For me, it's Pizza Hut. It was a staple for me and the family as a kid. A whole ass event where I was more excited to go to play Rampage on the little arcade machine than the pizza itself. First time I saw a salad bar. Pizza was actually edible. The vibes felt homey. Now, it's utter garbage. PIzza bad, vibes bad, weirdly just expensive enough to not be worth paying.

Fuck I miss those Pizza Hut nights after a football game. The smell, the sound of families actually having a good time, the ambient lighting, the wood interior and hard ass booth seating. And if you were lucky maybe your crush was there eating with their family. idk, maybe I just miss being a kid, but the hut has definitely changed

The red and white Tiffany chandeliers over the booth. Gave it like a low lighting vibe that felt almost cozy. Especially mixed with the cigarette smoke lol. Pizza Hut back then was awesome.

We have one solitary sit-down Pizza Hut here, red cups and everything. Pizza isn’t as good anymore but it’s a nice throwback

And the pool hall style stained glass hanging lamp over the salad bar that said Pizza Hut
