Pizza Hut Original Pan Pizza

 Just look at the the width and depth of that pizza slice! I have to say this is my favorite way to make pizza now! What the kids loved most about this pizza was the soft (spongy) crust. It was like biting into a muffin or sponge cake, yet the pizza slice was heavy. This was the first time ever my kids have eaten their pizza crust. They actually said, "Mommy you make the best pizza!" and I'm not even Italian!
