Allison Griswold reports at Slate that Pizza Hut wants to help you order your food subconsciously with a new product that is being tested at 300 locations across the UK that uses eye-tracking technology to allow diners to order within seconds using only their eyes. The digital menu shows diners a canvas of 20 toppings and builds their pizza based on which toppings they look at longest. To try again, a diner can glance at a "restart" button. "Finally the indecisive orderer and the prolonged menu peruser can cut time and always get it right," a Pizza Hut spokesperson said in a statement, "so that the focus of dining can be on the most important part - the enjoyment of eating!" According to news release from Tobii Technology, the Subconscious Menu can determine which ingredients your mind and eyes have been looking at longest in exactly 2.5 seconds. The menu then uses a powerful mathematical algorithm to identify, from 4896 possible ingredient combinations, the customer’s perfect pizza. "Tests on the Subconscious Menu have been incredibly positive with 98% of people, recommended a pizza with ingredients they love."

Do not bother with their specialty crap. It is all mostly frozen and has lowish turnover.
Get a hand tossed peperoni well done. It will be exactly like you remember. Because that is the original style that they used to sell. Even then it is still hit or miss. About 80% of the time it is done correctly.
They recently cut down the time to cook (so they can make more pizzas). Basically makes the pizza slimy.
Dominos keeps screwing with the sauce. One month it will have too much sugar. The next too much of some spice. Think they have changed it about 10 times in the past 10 years.
Where I live there are 3 other places you can get ny style. But it ends up being rather meh... There is one place that makes a seriously good sicilian style but they will only make 2 per day and 99% of the time someone else has bought it. So I am stuck with the hut and have to hack their pizzas to make them good.
