When I was in high school one of my favorite foods was Pizza Hut Meat Lovers Pizza, on the "Pan" style crust. In recent years, however, I haven't had any Pizza Hut pizza, because I've become somewhat OCD about overly greasy foods. I don't eat Big Macs and various other greasy foods anymore either.
Today in my junk mail I got a pizza hut flyer, and they were offering that deal for any pizza, any size, any crust, any toppings for $10. I thought, "Hmmm... maybe I'll give it another try." So after my ultimate game I called up and ordered one. I purposely got the Pan style crust, just to challenge my OCD-ness and see if I could handle it.
The guy on the phone asked what toppings I wanted. I said "All except anchovies." Well it turns out they don't even have anchovies anymore. What's the world coming to, when a man can't get anchovies on his pizza? Not that I wanted them, they're really disgusting, but it just seems like I should be able to get them if I want them, right? Anyway, I asked for everything, but as he was going through the list I said no to Italian snausages, mushrooms, bacon, and tomatoes. So what I ended up with was pepperoni, ham, green peppers, onions, pineapple, beef, chicken, black olives, jalapenos, and extra cheese. (By the way, who had the bright idea to use red onions? I'm sure they're just trying to be more colorful, but to me red onions taste like white onions with a strip of purple scotch tape taped on them.)
When the pizza showed up, it was pretty heavy with toppings... and grease. Way more Supreme than a Supreme. I couldn't even eat it with my hands, I had to use a knife and fork. It was pretty good, but WAY too greasy. I ate a few pieces anyway, but I think that's the last time I'll ever have the Pan style crust. It's just too much.
Adios, Pan pizza, we had a good run.

The "hand-tossed" crust is bready and not nearly as greasy - I got that style over Thanksgiving break w/ the same deal and many of the same toppings, and I was amazed at how different the crust was. If you don't believe me look at this: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=34508457&l=0cf77edda4&id=193305961
Do they deliver this $10 deal, or is it takeout only? I still haven't sworn off the pan crust.
The one here charged $2.50 for delivery. So with tax and tip you're into it at least $15.
