Pizza Hut won itself a slice of new fans last night, namely Celtic ones, after dishing out some epic Old Firm patter with a Hoops fan.
It all started when green-and-white Twitter user @BLR_7 asked the Twitterverse for some advice on where to grab a good old scran for the night while in Glasgow.
Pizza Hut stepped in with the reply: “Pal, silly Q.”
The rest, as they say, is history.

Hun, you're the one throwing shade

From here on out is where the epicness kicked in, as @BLR_7 replied: “Don’t you dare call me a Hun, that’s a f*****g insult ye probably don’t understand ya mad pizza.”
Pizza Hut’s reply was just too much for the internet to bear as the company moved to work its way back into the Twitter user’s good books again:

Naturally, other Hoops fans waded in as @BLR_7 pondered: “A Wednesday night n am in conversation wae a f****n pizza restaurant twitter account, wit man.”

Gers fans, on the other hand, were left with a bitter taste in their mouths, all in the name of good banter though:

Just days after a night to remember at Ibrox as Rangers marked their return to European competition after a six-year exile, Pizza Hut’s friendly dig came as the team endured a night to forget in Luxembourg on Tuesday when a 2-0 loss to Progres Niederkorn sent them crashing out of the Europa League at the first qualifying round.
