Pizza Supreme

If you think I am crazy for renting a car and driving three hours out of New York—through the Holland Tunnel, onto the New Jersey Turnpike, and across the Susquehanna River—just to eat at a Pizza Hut, know that I’m far from the only person who has made the trip. There are more than 6,000 Pizza Huts dotting the thoroughfares of the United States, and almost all of them look exactly the same: The interiors are squat, bland, and cramped; the dining options are restricted to takeout and delivery; there is no soundtrack, save for fluorescent lights buzzing overhead; and there is maybe a lonely chair waiting listlessly by the doorway.
