3 medium (12″)pies for 15$….

If you worry about quality and price wouldn’t you be better served with purchasing a large 16″ pie for 12 dollars from an independent and getting fresh made dough and fresh tomato sauce?

I know I can feed my family of 4 just as well with a 16″ pie which tastes better and I will save 3 bucks.

After acquiring a taste for pizza from growing up in NY from my favorite local Sicilian pizzeria, I find the real deal from Italy to not be so satisfying. I tried their Margherita style, which is topped with tomatoes and other bits of what I think was sausage. They had a spice rub in olive oil in a glass container on the table which I opted not to use and they actually cooked it in a wood burning stove in their wall where you could watch it being made. They serve it whole, unsliced. I believe it’s my fault for digging right in and burning my tongue… I think that ruined the experience for me.

I never had Pizza Mia, but I know from experience that Pizza Huts around the world taste very different. Ones in NY are great, so are ones in Florida, but one in NJ had by far the worst pizza I ever had. Worse than the CiCis I had in FL and TX (though I blame myself for that for trying all the different types… I can’t stomach a majority of sweet things that I don’t expect to be sweet).

I tried to order the Pizza Mia on several occasions, but they told me that they were out of them at the moment. I really don’t understand how they would be out of them. What are they, premade frozen pizzas? Does anyone know if that’s the case?

There are 2 critical points for me on the Pizza Mia:
1) If you like “sweet” tasting pizzas, generally speaking you will like the Mia (and vice versa, dislike it if you don’t). I dont care at all for sweet pizza taste (thus why I dislike Papa John’s with a passion and did not enjoy the Mia).
2) Unlike some bargain/economy buys, where the value seems to be there and you do actually feel as if you got a good “deal”, the Pizza Mia fails miserably…the ones I’ve sampled skimped so noticeably on toppings that I nearly demanded a refund before even tasting.

Little Caesars has hot n’ ready $5 *large* ‘zas where I live, and depsite what some people say, I enjoy LC’s pizzas immensely and will stick with those. They are a fabulous value.

I would *not* recommend the Pizza Mia to anyone
except “sweet” pizza afficianados.

I really hated this pizza mia.

As for being original, Italian style – I hate original, Italian style pizza too. Americans have vastly improved on that. Just because something is in the ‘original style’ doesn’t mean its good.

The pizza mias I got were so thin that three of them stacked would have equaled the thickness of a regular pan pizza. Seriously, it was like eating sauce and cheese on a cracker! And the sweetness makes it awful.

Lets face it, Americans (and MOST of the world’s) taste is towards a savoury, thicker pizza. Pizza Hut is a large chain. They shouldn’t be playing with their customers’ expectations. If you fancy yourself some sort of gourmand, then fine, there’s lots of ‘authentic’ small shops you can go to. But there shouldn’t be this thin, sweet crap in the large chains.

I personally LOVE the pizza mias. I think most people that hate them are just too used to “shitty” pizza from places like dominos or frozen aisle.

First off, I’m not a shill for the company. I’ve always been an on again off again type of Pizza Hut customer.

Honestly, I don’t see the problem with this pizza. If anything, the crust tastes like it’s going for a Papa John’s vibe. It’s kind of sweet, sort of like the sauce (which I also had no trouble with). I got extra cheese, and it was fine. A little bit of grease, but not enough to worry about.

I ordered one Pizza Mia, with extra cheese (because I heard they skimp) and pepperoni along with a large hand-tossed to compare it to (I know what the pan is like). Frankly, I liked the Pizza Mia better. I ate a slice of that, enjoyed it, then tried a bite out of the hand-tossed and put it down. Then I grabbed another Pizza Mia slice.

Is it cheap? Yes, but that doesn’t detract from it. I’ve had far worse from Dominoes and Little Caesar’s. I’m sure they add sugar to the sauce, and whatever else, but I don’t care. Frankly, I like my sauce a little sweeter. Seriously, I was expecting so much worse from all the reviews I’ve seen online.

Maybe it depends on who’s making it, I don’t know. In any case, my location was solid. I’d definitely order this again. Well, maybe I should hold off on that statement till I see how it affects me tomorrow!

I don’t know what people were expecting for $5.99 (or $5 each if you order 3, whatever) but it’s cheaper than a Digiorno and tastes better. Don’t know what else to say.

I’m amazed at the complaints here. It’s a $5 pizza! As a consumer, a person should be intelligent enough to understand that for $5 there is no way that you’ll get a pizza that is the quality of a $20 pizza. You get what you pay for! I think this pizza is perfectly priced! Is it my favorite pizza? probably not, but I wouldn’t say it’s disgusting either. I agree with what someone else wrote…if you like greasy, loaded with toppings, traditional Pizza Hut pizza, then this isn’t the pizza for you. But if you honesly thought you were going to get that for $5, then you’re crazy and have no reason to complain!

I have had this pizza. It’s the pizza I get when my whole family wantes pizza and I don’t fee llike spending $45 to feed them all. I can get all 3 boys their own pizza for $5 ea and feel good about it. And they never complain about it.

Shame on you all for assuming that you should get everything you want without paying for it. Be happy that there are companies out there that try to offer economical choices to us.
