More Than Great Food

There’s nothing cookie-cutter about Pizza Hut® and our franchise partners. Not the pizza and definitely not the people. A career with one of Pizza Hut’s locally owned franchisees is for those who stand out; we’re constantly pushing boundaries and helping each other become the best we can be.

Where We Come From

In 1958, two brothers borrowed $600 from their mom to open a pizza place in Wichita, Kansas. They named it Pizza Hut because their sign only had room for eight letters. The restaurant’s popularity grew quickly due to the delicious food and quality service.

Today, there are more than 16,000 independently owned and operated Pizza Hut restaurants. Our 100+ franchise partners employ 350,000 team members in over 100 countries.

Feeding the Possibilities

Pizza Hut® and our franchise partners’ values challenge and inspire us to elevate the Pizza Hut® brand and culture while championing the customer experience. In everything we do, in everything we are, we will always feed more possibilities and help you become your best, make friends, and have fun.

Delivering the Future

The Pizza Hut® brand has a long history of firsts – the first national chain to offer online delivery ordering, the first pizza delivery to outer space, a world-record setting delivery to the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro – and we’re not slowing down any time soon. Pizza Hut® is always looking for ways to innovate processes and deliver an even more exceptional service and product.
