Pizza Hut to close half of its U.K. restaurants

Pizza Hut UK news

Pizza Hut is closing half of its U.K. restaurants after being bought out of administration for the second time this year.

Rising food and staffing costs, shifting dining habits, and fierce competition from takeaway rivals like Domino’s have eroded its appeal.

Younger customers say the chain feels outdated and overpriced compared to modern pizzerias and high-quality supermarket options.

Experts point to changing lifestyles, health-conscious diets, and the growing popularity of artisanal pizza as reasons for Pizza Hut’s decline from a nostalgic family favourite to a struggling restaurant brand.
