Hear hear!

Although I do occasionally order from Pizza Hut, I consider their products
to be the pizza equivalent of Nescafe.  That is, something that claims to
be a pizza (or coffee) but is about as far removed as it is possible to get.
Provided you don't think of them as being pizza, they're a tasty snack.

Best pizza place I know of in London is Basilico in Putney.  They do
excellent take-away pizzas, and their smoothies are the ideal mixer for
vodka.

Best pizza I've ever had was at some place in Naples the name of which
I forget.
