Pizza Hut renaming itself Pasta Hut for April Fool's

Pizza Hut claims that it is renaming itself "Pasta Hut" as the company introduces a line of new Tuscani pastas. MORE HERE

I'm on Pizza Hut's mailing list and get emails from them on a regular basis. (Which in and of itself is kind of bizarre as I never order from Pizza Hut and they won't even deliver to my house. I live too far out from their driving range.)

Anyway, when I read this morning they were changing their name, my very gullible self believed it. I sat there for a moment wanting to know which genius thought it would be a great idea to change the name. Even though I knew good and well that it was April Fools Day, it never dawned on me that this might be a joke. I can be a little slow on the uptake sometimes.

I wonder if the pasta is good?

[BerryBaby]

They don't serve pasta. I think that was why they came up with the 'joke'.

I think this is to launch a new product though. Something they just started doing.

I would think the quality of pasta would be similar to the quality of pizza they serve (that determination depends on individual tastes )

It looks like it's all corkscrew pasta with different sauces.

The pasta really doesn't look appetizing to me. I find Pizza Hut's pizza sauce to be incredibly salty, so I'd bet that those pasta dishes are just one big salt fest as well.

[Food Network Fan]

I agree. Most delivery pizza is too salty for me.

I do like the Pan Pizza. Been a while, but it was good then!
