What is Pizza Hut?
Pizza Hut is an American casual dining restaurant chain that is owned and operated by Yum! Brands since 1997 It’s one of the world's largest pizza restaurant chains with over 18,400 locations in more than 100 countries across the world. The company is known for its Italian-American cuisine, including a variety of pizzas, pasta dishes, and side dishes. It also offers a wide selection of beer and wine.
Pizza Hut was founded in 1958 in Wichita, Kansas, by brothers Dan and Frank Carney. In their early years, the brothers specialized in take-out orders, but their popularity quickly grew and they began to serve sit-down customers. In 1959, they opened their first franchise location and continued to expand across the country and, eventually, around the world.
Today, all Pizza Hut locations offer the same classic Italian-American cuisine: a range of pizzas that come in various sizes and toppings, plus side dishes such as garlic bread and salad. Most locations also offer delivery and carry-out services. The chain has also diversified its menu over the years to include calzones, pasta dishes, and beer and wine.
