Pizza Hut Food Company
The legacy of Pizza Hut Food Company began in 1958, when two college students from Wichita, Kansas, were approached by a family friend with the idea of opening a pizza parlor. Although the concept was relatively new to many Americans at that time, the brothers quickly saw the potential of this new enterprise.
Once they decided to create a consistent look for all their restaurants in 1963, Dan and Frank Carney watched as Pizza Hut, their Wichita-based company, grew from 43 stores to 300 by 1967.
During the past four decades, Pizza Hut Food Company has built a reputation for excellence that has earned them the respect of consumers and industry experts alike.
Pizza Hut Food Company uses superior products for each item on their menu. Their products have been voted number one in countless consumer surveys nationwide. In addition to top quality ingredients, Pizza Hut Food Company is constantly updating their menu to meet the ever expanding tastes of their customers. From heart-healthy items like the Veggie Mozzarella Pizza made with soy products to the new 4forAll Pizza with four separate pizzas in one box, Pizza Hut Food Company is always evolving. In February of this year, Pizza Hut Food Company became the first pizza franchise to deliver salads.
Pizza Hut Food Company franchisees exemplify the entrepreneurial spirit which launched our system back in 1958. Through interest and initiative, the Pizza Hut Food Company system was able to develop new territories both in the United States and overseas.
