I was watching Food Network and saw this and I like to share it with u guys. Although I am not a fan of Pizza Hut or atleast not in the Middle East region!


The history of Pizza hut began in 1958, when what is now the world's largest pizza franchise was born. Today the Pizza hut company is part of the Pepsi Empire, but back then two brothers Dan and Frank Carney borrowed $600 from their mother and started to forge the history of Pizza hut.
