New Pizza Hut open for business

Andrew Grissom prepares some honey BBQ wings yesterday at the new and improved Pizza Hut Wing Street.

There is also a full line of sandwiches served with fries such as steak and cheese, honey BBQ chicken, and roasted turkey with provolone. Of course there’s still Pizza Hut’s famous pizza, but now there are many more options.

‘You can come here if you want something other than pizza,’ said longtime manager Elaine Lawson. ‘There are some people who have eaten with us three times a week for years and they always order the same thing. That’s fine, only now we have some different menu items to offer.’

In addition to redoing its menu, the restaurant has a new look both inside and out. There are TVs for folks who want to watch the big game, and all new furnishings.

‘The atmosphere is different, much more upscale looking,’ said Elaine. ‘And we needed this because our last dining room makeover was in 1995. It’s a new look and a new atmosphere, but it’s the same people and we’re still cooking our pizza the same way.’
