1. Welcome to Pizza Hut Classic Marker
My brother and I opened the first Pizza Hut in Wichita, Kansas, with nothing but a dream and $600 borrowed from our mother. Since then, we've become one of the world's best-known brands. This Pizza Hut Classic celebrates our heritage with a design that's reminiscent of our original dine-in restaurants. It reminds us of the Pizza Hut where generations of Americans first fell in love with pizza. We're so happy to have you here: we hope you will fall in love all over again!
