" Pizza is likely already your favorite junk food, but if you&amp;#039;re into grabbing a slice as much as we are then you need to know a few things about one of the country&amp;#039;s top shops. Pizza Hut is more than just a red roof churning out pizza boxes that double as projectors. Here&amp;#039;s everything you need to know about the brand before you order your favorite pie.\u00A0 1. Five bucks can get you\u00A0a medium pizza.\u00A0 Or a double order of breadsticks. Or boneless wings. Or Tuscan-style pasta. The $5 Flavor Menu is a new 2016 addition and it includes other\u00A0customer favorites like a\u00A0giant-size chocolate-chip cookie. The catch: You have to buy two or more items to redeem\u00A0the deal.\u00A0 2. The hot-dog pizza crust was actually pretty amazing. Seriously. Don&amp;#039;t swear it off until you&amp;#039;ve tried it. Though it received harsh criticism\u00A0from naysayers like John Stewart, the pizza has some redeeming qualities\u2014like offering a two-in-one appetizer-dinner combo for your hungry friends. And its cheesy counterpart, the Cheesy Bites pizza, wasn&amp;#039;t half bad either.           Raise your hand if you could eat this entire &#127829; by yourself &#128587;&#128587;&#128587; #Delish #DamnThatsDelish A photo posted by Delish (@delish) on Sep 25, 2015 at 10:35am PDT     3. That\u00A0&amp;quot;dresser&amp;quot; of treats is actually a huge money saver. For\u00A0$20, you can completely customize a\u00A0tri-level box of pizza, breadsticks, and dessert from the &amp;#039;za chain. In the so-called &amp;quot;dresser&amp;quot; you get two medium pizzas, any flavor of\u00A0breadsticks, and an oversize chocolate chip cookie\u2014plus dipping sauces. Basically it&amp;#039;s a three-course pizza-centric meal that saves you some serious cash. (Ordering all three of these individually would normally set you back about $35.) 4. Combos are\u00A0basically Pizza Hut&amp;#039;s schtick.\u00A0 Just when you thought cheese bites and pigs in a blanket was all the restaurant would ring around your pie, Pizza Hut debuted\u00A0our favorite madcap creation: the breadstick crust pizza. We honestly can&amp;#039;t get enough of it. It&amp;#039;s a time and money saver. Order one pie and you get those famous, customer-favorite breadsticks automatically. Start with them or save them for last, but whatever you do, don&amp;#039;t skimp on the marinara.\u00A0           Breadstick crust pizza from @pizzahut = &#128163;&#128076;&#127996;&#128163;&#128076;&#127996; #Delish #DamnThatsDelish A video posted by Delish (@delish) on Sep 23, 2015 at 1:03pm PDT     5. It was the first national pizza\u00A0chain to remove artificial flavors and\u00A0colors\u00A0from its core lineup.\u00A0 It joins\u00A0big brands like General Mills, Campbell&amp;#039;s, and Chipotle\u00A0in taking out the fake stuff.\u00A0And we agree that\u00A0the eats are better for it. 6. There&amp;#039;s an entire cheesy merch line. You know, so you can get decked out in slices via patterned\u00A0socks, pepperoni-brim\u00A0hats, sunglasses, yoga pants (wait, what?), even blankets. We have to admit, it&amp;#039;s a pretty cheesy obsession.      7. A\u00A0Pizza Hut blog exists and it&amp;#039;s hilarious. It&amp;#039;s called Hut Life and you should probably follow it.\u00A0One of the\u00A0most recent posts, &amp;quot;Awkward Moments Made Better By Pizza,&amp;quot; is a laugh-out-loud account of blind dates, small kitchen fires, and other cringe-worthy stories gone wrong\u2014until the greasy\u00A0pies\u00A0showed up.\u00A0 8. Stuffed crust debuted in 1995 and has been a major seller ever since.\u00A0 Because cheese makes everything better, duh.  9. That amazing &amp;quot;read a book, get a free personal pan pizza&amp;quot; program is still alive and well. Apparently childhood isn&amp;#039;t over.\u00A0Pizza Hut just celebrated the\u00A030th anniversary of its Book It!\u00A0program that promotes students to read in exchange for free personal pan pizzas. Since its inception, the program has enlisted more than 60 million students. 10. Pizza Hut has delivered to outer space. In 2001, it became the first company to do so after it delivered &amp;#039;za\u00A0to the International Space Station.  11. Gluten-free pizza is a specialty, not an after-thought. \u00A0Pizza Hut totally\u00A0prioritized the dietary restriction by partnering with Udi&amp;#039;s, a hallmark name in gluten-free breads and baked goods. Plus, the chain is certified gluten-free by the\u00A0Gluten Intolerance Group (GIG)\u00A0when it comes to the GF cheese and pepperoni pizzas.\u00A0 12. The red roof originally opened way back\u00A0in 1958. In Wichita, KS\u00A0of all places. But it wasn&amp;#039;t until 1969 that the chain got its signature red-hot roof logo that we know it for now. 13. Pizza Hut sponsored Back to the Future Part II\u00A0and its fictional dehydrated pizza was\u00A0featured in the flick.\u00A0 On Back to the Future Day (October 21, 2015) the brand launched limited-edition &amp;quot;dehydrated pizza&amp;quot; packets in conjunction with Pepsi Perfect, which was\u00A0also given spotlight in the movie.\u00A0  Follow Delish on Instagram.
