Tribal People 0.00002 Seconds After Trying Pizza Hut
About this video
In this Tribal People Try episode it's Pizza Hut pizza. The tribe look it over, ask the questions anyone would, and then taste it and give the honest answer.
What is pizza?
Pizza is a flat bread from Naples topped with tomato and cheese and baked very hot. The delivery-chain version — Pizza Hut, Domino's, Papa John's — is thicker, cheesier and heavier on toppings than the Italian original.
Pizza Hut started in Wichita, Kansas in 1958 with money two brothers borrowed from their mother, and grew into the biggest pizza chain in the world. It was the first international pizza chain in Pakistan, opening in Karachi in 1993.
What to watch for
Hot stretched cheese is the moment. Most first-timers pull at it, ask what it is, and then decide within a bite whether they like the chew. The tomato base reads as sweet to a Punjabi palate, and a plain margherita can seem underseasoned.
The comparison they always make
Bread topped with something is old news here — roti with achar, naan with keema — so the base makes sense; it is the cheese that has no village equivalent. Chicken tikka pizza tends to win because it tastes like something they already cook.
