After a tiring and busy day sightseeing, our large group of 13 were frantically looking for a local fare type place to try. After seeing small places with no parking and long lines, we reluctantly went into this Pizza Hut because we were starving. I’m so glad that we did. This was one of the most positive meal experiences we have had on our trip. This particular location is what I like to call an «old school Pizza Hut». The building, both outside and in, is very nostalgic of the chain in its golden age of the 1980’s. Our waitress was Tamra, a Manteo resident of 50 years. She quickly had us seated, had our drinks to us quickly, and although the buffet ended a few minutes before we walked in, pulled some strings and got the manager to keep it open just for us. The pizza from the buffet and everything along with it was fresh and delicious. We left full and satisfied, and with a new realization that chain restaurants can still have a local fare touch if they choose to.
