BTW There WAS a pizza parlor where young girls were being raped but not in D.C.; rather, it was in St. Louis Missouri, at a place called Dojo Pizza. That story really bothered me because when I worked in property management I used to go to an apartment building frequently that was right across the street from Dojo Pizza and the thought that helpless girls were being raped only twenty or thirty yards from me really hit me hard. I would also add that St. Louis is one of the capitals of sex trafficking thanks in no small part to the Albanian Mafia, which has a strong hold on the neighborhood served by the pizza parlor. The Albanian Mafia is big in sex trafficking, something the old Italian Mafia thought was immoral, by and large. (They had no problem with prostitution but snatching innocents was against their code.)

So the idea that people from Washington, notably John Podesta (who used to be a playmate of Bill Clinton's) ran a child sex-trafficking ring out of a pizza parlor is not that far-fetched. Again, I don't believe it but you never know. I will not dismiss it out of hand.

But don't blame Pizza Hut even if I linked their closure to the Epstein files; they had nothing to do with it - or probably not. 

1 When my wife and I moved from the New York City area (which has the world's finest pizza, no matter what the idiots from Chicago will say,) to Minnesota in 1994, it wasn't long before we ordered a pizza from Pizza Hut. As I remember, we didn't finish it, and never ordered another from that establishment.

Nor did we order more than one from Domino's. We finally found a local purveyor who made a good, though not exactly fine, product, and would deliver; and we used them until we moved to our current location, where we're stuck using a local restaurant for our increasingly infrequent pizza meals.

2 Yep - New York pizza is way better than Chicago. Chicago deep dish is comically overdone, and their thin crust was stolen from St. Louis where we've done the thinnest pizzas all along. (Transplants here often call it "pizza on a cracker" but I find it delicious; you can really taste the toppings and we use something called provel cheese, which is a true delicacy.)
I wouldn't stack any chain pizza up against a good restaurant pizza - the best pizzas come from little hole in the wall establishments, no question.
