Pizza Hut (original) (raw)

Pizza Hut is a division of Yum! Brands, Inc. It was founded in 1958 by two college students in Wichita, Kansas. It was accquired by Tricon Global Restaurants (now Yum! Brands, Inc.), then a part of Pepsi Cola, in January 1995. Pizza Hut is currently headquartered in Dallas.

Pizza Hut restaurants specialise in selling pizza and pasta, and the dine-in restaurants generally have an all-you-can-eat salad and dessert bar as well. In Australia, Pizza Hut's main market is the home-delivery of pizzas, and their main competitor is a chain called Pizza Haven. They often letterbox special offers (discount vouchers etc) and offer give-aways to tie in with the latest blockbuster movies, such as drink cups with Spider-Man or Star Wars characters on them. Some of these giveaways are limited editions and quite rare, and considered collectors items.
