Dan and Frank Carney created Pizza Hut, an internationally renowned American restaurant business and franchise, in 1958 in Wichita, Kansas. By 2020, the company, which has its global headquarters in Plano, Texas, will run more than 17,000 eateries. Pizza Hut is renowned for its enormous selection of pizzas, which include, among others, pan pizza, stuffed crust pizza, and hand-tossed pizza. The brand is also known for its unusual building design, which had a particular roof shape and lettering style that were typical of Pizza Hut locations in the United States.

The business has a long history; it started with a single facility in Wichita, Kansas, and within six months added a second location. In 1959, the Carney brothers started franchising, and in 1963 and 1969, respectively, the famous Pizza Hut architectural style was developed. The company was created in 2002 under the name Tricon Global Restaurants after the brand was first purchased by PepsiCo in 1977.

With multiple stores all around the UK, Pizza Hut has a major presence there. The company was ranked number 24 on the list of the 200 Most Influential Brands in the World in 2015 by the UK-based Richtopia. To reclaim "the Nando's generation," the firm spent £60 million building cocktail bars at its London stores in the middle of the 2010s. This demonstrates Pizza Hut's dedication to adjusting to regional tastes and trends to provide its customers in the UK and other countries with a distinctive dining experience.
