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. Have a look at this place, it’s available for under $100 a night.

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.

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.

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’.

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.

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.
