Diabetics at Pizza Hut
Pizza is neither a great meal nor the worst for diabetes. All you need is some fact check and monitoring while ordering your pizza. Diabetics can opt for thin crust or skinny pizza at Pizza Hut and avoid the cheese topping to cut down on the excess fat and sodium. If you have diabetes, then ensure to check your portion size when you order a pizza. One or max. two slices are enough. You can also avoid meat if possible and go for wings as a meat option.
Foods to Avoid at Pizza Hut for Diabetics:
You must avoid Meat Lovers Pizza with Original Pan Crust as it contains over 1000mg sodium and will add 470 calories in your meal. You should also skip Super Supreme Pizza Large Original Pan Slice which is too high in sodium and fat. Chicken wings are often tempting but you must control and restrict yourself from ordering Traditional Honey BBQ Bone-in Wings as it can add up to your sugar levels if you eat too many. On average, a person orders or consumes six chicken wings pieces in a day.
Sides must be avoided at all costs especially if it's Bacon Cheddar Fries with Ranch Dipping Cup for its high sodium content. You must also avoid New York Style Cheesecake with Applesauce as dessert as one slice of this dessert item contains 86g sugar. Pizza Hut also offers other Italian dishes such as Pasta.

Italian Cuisine
The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.
Pizza
Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.

Pretty lacking on the buffet in variety its no cicis and looked to have sat under a heat lamp for a while.

I've stopped by here twice for the pizza buffet for lunch, and both were just three star experiences. The pizza supply is typically middle of the line. I really wish that they'd actually cut all the way through their slices for the pizzas and the bread sticks (especially the cinnasticks!) The pizza is pretty good though! The service has always been great, and I'll definitely convince my coworkers to head back again another day with me. Definitely a classic, old town feel to it.
(3)Mike D.
This place has changed a lot in the last 2 years. The place is dirty, the employees look distressed, and the order is always wrong. Missing sauce, bread sticks, wings etc. So to avoid items being missed on my order I do pick up now. All I hear is yelling and cursing in the back. Seriously??? Never coming back to this franchise.
(2)Marissa A.
This place is ridiculous!! Delivered my pizza with no cheese all on the side of the box burnt breadsticks so they credited me I ordered a large pizza and they decided I wanted a personal pan pizza!!!! they suck avoid at all cost!
(1)Jackie C.
I have ordered from this location on two different occasions. The first time they got my order wrong and were really rude about fixing it. The second time not only did they get my order wrong but the food was cold and the boxes were covered in some sticky substance and looked like they had been dropped. When I called to ask them to fix it they told me they were out of certain things I ordered. They should have informed me of that before sending out food to see if I wanted to modify my order or cancel it. I will never order from this location again.
(1)Abraham A.
Speedy service, friendly staff and great pizza and wings.
(4)Rob A.
I don't find many of these old style Pizza Hut structures anymore. They seem to be going away for a more modern look. This location still does the lunch buffet and that is what I was there for. It's about what you expect from a Pizza Hut.
