Promo Code: RWUGL34BRW is coming up as 50% for me for Pizza Hut as well up through the 23rd. Used it the other day, and got Hut Lover's seasoning + Stuffed Crust and it was quite badass. Not sure if the code is sharable though - but if anyone is intrigued by better pizza (sorry, Domino's is awful - better than they were but they're still worse than Little Caesar's) they could try it potentially.

I've found this to be true as well. Of course Round Table is the best around here but it's fucking expensive. Papa John's wins for the cheap delivery option.

If you'd have experienced the Domino's I have thusfar - you'd speak similarly I'm sure. Little Caesar's used to have a similar spot too - but they earned their way off thanks to it being supplied for a party and me trying it by accident before noticing the box, hah.
(Course Domino's is better than that one small chain up there I'm blanking on though - Gino's or something? They're god awful.)
I guess some people would like oversauced pizzas though (which is my complaint with Domino's and the local one that was up in MD that I'm forgetting - LC's was a cheese issue) - I always ask for light sauce everywhere, and theirs STILL comes oversauced constantly.

Yea I wonder if they changed the muenster/mozz ratio from back in the day or something... (or maybe I just got sick and tired from eating too much of it being that it was my second high school job)

I may have said it before but the $5 hot and ready at Little Caesar's is a miracle of modern technology. It's not "good pizza" by any reasonable definition, but the fact that you can get a half decent dinner for 2 with no waiting for $5 is unmatched anywhere else in the fast food universe. It's actually cheaper than buying a frozen pizza and cooking it at home.

Went to Cafe Rio today on this bro's recommendation. It wasn't my thing. I'd rather have Chipotle or Qdoba or Moe's or Freebirds or Wahoos over this.
The thing that really turned me off is that I order the sweet pork burrito, they throw a scoop of beans in there with all the juice add some salsa and cheese and then run it through their toaster oven. They package it up and I drive home (not too long, maybe 8 minutes). When I open it up and grab the burrito the bottom of it is all soggy. I don't need to have a huge mess when I eat a burrito. I don't want to have to handle it so gingerly or my fingers will press all the way into it. The chunks of pork were pretty unwieldly so I'd take a bite of the burrito and along with my bite came the rest of the pork so I get more than the mouthful I was expecting.
As far as flavor. It was fine. The tortillas are made fresh, which was a nice touch. All the rest of the ingredients were pretty tasty. I didn't really notice the salsa as I was eating it (I got the mild), so I'm not sure if it had much flavor or if I was just too focused on making sure everything didn't fall apart. I would also probably go with the standby chicken, if I were to go again.
Overall it was nice to try and expand my fast food (fast casual!) burrito dining repertoire, but I don't think it will go into rotation. I'll keep it in the back pocket when my friends want to go eat something different...

Glad you tried it, honestly you are the first person that has told me it was only "okay" and not "great." Regarding the burrito build you can tell them how much or how little you want of the ingredients. I always get mine enchilada style and I use a knife and fork because they package it on a foil plate instead of wrapped. I could see it being really messy trying to hoist that thing into your mouth. Like I said my favorite is the Pork Burrito, my wife always gets a Chicken Salad and my buddy that introduced me to it always get Steak Tacos.

Dude I've been a fan of their bread sticks since I was a kid and to this day I prefer them over all other chain pizza places.
Well...I mean until I had Toppers Taco sticks. Holy shit those things are magical.
