Happy 50th Birthday Pizza Hut
DALLAS, TEXAS, May 30 2008 — On May 31, 1958, the doors of a little pizzeria in Wichita, Kansas, opened to serve a thin-crust pizza to a small community. Fifty years later, that pizzeria has grown into a chain of more than 10,000 restaurants around the world serving pizza innovations and more. This week, Pizza Hut and its franchisees are celebrating 50 years and commemorating the May 31 opening with their annual conference and a special gala in Washington, D.C.
As the world’s largest pizza restaurant company with 6,200 restaurants in the United States and more than 4,000 restaurants in 100 other countries, Pizza Hut, Inc., is a subsidiary of Yum! Brands, Inc. (NYSE: YUM). The company has become the recognized leader in the $37 billion pizza category.

The nicest thing I can say about Pizza Hut is it’s better than Domino’s.
Peronsally, I’m a Round Table guy but I don’t think they’ve crept much further than the West Coast.
I can’t think of any national chain I really like. But pizza tends to vary so much by region. It think it’s difficult for a chain to get make everyone happy from coast to coast.
