Pizza Hut is an American restaurant chain and international franchise based in

Addison, Texas[1] (a northern suburb of Dallas), offering different styles of pizza
along with side dishes including pasta, buffalo wings, breadsticks, and garlic bread.
Pizza Hut is a subsidiary of Yum! Brands, Inc., the world's largest restaurant
company,[2] with approximately 34,000 restaurants, delivery-carry out units, and
kiosks in 100 countries

Concept and format

Pizza Hut is split into several restaurant formats; the original family-style "Red Roof" dine-in
locations, delivery locations that offer a carry-out, delivery, and dine-in options, and the store
front delivery and carry-out locations. Additionally, Pizza Hut also has a number of other
business concepts that are different from the store type; Pizza Hut "Bistro" locations are Red
Roofs which offer an expanded menu and slightly more upscale options. Finally, the Wingstreet
concept co-locates Yum's WingStreet chicken wing choices brand with the Pizza Hut brand.
Finally, "Pizza Hut Express" locations are fast food restaurants licensed by Pizza Hut and
operated independently. They offer a completely different menu with many products not found at
traditional Pizza Huts, and are often found on college campuses, food courts, theme parks, and in
stores such as Target. Pizza hut offers home delivery to all its customers. It is now available in
more than a hundred countries around the world.
[edit] History
The chain was founded in 1958 by Dan and Frank Carney.[3] The Original Pizza Hut building was
later relocated to the Wichita State University campus.[4] Additional restaurants were opened,
with the first franchise unit opening in 1959 in Topeka, Kansas. At the same time Pizza Hut was
growing in and around Kansas, Shakey's Pizza was developing a stronghold along the West
Coast. The competition provided Pizza Hut the impetus to evaluate its mission and direction.
Dan and Frank Carney saw Shakey's expanding into their territory and realized that they needed
to determine if Pizza Hut should be in the entertainment business or if it should be a
neighborhood pizza restaurant. They decided to stick with the neighborhood business and
realized that they needed to have a good standard image. The Carney brothers began to
systematize operations and building designs to counter the competition from Shakey's. The
franchise network continued to grow through friends and business associates, and by 1964 a
unique standardized building appearance and layout was established for franchised and
company-owned stores, creating a universal look that customers easily recognized.
By 1972, with 314 stores nationwide, Pizza Hut went public on the New York Stock Exchange
under the stock ticker symbol PIZ. In 1977, Pizza Hut was acquired by Pepsico, who later also
bought KFC and Taco Bell. In 1997, the three restaurant chains were spun off into Tricon, and in
2002 joined with Long John Silver's and A&W Restaurants to become Yum! Brands. The oldest
continuously operating Pizza Hut in the world is in Manhattan, Kansas, in a shopping and tavern
district known as Aggieville near Kansas State University.
[edit] Products

Pizza Hut's prototype version of a restaurant (1950–1961). This was only used at four prototype
Pizza Hut Locations. There are only a few menu items on this version.

The plaque on the first Pizza Hut building which was sometimes seen on the backs. It was shown
from 1970-1985.
Pizza Hut sells pizzas in four different sizes: personal (an individual serving), small, medium and
large, though most stores have done away with the small size. A variety of toppings are available,
plus "specialty" styles, including Meat Lovers, Pepperoni Lovers, Cheese Lovers, Veggie Lovers,
Double Cheeseburger, Supreme, Super Supreme and the newly introduced Pizza Mia. The pan
pizza has a thicker crust than most other commercially available pizzas.
Pizza Hut also sells Stuffed Crust pizza, with the outermost edge wrapped around a coil of
mozzarella cheese; Hand-Tossed, more like traditional pizzeria crusts; Thin 'N Crispy, a thin,
crispy dough which was Pizza Hut's original style; Dippin' Strips pizza, a pizza cut into small
strips that can be dipped into a number of sauces; and The Edge pizza, where the toppings nearly
reach to the edge of the pizza. There was also formerly a crust that was not as thick as Pizza
Hut's pan pizza, and not as thin as its thin crust. This crust was used on the Full House XL pizza
and discontinued in 2007.[5]
Pizza Hut experiments with new products frequently, with less successful ones being
discontinued. These include the initially popular two-foot by one-foot square cut pizza Bigfoot,
the 16" Big New Yorker, made with a sweet sauce, the Chicago Dish Pizza and Sicilian pizza, the
latter also offered in 2006 as Lasagna Pizza. Other products Pizza Hut has offered are the
"P'zone", Pizza Hut's version of the calzone; the Cheesy Bites pizza, similar to the Stuffed Crust
pizza except the crust has been divided into bite-sized pieces that can be pulled apart; and the
Insider pizza, where a layer of cheese is in between two layers of dough. Another limited time
offer was a Double Deep pizza with double the toppings and 50% more cheese, with the crust
wrapped over the top to hold in all the toppings.

Buffalo wings
In addition to pizza, also sold is garlic cheese bread (not in all locations), plus a number of side
dishes including bread sticks, cheese sticks, cinnamon sticks, mozzarella sticks, onion rings,
chicken wings (some stores have integrated with another chain known as WingStreet which
offers a wide variety, such as Buffalo Burning Hot, Buffalo Medium, Buffalo Mild, Honey BBQ,
Spicy BBQ, Garlic Parmesan, Cajun, Spicy Asian)[6] boneless wings, chicken munchers, jalapeño
poppers, Quepapas (potato bites filled with cheese and jalapeño flavor),[7] a basket of taters or
tater tots and fried apple pies.[8]
Depending on the individual restaurant size, Pizza Huts also may offer pasta dinners such as
spaghetti and Cavatini - a mixture of Cavatelli (shells), Rotini (spirals), and Rotelle (wheels).
A new, upscale concept was unveiled in 2005, called "Pizza Hut Italian Bistro". Unveiled at fifty
locations nationwide, the Bistro is similar to a traditional Pizza Hut, except that new, Italian
themed dishes are offered, such as penne pasta, chicken pomodoro, toasted sandwiches and other
foods.[9] Instead of black, white, and red, Bistro locations feature a burgundy and tan motif.[10]
Pizza Hut Bistros still serve the chain's traditional pizzas and sides as well.
A new version of Pizza Hut pizza, named Pizza Mia, was introduced in 2007. The product is
aimed at the cost sensitive consumer segment and is priced similarly to the Domino's 555 deal,
where each pizza is priced at five dollars if purchased in bulk of three or more. In comparison, a
Pizza Hut medium sized, hand-tossed pepperoni pizza is internationally priced at $10.24 (Dallas,
Texas 1/1/2009). The Pizza Mia comes in only one size (medium) and extra toppings range from
$1.25 to $1.49. One slice of Pizza Hut pepperoni Pizza Mia weighs 83 grams, while one slice of
Pizza Hut pepperoni hand-tossed pizza weighs 96 grams.[11]
Pizza Hut on May 9, 2008, created and sold in Seattle, Denver, and Dallas, “The Natural”, a new
all-natural multi grain crust sweetened with honey, a red sauce of organic tomatoes and topped
all-natural cheese (or with all-natural chicken sausage and roasted red peppers). A medium
Natural pizza with one topping sold for $9.99.[12] It has since launched a nationwide advertising
campaign. Also in 2008, Pizza Hut created their biggest pizza ever, the Panormous Pizza. It has
16 pieces.
Pizza Hut introduced the Big Eat Tiny Price Menu on June 21, 2009. It features new Pizza Rolls,
the P'Zone Pizza, new Personal Panormous Pizza, and the Pizza Mia Pizza, each item starting at
$5.00 or $5.99.
[edit] Controversies and criticism
[edit] Company policy
Pizza delivery, grouped with taxi-driving by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, is ranked as the fifth
most dangerous occupation category in the United States.[13] Among the several hazards common
to both food delivery professionals and taxi drivers, the most frequent danger is armed robbery
and the possibility of serious injury or death implicit in such encounters. For these reasons, Pizza
Hut has drawn criticism[by whom?] for its policy of disallowing employees from carrying defensive
weapons while making deliveries.[citation needed]
[edit] Health concerns
In the UK, Pizza Hut has been criticized for the high salt content of its meals, some of which
were found to contain more than twice the daily recommended amount of salt for an adult. The
meats that consumers demand for pizza toppings (pepperoni, sausage, bacon, etc.) are, likewise,
salty and fatty meats.[14]
[edit] Advertising

Old in-restaurant ad for Pizza Hut's Pan Pizza.

Pizza Hut ad featuring The Muppets (2003-2005).
Pizza Hut's very first ad was "Putt Putt to Pizza Hut". It starts with a man apparently ordering
take-out and driving his 1965 Mustang JR to Pizza Hut, while some of the townspeople start
chasing him. He picks up his pizza and goes to his house, when all of the people who were
chasing him start eating all the pizza except the man who ordered it. Frustrated, he calls Pizza
Hut again.
Until early 2007, Pizza Hut's main advertising slogan was "Gather 'round the good stuff", and is
currently "Now You're Eating!". Pizza Hut does not have an official international mascot, but at
one time, there were commercials in the United States called 'The Pizza Head Show.' These
commercials ran from 1993-1997 and were based loosely on the Mr. Bill shorts from Saturday
Night Live in the 1970s. The ads featured a slice of pizza with a face made out of toppings called
'Pizza Head'. In the 1970s Pizza Hut used the signature red roof with a jolly man named "Pizza
Hut Pete". Pete was on the bags, cups, balloons and hand puppets for the kids. In Australia
during the Mid to late 1990s, the advertising mascot was a delivery boy named Dougie, with
boyish good looks who, upon delivering pizza to his father, would hear the catchphrase "Here's a
tip: be good to your mother".
Pizza Hut sponsored the 1989 film Back to the Future Part II, and offered a free pair of futuristic
sunglasses, known as "Solar Shades", with the purchase of Pizza Hut pizza. Pizza Hut also
engaged in product placement within the film itself, having a futuristic version of their logo with
their trademarked red hat printed on the side of a mylar dehydrated pizza wrapper in the McFly
family dinner scene, and appear on a storefront in Hill Valley in the year 2015.[15]
The 1990 NES game Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Arcade Game, came with a coupon
for a free pizza. The game was filled with Pizza Hut advertising and pizza that would refill the
character's life.
In 1994, Donald Trump and ex-wife Ivana Trump starred in a commercial. The ending of the
commercial showed Ivana Trump asking for the last slice, to which Donald replied, "Actually
dear, you're only entitled to half", a play on the couple's recent divorce.
In 1995, Ringo Starr starred in a Pizza Hut commercial which also featured The Monkees. Rush
Limbaugh also starred in a Pizza Hut commercial the same year, where he boasts that "nobody is
more right than me," yet he states that for the first time he will do something wrong, which was
to participate in Pizza Hut's then "eating pizza crust first" campaign regarding their stuffed crust
pizzas.
Talk show host Jonathan Ross, co-starred in an ad with American model, Caprice Bourret. They
were used to advertise the stuffed crust pizza, with Jonathan Ross saying "Stuffed Cwust", to
which is a play on Jonathan's pronunciation of 'R's.
Another UK ad shows British Formula One driver Damon Hill visit a Pizza Hut restaurant and
order a pizza, with famous F1 commentator Murray Walker visiting with him, and narrating as
though it was a Formula One race. As Hill is about to finish his meal, Walker, in a play on Hill's
1994 & 1995 seasons where he was runner up in the Formula One World Championship, shouts
"And Hill finishes second, again!" at which Hill grabs Walker by his shirt and shakes him
angrily, Walker proclaiming, in his usual tones, "He's lost it! He's out of control!"
In 1997, former Soviet Union Premier Mikhail Gorbachev starred in a Pizza Hut commercial to
raise money for the Perestroyka Archives. In recent years, Pizza Hut has had various celebrity
spokespeople, including Jessica Simpson, the Muppets, and Damon Hill and Murray Walker.
Recent commercials have Queen Latifah providing the voiceover. Also in 1997, Pizza Hut,
reunited "greatest of all time boxer" Muhammad Ali with trainer Angelo Dundee in a sentimental
made for Super Bowl commercial.
Pizza Hut sponsored the first space pizza delivery in 2001, and paid for their logo to appear on a
Russian Proton rocket in 2000.[16]
In Australia, 2006 saw the introduction of a mascot in Pizza Hut's advertising - "Pizza Mutt", a
small dog who delivers pizzas. The mascot was dumped after just two ads.
Early 2007 saw Pizza Hut move into several more interactive ways of marketing to the
consumer. Utilizing mobile phone SMS technology and their MyHut ordering site, they aired
several television commercials (commencing just before the Super Bowl) containing hidden
words that viewers could type into their phones to receive coupons. Other innovative efforts
included their "MySpace Ted" campaign, which took advantage of the popularity of social
networking, and the burgeoning user-submission marketing movement via their Vice President of
Pizza contest.
Pizza Hut is also advertised in anime such as Code Geass and Darker Than Black, though in the
translated versions of Code Geass the logo was removed leaving only the red roof logo.
[edit] Pasta Hut

Pasta Hut logo (2008-present)

On April 1, 2008, Pizza Hut in America sent emails to customers advertising that they now offer
pasta items on their menu. The email (and similar advertising on the company's website) stated
"Pasta so good we've changed our name to 'Pasta Hut'." The name change was a publicity stunt
held in conjunction with April Fools' Day, extending through the month of April, with the
company's Dallas headquarters changing its exterior logo to Pasta Hut.[17] This name change was
also used to promote the new Tuscani Pasta line and new Pizza Hut dine-in menu. The First Pasta
Hut Ad has the Original Pizza Hut restaurant being imploded and recreated, but when they
construct the new building, the sign saying "Pasta Hut" is placed on the building.
[edit] Australia
On January 19, 2009, Pizza Hut started a six-week online vote in Australia as to whether Pizza
Hut should become Pasta Hut. They are also co-branding two stores with the Pasta Hut logo.
Advertising for the new brand involved the production team creating a set of a restaurant called
"Toscani's". As the TVC suggests, the diners in the fictional restaurant, complete with signage
and secret recording equipment; the customers were unaware they were eating pasta from Pizza
Hut.[18]
[edit] United Kingdom
In the United Kingdom on January 19, 2009, Pizza Hut had announced that the Pasta Hut trial
had ended and that the names of all stores previously converted to Pasta Hut would be converted
back to Pizza Hut. This was due to Pizza Hut's online poll, where the results showed that 81%
had chosen to keep the name Pizza Hut, 19% chose to change the name to Pasta Hut.
Consequently the name will change back, but the menus will continue to include pasta.[19]
[edit] Sponsorship
• In the early 1990s, as part of PepsiCo's sponsorship of The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer
(and its former moniker, "The MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour"), Pizza Hut was included in
the acknowledgment alongside Taco Bell and KFC, which PepsiCo owned at the time.
• In 2000, Pizza Hut was a part-time sponsor of Galaxy Motorsports' #75 Ford in the then
NASCAR Winston Cup Series, driven by Wally Dallenbach Jr.

[edit] Book It!

Pizza Hut has been a longtime sponsor of the "Book It!" program (started in 1984[20]), which
encourages reading in American schools. Those who read books according to the goal set by the
classroom teacher are rewarded with Pizza Hut coupons good for a free Personal Pan Pizza or
discounted menu items. In the late 1980s, Pizza Hut threw free pizza parties for classes if all
students met their reading goals. The program has been criticized by some psychologists on the
grounds that it may lead to overjustification and reduce children's intrinsic interest in reading.[21]
The program's 25th anniversary is in 2009.
[edit] Countries with Pizza Hut restaurants
International variations

Former Pizza Hut logo (1968-1999). It is still used at some Pizza Hut restaurant locations. An
updated version of the logo has the words, "Pizza" and "Hut" italicized.
Pizza Hut restaurants are located throughout the world. Like many international chain
restaurants, Pizza Hut locations outside of the United States and Canada offer different menu
choices based on food traditions of the local culture.

Mor, Chittagong. Another 2/3 outlets are set to start operations soon. All foods served in the
outlets in Bangladesh are halal. Pizza Hut Bangladesh has an annual all you can eat offer during

Brands co-branded, store-in-store concept where a Pizza Hut Express location is integrated into a
full-service KFC location. These stores offer a limited selection of the full-service restaurant

Kolkata(Camac street).
In addition to traditional toppings, Indian foods are incorporated such as chicken tikka, keema,
