Pizza Hut is the largest pizza restaurant company in the world. It has 12,000 outlets in 90 countries, employing more than 300,000 people.

Our story began with one small restaurant and two young brothers - Dan and Frank Carney. In 1958 they were struck by inspiration, and opened the first Pizza Hut in Wichita, Kansas, USA.

When they were setting up, they only had room for 25 seats - and the restaurant sign only had space for nine letters. They wanted 'Pizza' in the name, which left space for just 3 more letters. Because the building looked like a hut, Pizza Hut was born.
