“Ask and you shall receive.” These are definitely words to live by . . . you just may be surprised at what you receive. When I picked up my first Supreme Personal Pan Pizza sample, I was intrigued by the pans used to bake them, since the crisp yet chewy crust is such a signature feature of this particular pizza. I knew the pans were probably custom-made for Pizza Hut, but I was determined to gather as much information as I could so that I could provide a viable alternative in this recipe.
Apparently, I asked a few too many questions (or in my opinion, the right number of them), because the friendly man behind the counter eventually grew tired of my inquiries. I asked, “Is the pan metal or . . . ,” and before I was even able to finish my sentence, he looked at me like I was nuts, and kindly offered, “Do you want one?” Without hesitation, I said, “Sure.” He scurried to the back, then returned and handed me my very own Pizza Hut Personal Pan Pizza Pan. Based on the fact that the restaurant logo is imprinted on the bottom of the pan, I was correct that the pans are custom-made. But don’t get me wrong: I’m not suggesting that you, too, hound a clerk until he makes you go away by giving you your very own pan. There are plenty of alternatives.
