[Jag67]

heheh..Here's a remodeled pizza hut. I agree. The stuffed crust pizza is REALLY good. Too bad it makes you fat!!

[Rayco7030]

all the pizza huts are closed but the one in amherst-hadley,mass  :(

Most of the Pizza Huts in my area and counties around were the old "hut" shaped red roofed ones...but the 2004 Hurricane season took care of that...most of them are just metal and wood frames now, I think there are plans to convert at least one into a new "Italian villa" format or something...

[Jag67]

ALL our local pizza huts are the old hut-shaped red ones..and all still have the old logo too!!

[amesman]

Actually, Jag, the one in Hamburg(which I believe you have pictured above) is the only Buffalo area one to have the new logo.

[Jag67]

yep, that's the hamburg one..But actually, I think there's one in Tonawanda that has it too.

[amesman]

oh, ok. cool. Thanks for telling me :) Man, its been 2 years since I've been to Buffalo. I'm surprised I even remember where that one was..lol

[Jag67]

yep, that's what all our pizza huts look like lol...I wonder when that design was first used...It looks kinda 60's to me. I lke the old logo too. It actually makes me hungry!! Hard to believe it's from 1969..Our old library looks EXACTLY like a pizza hut..Right down to the roof and windows. Heck, it could've BEEN a pizza hut it's so similar!! In fact, a while ago, as a joke, somebody wrote "Pizza hut" on the roof. Of course, it eventually wore down to "pizz-". I'll post a pic when we're down there again..

Luckilly, Pizza Hut's been VERY slow in replacing signs, so I think the oldlogo will be around for quite a while.

Since the hurricane damage, our Pizza Hut signs were wittled down to random letters until they were eventually torn down altogether. Some examples: "izza U" and "Pizza Hu".

A Pizza Hut in Bangor ME.  I was not taking a picture of it but it's there.  A recent, large, brick restaurant that replaced a very old small one nearby.

[Zayre88]

Here is the former Pizza Hut.  It looks very old.  Sorry but the picture is a very bad take. :P(former Ames/Zayre in Bangor)

Lol thats funny did the news take pics of the Pizza Hut damage after the hurricane?

I'm interested in seeing the pics!


I've made powerpoint representations of what the damage would look like

Sadly, not that I know of :( I just drove past the "Pizza Hu" today--however, "izza u" is just a wood and metal frame now :(

Not really but the area where it is was the first commercial strip in town.  The two shopping centers in the Pizza Hut area opened in the mid 60's.

[Jag67]

here's an older one with a replaced sign

Is it just me, or does that sign just not look quite right?

Better than "izza u", though, I guess...

We only had one of the "classic" Pizza Huts here, they expanded in this area by buying up Straw Hat Pizza, so all the pizza Huts here looked like Straw Hats instead of the traditional Pizza Huts! The one Pizza Hut styled building is still there, but it's one of those tacky payday loan things.

It looks like the letters are too far away from each other.  Compare with the other restaurants shown above.

[Caldor1999]

lol they do

[Jag67]

sweet...so THATS why they dont look right!!! Thanx for posting pics amesfanman. Sweet!! I don't like the smaller signs on top of the restaurants, they don't really fit right.

I guess Pizza Hut is OK.  I like the salad bar.  Only thing is everytime I eat there I go home and feel like crap.

I like this Pizza Hut sign so cool

That's in an old Winchell's Donuts location. Pizza Hut took over a lot of those when Winchell's closed over half their locations. Pizza Hut just replaces the plastic part of the sign that said "Winchell's" Here is a sample Winchell's sign:

current Pizza Hut building style

OLIVE GARDEN COPYCATTERS!

that's because Pizza Hut and Olive Garden are owned by the same company.

Plus I never thought Olive Garden and Pizza Hut were owned by the same company!

That's because they aren't - Olive Garden (along with Red Lobster, Smokey Bones and Bahama Breeze) are under Darden Restaurants.

Pizza Hut (and KFC, Taco Bell, Long John Silvers) are a separate company (not sure what the current name is - used to be a part of PepsiCo a number of years back) - this is why many of these are co-located in various combintions.
