t feed this crap to my dog.

I am an Australian working for their company so cannot say anything insulting about their product but today I brought home a small 9 inch pizza from my local independent pizza shop and the product looked better.I also work there once a week at the present time.
