Pizza Hut is closing nearly 500 dine-in restaurants

Pizza Hut dine-in restaurants are becoming a thing of the past. Pizza Hut customers will still be able to get their favorite foodstuffs just not at their preferred dine-in locations.

FOX News reports fans from across the Twitterverse are responding to news of Pizza Hut planning to close around 500-dine-in locations across the country, as the company plans to transition to a more modern delivery and carryout focused asset base.

Perhaps the most famous complaint came from model and TV personality Chrissy Teigen who said she loved the chain for at least one very specific reason, FOX News reports.

“F— this,” she wrote on Twitter, in response to a WTHR article reporting on Pizza Hut’s plans. “I love them because I like to see my toppings on top of the cheese. long live the hut. but also let’s work on your sauces,” she added.

According to FOX News, Pizza Hut currently operates 7,496 restaurants across the nation and the chain plans to whittle that number down to around 7,000.

A spokesperson for Pizza Hut was not immediately available to comment.
