Pizza Hut is facing calls for a boycott after it promoted a children's book that featured a little boy who dresses in drag.The pizza chain has been running a children's reading scheme called Book It since 1984 where kids are awarded certificates from their school for completing books, which can be cashed in for a free pizza.Dozens of books are added to the list on a regular basis, but its latest addition has sparked fury.Big Wig, by Jonathan Hillman, tells the story of a little boy who likes to dress up, and whose wig gives magical powers to those who wear it.

I’ve already boycotted PH for bad pizzas. With this woke garbage, I’ll continue boycotting for that, too.

Just hearing the name Pizza Hut gives me heartburn.Greasy, salty pepperoni. If you have seen their ads you know that they don’t cater to healthy people.

Growing up, we referred to this chain as the Cardboard Pizza.

"They" never learn. Take a page out of the activities of Rapinoe and Subway. Subway is crying the blues of how their queer ways hurt their business, Pizza Hut will likely suffer the same fate.

Who are the ad wizards that came up with that?
- Adam Sandler, SNL (when it was still kind of funny)

I haven't stepped into a Pizza Hut in over six years. The last large pepperoni I purchased was burnt dry eating one slice and threw it away. I should have eaten the box instead this should keep me from ever desiring one when traveling.
We know Pizza Hut stands with mentally ill perverts, they could use a Big Wig to recover from this blunder.

Just another reason not to patronize this establishment.

We only have one Pizza Hut where I live and it's pretty crappy. There's a couple of local pizza places that are WAY better and they get my business.

I would boycott them if I had not already done so. Overpriced pizza made from cardboard pushed by people of color making loud noises almost as bad as those horrible Kit Kat ads. Name any other brand, even if it's the frozen stuff from Wally World and it's better than Pizza Hut.

How good or bad Pizza Hut pizzas are isn't the issue. Their "wokeness" is. They need to be bankrupted for that reason alone.

If you don’t like the political stance that Pizza Hut is taking regarding propagandizing children by promoting the LGBTQI+ agenda, just don’t order and eat Pizza Hut pizza from now on. When much of their clientele stop showing up to order or eat Pizza Hut Pizza they will get the message to get out of politics and into making better pizza.

OK, another company to never bother with again. But, their terrible service has already pretty much driven me away already.

It wouldn’t take much to finish off Pizza Hut. Their pizza hasn’t been worth a damn for forty years.

Crappy pizza anyway, we tried it not too long ago, frankly it sucked, very salty. Too many good pizza places around why order crap?
