"A review of local media reports, online review platforms such as Yelp and Google Reviews, and Pizza Hut's own store locator tool has found more than 50 locations that have closed in recent months, spanning cities across the United States."
"The closures are part of the brand's 'Hut Forward' turnaround plan, which also includes marketing support and technological upgrades to some existing stores."
"Pizza Hut is still growing globally. Last year, it opened 1,184 new locations across 65 countries."
"In November 2025, Yum Brands said it was undertaking a strategic review of Pizza Hut, which could ultimately result in a sale."
Pizza Hut is in the process of closing over 250 underperforming restaurants in the U.S., with more than 50 already shut down. The closures are part of the 'Hut Forward' turnaround plan, which includes marketing and technological upgrades. The U.S. now accounts for a smaller share of Pizza Hut's global sales, dropping from 43% to 40% in four years. Despite these closures, Pizza Hut continues to expand globally, opening 1,184 new locations last year across 65 countries. Yum Brands is also considering a strategic review of Pizza Hut, potentially leading to a sale.
