Q about the new regional styles by Pizza Hut

Watching the All Star game on Tuesday night I noticed several commercials for Pizza Huts new regional styles that pitted one city against another, they claim to have 6 new styles but none of them are listed-or at least I could't find them at the Pizza Hut home page. I saw an ad that had Philly against L A's Venice Beach, a Philly cheesesteak pizza versus a Pacific spinach veggie style.  Anyone know which are the other 4 styles they have in this new campaign????
 
Our granchildren and their friends, all ranging from 5 to 9 years old have pizza parties at our house once a month and we order Pizza Hut or Papa John's pizza for them over Domino, Little Cesars and some local chains
 
An in advance thank you

Never mind y'all, the ad came on again and it turns out to be Domino's new American Legends  style, so we won't be ordering them at any time for our adolescent's pizza part as we don't do Domino's

what's the difference between   Domino's and PizzaHut?

Jon, there was a discussion about those American Legends here a while back:

Man you had me going there - I knew Domino's has that nonsense but I thought PH was going to their youth campaign/"with it" silliness - one is dumber than the other.

And their pizzas are equally pitiful.

Among our circle of young and mature adult family members and friends, the consensus by far is that given a choice between those 2 brands, Pizza Hut is better. Grant it, they are not in the class of a good local pizzaria's pies but P H is better. In fact I like the P H bread sticks
Domino's and Cesar's are the worse of the national chains IMO while PH and Papa John's are a bit better
 

 

No dude, you have to try the Pacific Northwest Veggie with a thin crust. It's actually very good.

Pizza Hut just came back with "The Edge" pizza; at least in my area.  I always liked that one.

I just saw an add on TV for that "edge" pizza. Hey, it looks good.

No way.......looks and sounds gross...

it might look good but reality is another story.

"Regional style" is New York pizza v. Chicago pizza.
Actual pizza that existed prior to thius campaign.

Not the crap that Pizza Hut invented to sell more pizza.

I wish Pizza Hut..sorry "Da Hut" would bring back the Chicago Pizza. I liked it much more than the Uno chain. Neither are good as the one I make, but I get lazy sometimes.

Papa John's is garbage. I asked for a large pepperoni well done cut into 6. The guy said he couldn't cut it into 6. I actually argued with this dude (and the manager) for about 5 min. No can cut...no can cut pizza 8 cut, want breadstick? So of course I ordered 2 pies with the breadsticks, then called another place, ordered a hoagie, called PJ after I figured the pizzas were in the oven, me cancel pizza...no pizza, but still want breadstick!

Take that Papa John's!

I guess you showed them.
Aren't there any actual pizzarias in Pittsburgh?

All chain pizzeria companies are not in business to give their customers a quality pizza on par with NY or Chicago style pizzas.

They are in business to sell as much low quality crap as they can and make as much money as they can and the public be damned.

If you have no pizza savvy you will eat Dominos and Pizza Hut your entire life and shove it down your kids and grandkids and great grandkids etc throats forever and always.

I would rather not eat any pizza than have to eat chain pizza.  With very rare exception - such as the Sbarros on the New Jersey Turnpike - who actually can make a pizza pie that tastes like it should - remarkably the Sbarros in SW Ohio make their pizzas with crusts that are worse than Dominos - go figure

"Pizza savvy" does not exist in Kansas. Pizza Hut started here.

It seems then Kansas is not a place for true pizza lover to live - unless he has sworn off pizza due to health reasons.

It sounds like most of Ohio also.

I  generally just make my own - my Stepfather was first generation Italian and taught me well. 
The Mexican food is excellent here, though.

Making pizza at home is not a skill I have mastered.  I do go nuts making paellas though as I had Spanish uncle who made them outside on his wood fireplace every summer when I was growing up and all the kids picked up how to make them for their own families.

I moved about 40 miles away from Pgh a while back. There are some very good places around here, but either are closed on Sunday, don't take credit cards, don't open until 4pm, etc. Sometimes I get stuck and have to go to a chain.

It depends on what  you go for and what part of Kansas you live in.  I would say that most pizza places in Kansas are not worth stopping for.  However, in a metropolitan area, like Kansas City, you can find some good places, but you have to be willing to do some looking and driving.  Also, depending on what you consider 'good pizza', that will also sway the judgement.  Most folks here don't have very discriminating tastes. They grew up on Pizza Hut and think that is pretty good (or at least decent).  You can find New York slices at places like Papa Keno's  or D'Bronx.  Mafia Mike's also has good NY-style pizza, imo.   George's Pizza  in Overland Park I'm told is good (by an former New Jersey native), but personally I cringe whenever I read "St. Louis style pizza".  That is not typically my thing. 
 
If you're into more Midwestern-Bar type pizza, Old Shawnee is quite good.  Some folks here like Pizza Shoppe but I've never acquired the taste - the quality is too cheap.  On the Missouri side, there is Tim's Pizza Place in Independence which has been reviewed here on Roadfood.
 
For a decent Neopolitan pie, Spin! is okay, although their oven is not truly an authentic Neopolitan oven because they use gas to heat it instead of wood.
 
Of course, these places are not plentiful and you might have to drive a ways to get to them, depending on where you live, which is why most people here just pick up the phone and call some place like Domino's.  Delivery is WAY overrated.  Get off your butt and go to the place to eat your pizza.  That's the best way to judge the food.
 
As for the rest of the state of Kansas, Niagara has it right: you're hurting.
 
Therefore, I also make my own pizza at home and it is better than 90% of the pizza places in the whole metro area.
