About Pizza Hut in Thailand
A Pioneering Arrival in the 1980s
Pizza Hut was one of the early innovators in Thailand’s pizza scene, debuting in 1980 under the guidance of Minor Food Group and the leadership of William Heinecke. The first outlet opened in the resort town of Pattaya, challenging local perceptions about pizza and its appeal to Thai consumers.
Evolution and Market Expansion
Following its initial success in Pattaya, Pizza Hut quickly expanded into Bangkok, laying the groundwork for the country’s pizza market. Over time, franchise rights shifted first to Yum Restaurants International and later, in 2017, to PH Capital, a subsidiary of Thoresen Thai Agencies, reinforcing its longstanding influence in Thailand.
About Pizza Hut
A Slice of Innovation Since 1958
In 1958, brothers Dan and Frank Carney opened the first Pizza Hut in Wichita, Kansas, using $600 borrowed from their mother. The name "Pizza Hut" was chosen because their sign only had room for eight letters. Their commitment to quality and service quickly made the restaurant a local favorite, leading to rapid expansion through franchising. Today, Pizza Hut operates thousands of locations worldwide, offering a variety of pizzas and other menu items to customers around the globe.
Crafting Pizzas with Passion
Pizza Hut's menu features a range of options to satisfy diverse tastes. Signature offerings include the Original Pan Pizza, known for its thick, buttery crust, and the Stuffed Crust Pizza, which adds melted cheese inside the crust. For those seeking variety, the menu also includes items like the Meat Lover's Pizza, Supreme Pizza, and Veggie Lover's Pizza. Beyond pizzas, customers can enjoy pasta dishes, wings with various sauces, and desserts such as the Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie and Cinnamon Sticks.
Serving Communities Beyond the Table
Pizza Hut is committed to making a positive impact in the communities it serves. The BOOK IT! Program, established in 1984, encourages children to develop a love for reading by rewarding them with free pizza for meeting reading goals. Additionally, the Pizza Hut Foundation supports education and literacy initiatives, providing scholarships and partnering with nonprofit organizations to empower young people. Through these efforts, Pizza Hut strives to be more than just a restaurant—it aims to be a valued community partner.
From its humble beginnings in Kansas to its global presence today, Pizza Hut continues to deliver delicious food and meaningful community engagement, one slice at a time.
