Pizza Hut is actually nice over there. My group went when we went to England (a nice change from Royal Navy food) and it was an actual nice sit-down menu restaurant! We were shocked. It was the only food over there that tasted the same as America (I happen to like Pizza Hut, so it was all good).

Yeah, it's a sit down thing. It's in the upper echelons of "brand name fast food that people have heard of." Tastes nicer than McDonalds, but costs more, obviously. Tastes worse than proper Italian restaurants obviously, but is cheaper.
In the catagory of Dominoes, Pizza Hut, and, er, the others, it wins. It's also sells bear, which is nice.

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

I thought Canadians were the only ones who ate bear. And musk-ox.

No, I made a typo on purpose to give Jeff a chance to come up with a good insult against me. He needs help, the poor lad.

You can sell whatever you'd like Liam, just so long as you don't sell Milwaukee's Best (I mean, Beast).
Now, frankly, I wouldn't want someone delivering a big mammal carcass to my house, but you English have a strange way of doing things, so ...
History: Pizza Hut was a "nice sit down menu" resteraunt for a great many years until they tried to break into the delivery business. They suck at delivery.

Douglas Adams had a thing or two to say about England's lack of pizza delivery in one of the Dirk Gently books. I think it was in The Long, Dark Tea-time of the Soul, but I could be wrong. I'm sure Simon knows...

You do have to wait half an hour for delivery at the best of times. At peak times, such as weekends or after the pubs shut, it can be an hour easily.

We were running about 30 - 45 minutes tonight.
So I take an order from this woman about 7ish, and she calls back like 5 minutes later wanting to know where her pizza is. Hello, I told you 30 to 45 minutes ya' deaf bitch! Be patient. People.

Next time ask her if she's got a fax machine...

As for the 2 minutes away thing ... if you call at Friday night (and if they're anything like us), then there are probably 40 or 50 deliveries up before yours. Delivery time (first order, first deliver) usually depends on:
a) How many drivers are scheduled
b) How big the delivery area is and how far those runs are spaced out over them
c) How badly traffic sucks
Therefore, even though you may only be a mile away, drivers will be busy taking deliveries to addresses far past your house because they ordered before you.
Not to mention that with business on a Friday night, it can often take 10 to 20 minutes for someone to start *making* your pizza after you ordered it (even if it *is* a double conveyour belt oven).
Either that or they're just slackers. *shrug*
Request your pie to be well-done. They should push it back in a bit longer and make it nice and crispy for ya'.
