Upload

This page is not a forum for general discussion about Pizza Hut. Any such comments may be removed or refactored. Please limit discussion to improvement of this article. You may wish to ask factual questions about Pizza Hut at the Reference desk.

There is a request, submitted by GVnayR (talk), for an audio version of this article to be created. For further information, see WikiProject Spoken Wikipedia.

The rationale behind the request is: "important article about an American-based pizza restaurant".

HQ Move

The article currently says: "Pizza Hut is relocating its headquarters to Legacy Office Park in nearby Plano when the lease on its current building, which it has occupied since 1995, expires on December 31, 2010." Since 12/31/10 has passed, that sentence is obviously inaccurate. I called Pizza Hut, they tell me they're going to move next Friday, and I'm going to amend the article to reflect that. I suspect that my phone call might be categorized as "original research" and thus uncitable in a Wikipedia article, but I'm hoping that that my fellow editors will let the rewrite stand for a week, at which time the article can be revised to cite their new headquarters. HMishkoff (talk) 21:28, 7 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

They did move on Friday -- but I know that only because I called and asked them, it was pretty much of a stealth move, I didn't see anything in the press (and they haven't even updated the address on their website yet). I went ahead and changed their HQ to Plano because I did finally manage to find one article to cite, but surely somebody can find something better. HMishkoff (talk) 02:11, 19 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What happened to the article??

This page is only showing me lists of countries that have pizza huts, where did the article go? I thought maybe someone blanked it, but there hasn't been an edit since January. The snare (talk) 04:21, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, no. That's the talk page that hasn't been edited. Anonymous user 71.42.191.58 blanked it. I see he/she was previously blocked and is at it again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by The snare (talk • contribs) 04:33, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

And is now blocked for it again. DMacks (talk) 15:50, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

History

Pizza Hut initially went public in January 1969 not 1972 and with approximately 100 locations. This was preceeded with a "pooling of interests" in December 1968 when all the francisees that wanted to participate exchanged their Pizza Huts for Pizza Hut stock. I was one of those persons. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wildduck99 (talk • contribs) 02:12, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That's great; if you have a reliable source that confirms that information, please add it to the article. Powers ^T 15:15, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Is there anyway to edit the map. Pizza Hut is in Vietnam (at least it is in Saigon). I was over there in December 2008 and saw it personally as well a KFC.

"Yummy! Brands"

The company is named "Yum! Brands" does anyone know of a source to support this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zzomtceo (talk • contribs) 23:32, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yum! Brands has several. Powers ^T 21:27, 3 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Pizza Hut in Sweden

I know there is at least two Pizza Hut restaurants in Stockholm, Sweden. So the map showing countries with Pizza Hut needs to be updated. (62.20.195.195 (talk) 20:52, 15 April 2012 (UTC))[reply]

Pizza Hut in Bulgaria

There is a Pizza Hut restaurant in Sofia, Bulgaria. Please update your map.--130.204.204.44 (talk) 08:30, 24 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request on 27 October 2012

Pizza Hut's first commercial advertising was a radio advertisement on KLEO AM. In a few short years in Wichita Kansas Pizza Hut introduced Food Truck delivery. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ICT1973 (talk • contribs) 20:08, 27 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please provide a reliable source for your proposed addition. Powers ^T 21:08, 27 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request on 31 December 2012

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Pizza Hut. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

If you Believe in any of these; Human Rights, Free Speech, Marriage Equality, The Right to Live a Happy fulfilling life, The Right to Defend yourself against Harm, and I'm sure there are many more I can list. However my points is, if you believe in any of this, then you will not be going to pizza hut until they make this right. Everyone should re-post this story until Pizza Hut has satisfied the consumer who supports this poor man. Its a shame, the way they havent even made a public statement in regards to this story. I am allowed to carry mace with me while I work...My company gave it to me. The driver for any Pizza Delivery should be given mace as well. At the Companies expense. 68.32.120.40 (talk) 02:47, 31 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
