It's only for a trial period, but wtf.

It's because of Pizza Hut's new line of Toscani Pastas (including an upscale version of the "comfort-food" staple, mac and cheese). Like the pizzas, you can order the pastas delivered or carry-out. Pizza Hut has been doing a series of TV ads featuring the pastas (including some references to "Pasta Hut"); this is likely a clip from one of them).

Old news, basically.

I just read that its due to them wanting a 'healthier' image.

It may be; however, the pastas have been added globally. However, interest in standalone franchises doing *just* the pastas is global.

In my opinion, Pasta is bad as Pizzas, there is nothing healthy about Pasta. They are both make from Flour.

Heresy is what it is :laugh:

Here, here!

Domino`s is where its at, although not showing GDA on their foods bothers me slightly, probs indicates 2000 calories per pizza and a **** load of hydrogenated fat!

Still, aslong as they dont call themselves Kerplunk i`m sure pasta hut aint gonna bother them.

Actually, how unhealthy *is* a pizza? Isn't it usually dependent on the toppings and the crust thereof? (Pizza Hut has several vegetarian pizzas on their standard menu.) The *unhealthy* reputation of the humble pizza is largely undeserved; in fact, it's no more deserved than the similar reputation of some pasta dishes (amazingly, this includes raviolis and other stuffed pasta-shell dishes, in addition to the comfort food of choice in the United States, mac-and-cheese) and I wish the rumor-mongers would stop.

The worst thing about their whole handling of this is they decided to start this campaign around April 1st, so now everyone's confused as to whether this is real or not. Idiots.

In truth pizza is not that unhealthy.

Yeah i know, but image isnt usually based on facts but public perception and Pasta is usually viewed as healthy.

I'll go try and find where i read it :p#

Also says in there its due to pasta being healthier but also says what you said that pizza's are healthy (unless you add alot of crap to them :p).

I thought it was just a publicity stunt, they've only changed a few Pizza Huts in the UK and that's only temporary.
