Pizza Hut — Restaurant in Zephyrhills

Easy as ABC!!! ??? Well, sort of! Don't believe me? READ ON! LOL (lengthy, but so was The Wizard of Oz!)

First, let's look at this location's history, shall we? Years ago, this triangle corner of land started out as a Biff Burger restaurant. Then, along came ABC Pizza, in the same building. BUT, the building situated there was NOT the SAME building. It was a different building. A VERY different building. After a while, that old building began to feel its age. And let me mention it had totally unforgettable restrooms! THE 'rest rooms' were not much bigger than on an airliner. Oh yes.. Anyway, that old building served countless hungry Z-hills folks for a very long time.

One day, along came a fire. Then a wrecking ball! Bam! BAm! BAM! Old ABC Pizza building leveled! To the ground! Flatter than a pizza crust!

New building erected on same spot. The current building that you'll see when you visit. New signs went up and it was, once again, ABC Pizza! This lasted... for...a while.

Then, one day the ABC Pizza signs came down. Newer building just sat there, looking rather empty and dejected. While all of Zephyrhills wondered and missed the old/new ABC, time passed. Until one sparkling day, a truckload of brand new, bright & shiny signs arrived on site! What's this? There were NO ABC Pizza signs on that truck! This new batch of signs read 'Sunrise Eatery'! And so it was....for...a while. And what fun it was...while it lasted.

Sure, you guessed it! Those new/NOT ABC Pizza signs came down one day! They magically made their way to the other side of the same parking lot, to be posted on the new Sunrise Eatery building. And they remain there to this day..

Once again, newer than the old ABC/this ABC/Sunrise Eatery building sat empty. Alone. Questioning its worth.

But hold on! HERE COMES ANOTHER truckload of NEW signs! Wanna guess??? ABC Pizza! Yep! ABC Pizza to Sunrise Eatery to ABC Pizza once again! And THIS....is where our current story begins......

We've been long time fans of most ANY ABC Pizza locations! Years ago, we'd make the trek to distant locations for their All-You-Can-Eat Spaghetti Specials. Or, because we like the crew at a particular location. Now, back to Zephyrhills.

This past week, I was travelling the breadth and width of Z-Hills solo for two days in a row. Both days, I needed to catch a good lunch, at a great price. Amusingly, I stopped both days at this newest/new ABC Pizza/blah/blah/blah....LOL

BOTH days my foodie quest was entrusted to the VERY capable & talented Miss Lulu! She was my server extraordinaire! Heck, with a name like Lulu would YOU expect anything less? Her outgoing personality made going-out-to-eat a real treat!

Day One, I ordered the Chicken Souvlaki, which came with a Greek Salad and a side of rice pilaf(I like that word pilaf, don't you?).. Lulu whomped up one heck of a beautiful Greek Salad for me! It was SO perfect, I took a picture of it, then did one of those Check-In things on social media. I got a lot of Yum 'Likes' on that. Everything was delicious.

Enter Day Two. To my delight, Lulu greeted me at the door. Even though she had the requisite mask on, I knew the eyes and the voice. I took a seat. She didn't skip a beat. Unsweet Tea. Check! Greek Salad. Check! No Souvlaki today, salad is PLENTY! Once again, Lulu presented her masterpiece of a salad she personally prepped. Wow!, I said. More Yum 'Likes', and those 'Likes' started with me!

IF you are NOT aware of ABC Pizza tradition, let me let you in on this... THEY have THE best 'house' dressing! Whether in the old plastic squeeze bottle, or in today's safer capped cup, it is sure to peak your Greek! Salad! YUMMMM!

So here we are, at the conclusion of this story. See? It wasn't as long as some dusty old novel. And it will be WAY more fun to follow this Yellow Brick Road! To that little triangle of...

At first my experience was less than ideal and I was rather ticked off. I ordered my pizza online at around 1:30pm and it said it would be delivered by around 2:30pm. I thought it was kind of a long wait for it being a Thursday after lunch, but we were hanging out by the pool, so we were fine with waiting a little while.

I ended up called the Zephyrhills location after my pizza was due and was told they never got the order. I can't remember his name, but the guy on the phone was very helpful and got a hold of some sort of customer support (at least that's what I think it was). They told him they cancelled my order after they tried calling me three times (which they never called me at all). They said they didn't deliver to my address, I guess. Which is weird, because I've ordered online a few other times before. But the guy I was on the phone with told them that they do deliver where we were. Whoever he was talking to wasn't helpful at all and made it seem like it was my fault that the order got cancelled. Anyway, whoever was on the online ordering end of things really messed everything up. I was hangry, my kid was hangry, and we had no lunch and it was after 2:30pm! Haha. So the person I was on the phone with helped us get our lunch. He went above and beyond to help us. Then what made it even better is when our food got delivered! I've never been more happy and excited to see someone carrying a pizza! I can't remember the delivery guy's name, either! I'm sorry! But he told me that he accidentally forgot my 2 liter of soda, so he stopped by Publix and bought one! Who does that!? I was so impressed and happy! If either of you ever see this, I appreciate what you did for my family! Thank you so much! I will definitely order from this...

I would like to tell you how the food was unfortunately I never received it. When I ordered it I got it confirmation that said it would be here one time, then I get a message that it was going to be 20 minutes after that time, then I get a message that the drivers having a hard time finding my location, so I called the driver and he spoke about two words of English, I'm not saying anything negative about him however I couldn't communicate with him. So basically at the end of the call it sounded to me like he wasn't coming which obviously he wasn't. I contacted the store I was on hold for 4 minutes I hung up and tried calling again and was asked to hold and I declined to hold and was told that they were very busy and it would take them 5 minutes to get back to me. Well at the time of this review it's been over 10 minutes I haven't heard anything from the store when I was put on hold the first time whoever answered the phone tell me that they were very busy and whatever but regardless they haven't called me back yet at the time of this review. I do have to say that their delivery drivers or a lot of them are from doordash so it's not necessarily the stores fault I guess it's just the procedure and the way that they handle the delivery. if you want to pick it up yourself that would probably be better. As far as I'm concerned I'm not going to bother ordering from them or if I do I will ask them if I'm going to have a real Pizza Hut employee that is going to deliver the pizza to me. Definitely not recommending this place. To be fair I have to say that the pizza did finally show up half an hour after it was supposed to and I paid the Dasher but could not understand him. So I guess I would say order at...
