Pizza Hut Font is an American fast food chain and international franchise that offers Italian-American cuisine. It prepares pizzas of different types and side dishes, pasta, and desserts. The first point appeared in the city of Wichita, Kansas, where it was founded by the Carney brothers – Dan and Frank. Today, the pizzeria is the world’s largest catering structure, with more than 18,700 restaurants (as of January 2020). It is no coincidence that the British company Richtopia ranked it 24th in the 200 most influential brands. The service is currently a subsidiary of Yum! Brands, Inc.
In 1958, two student brothers from Wichita State University decided to open an Italian pizzeria in their town. Six months later, they established a second location, and in 1959, they had a real fast food chain with nine restaurants. That same year, Dan and Frank switched to a franchise system. The iconic Pizza Hut building design came later (in 1963). It was designed by architect George Lindstrom, who worked in Chicago. The project was completed in 1969.
In 1977, the restaurant chain was taken over by another owner: it was bought by PepsiCo. After 20 years, Pizza Hut, along with two other food service chains (Kentucky Fried Chicken and Taco Bell), left the chain and formed a new entity called Tricon Global Restaurants, Inc. But then, a few years later, it changed it: the result was Yum! Brands in the spring of 2020.
