Pizza Hut’s Beginning

There’s a Retro Pizza Hut Inside This Amazing New Haven Air Bnb
New Haven is the Pizza Capital of the world, and if El Presidente comes back to town, I found the perfect place for him to sleep off the cheese coma – A very cool rental available on Air Bnb that features a classic Pizza Hut booth, complete with those big red plastic cups.

Retro Pizza Hut booth
Look at the attention to detail! The jukebox, authentic Pizza hut overhead light, and oh those sweet red plastic cups. I want to chew ice nuggets out of those things so bad right now. The table and booths are perfect too.

Authentic pizza house menu
This is the menu to expect at 75% of the neighborhood pizza shops fighting it out around us. I wish more would offer Sicilian Pies.

Take a rest between Sally’s and Modern
After eating 23 slices of New Haven pizza, you’ll be able to rest your weary dogs underneath a couple of plush pepperoni pizza throws, while gazing lovingly up at the sweet face of Patrick Dempsey, oh, ‘McDreamy’.

Pizza Hut, after dark
If you are feeling frisky after inhaling 8 slices of Bar’s finest, turn off the overhead light, and crank up the jams on the jukebox, just like we used to back in 84.

This is amazing, a beautiful selection of breads and desserts to wash those pounds of mootz and bacon chunks into your stomach.

Nope, it’s not what you thought
I did too, at first glance I thought it was a retro overhead tank toilet like the Godfather, but Tessio could hide something in the vanity.

After a long day on Wooster, Crown, and State Streets, you’ll need a pizza-free room.
