Why Pizza Hut?

When it comes to owning a franchise business, you have as many options as toppings on a pizza. But Pizza Hut is a slice above the rest. Here’s why:

Our name is top of mind

In fact, almost every week 170M adults see a Pizza Hut commercial. That’s more than half the U.S. population.

Always in your corner

From training resources to supplies to marketing materials, Pizza Hut provides the support you need to succeed.

1958

A 65-year-long pizza party

In 1958, the Carney brothers borrowed $600 from their mom to open a pizza restaurant in Wichita, Kansas. The sign out front only had room for eight letters and, just like that, Pizza Hut was born. More than six decades later, we’re just as passionate about sharing the joy of pizza—and just as invested in the success of our franchise owners and their team members.

Being a part of the Pizza Hut family means partnering with franchisees who are passionate about their teams, committed to crafting amazing food, actively engaged in their communities, and driven to succeed today while building for tomorrow. This combination paves the way for extraordinary success.”
