Pizza Hut is one of the world’s best-known pizza restaurants. It was founded in 1958 in Kansas, USA, by brothers Dan and Frank Carney. Twenty years later, it was bought by Pepsico. Pizza Hut offers dine-in, takeaway and home delivery options in nearly all its 10,000 locations in more than 90 countries. The website says: “At Pizza Hut, we take great pride and care to provide you with the best food and dining experience in the quick-service restaurant business.” The company is well-known for using famous people in their adverts. These include former Soviet Union Premier Mikhail Gorbachev, ex-boxing champion Muhammad Ali and theMuppets. The company was also the first to sponsor the first space pizza delivery in 2001, when the company’s name was put on the side of a Russian rocket.
