Pizza Hut plans to close 250 U.S. restaurants in the first half of this year as its parent company considers a sale of the chain.

    The niche with Pizza Hut was the dining experience. The red cups, the hut roofs, the whole thing… They gutted all that and kept the subpar pizza. You can get carry out/delivery pizza of same quality from everywhere else. They took away the thing that made them different in the marketplace.

    It’s a little over one percent of their total stores. Last year they closed 1451 stores, so this isn’t some sort of new record. The important bit is the potential of Yum selling off the brand, which I think is honestly a good move. Pizza Hut is falling WAAAY behind Dominos and needs an injection of fresh energy. A new owner might bring that.

      Little Caesars makes better Pizza than the Hut. Just let it die.

      Honestly couldn’t tell you the last time I had Pizza Hut. Probably over 20 years ago? Just awful greasy pizza.

        Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but as someone who has had both within the last 3 months, I’d say Pizza Hut edges out Little Caesars by a fairly large margin.

        Not to mention you can get a stuffed crust pizza from Little Ceasars for 1/2 the price as Pizza Hut

    The Pizza Hut in my town closed 15 years ago. It’s now a Chinese restaurant, and the owners never changed how it looks on the outside.

    Honestly I’d get some Pizza Hut out of nostalgia if they didn’t put all of their delivery through DoorDash. That middleman makes it cost more than actually good pizza.

    Honestly good. Bought some recently on a whim. I’ve had better frozen pizzas. I was in a genuine state of despair when I took the first bite and realized I made a terrible mistake ordering it

    Back right after covid we did a pizza friday for a whole summer. They had deals for things every week and especially crust seasonings. That lasted about a year. The next summer the deals were massively cut back and the following summer the seasonings were gone. Pretty much stopped since then.

    Put more than five olives on my pizza and maybe I’d go more often. All the major chains have this problem, though.

      I just make pizza at home at this point. All the pizza chains serve overpriced garbage and the local shops are so expensive.
