When it&#8217;s good, it&#8217;s really good.  When it&#8217;s bad, it&#8217;s still pretty good.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Oh, really?<\/p>\n<p>Then why do I feel so dirty after having a one night stand with the two-bit pizza from Pizza Hut called The Natural?  <\/p>\n<p>Why do I want to huddle in my shower fully clothed, cry like I just accidently killed a man, and let the steady stream of water try to wash away the shame that has stained my soul?  If pizza is a lot like sex, then The Natural is like losing your virginity with another virgin because both of you had high hopes for it, but during it you both constantly asked each other if it feels good, and after you&#8217;re done, you&#8217;re both not really satisfied.<\/p>\n<p>The Natural pizza looked delicious in the box and sounded appetizing with its, &#8220;stone-ground multigrain crust made with the goodness of five different whole grains, a rich flavorful sauce made from fresh, vine-ripened tomatoes and topped with fine, all-natural, mozzarella cheese.&#8221; But after I finished a slice I realized that this was the Diet Coke of Pizza Hut pizzas &#8212; it wasn&#8217;t close to being as tasty as the original.<\/p>\n<p><center><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/images\/pizzahutnatural2.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p>The pepperoni and cheese were the only decent parts of the pizza.  What brought down The Natural several notches was its stone-ground multigrain crust, which wasn&#8217;t very flavorful.  But I guess the crust, with its eight grams of whole grains in each slice, was supposed to be healthy and not tasty.  Although, even with all that healthiness, it doesn&#8217;t provide more fiber than Pizza Hut&#8217;s regular crust.  Speaking of things that help you poop, there wasn&#8217;t a lot of grease on the pizza, which is great for napkin conservation.  Something else there wasn&#8217;t a lot of was sauce, which was disappointing because I like the sauce to ooze all over and the cheese to stretch out like I was on the wrong end of a bukkake. <\/p>\n<p>Overall, the crust, lack of sauce, and measly 12-inch size equated to a very bland, mediocre pizza. So thanks to Pizza Hut&#8217;s The Natural, I feel like I should edit the saying to say, &#8220;Pizza is a lot like sex. When it&#8217;s good, it&#8217;s really good. When it&#8217;s bad, you can always get something better after.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutrition Facts &#8211; 1 slice &#8211; 230 calories, 9 grams of fat, 4 grams of saturated fat, 25 milligrams of cholesterol, 530 milligrams of sodium, 26 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of sugar, 2 grams of dietary fiber, 10 grams of protein, 8% Vitamin A, 15% Calcium, and 6% Iron.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b>  Pizza Hut&#8217;s The Natural<br \/>\n<b>Price:<\/b>  $12.99 ($9.99 in most states)<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b>  12 inches<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b>  Pizza Hut<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b>  4 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b>  Eight grams of whole grains in each slice.
