Remember when Pizza Hut buffets were a thing? Well, if you’ve been missing those all-you-can-eat pizza days, you’re in for a treat. The Wellington and Exeter location has quietly brought back their legendary buffet service, and Londoners are absolutely here for it.
The nostalgic dining experience is running daily from 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM, priced at $13.99 – which honestly isn’t bad when you consider that’s about what you’d pay for a burger meal anywhere these days. Local Reddit users have been buzzing about the return, with many sharing their excitement about revisiting this childhood favourite.
The current setup includes four different pizza varieties kept fresh with regular rotation every 5-7 minutes. You’ll find two veggie options, two meat pizzas, and one classic cheese. The buffet also features pasta (those chunky spiral noodles with sauce and melted cheese), garlic bread, and two salad options including a Caesar-style mix and a build-your-own romaine lettuce bar with various toppings and dressings.
But here’s the thing that’s got some people feeling a bit nostalgic – the dessert situation isn’t quite there yet. No dessert pizzas, no ice cream bar, and definitely no cinnamon rolls. According to staff, they’re working on bringing back some of those sweet treats, though their supplier apparently doesn’t make the apple topping for the dessert pizzas anymore.
One local who works at the location mentioned that the buffet had a “soft opening” period that went really well, which is probably why they’ve decided to keep it going. The question everyone’s asking is how long this will last – apparently it depends on turnout, so if you’re planning to check it out, sooner might be better than later.
The Wellington location is one of the few Pizza Hut restaurants in London that still has full seating and table service, making it a proper sit-down experience rather than just grab-and-go. It’s been about four years since the buffet was consistently available, with only a few special one-off events happening between 2020 and now.
For those keeping track, this particular location is reportedly closing next year, which makes this buffet return feel like a bit of a farewell tour. Staff weren’t entirely sure how long the buffet service would continue, but they seemed optimistic about the response so far.
The plastic cups have even gotten a makeover – they’re turquoise instead of the classic red, which some people are calling a questionable design choice that needs fixing. But honestly, when you’re diving into unlimited pizza and pasta, cup colour probably isn’t your biggest concern.
