Pizza Hut in China:

Pizza Hut, as its name suggests, has been winning the hearts of Chinese consumers with its belief in "Pizza Hut" since it opened its first Chinese restaurant in Beijing in 1990. As of December 2016, Pizza Hut has more than 1,700 Pizza Hut casual dining restaurants in more than 400 cities in China.

Pizza Hut is part of Yum Brands, a world-renowned restaurant group with a network of nearly 43,000 restaurants in more than 130 countries and regions around the world.

Pizza is a food that originated in Italy. Pizza is usually made from a leavened round of dough covered with tomato sauce, cheese and other toppings and baked in an oven. The cheese is usually mozzarella, but there is also a mixture of several cheeses, including parmesan, romano, ricotta or Monterey Jack.

It is estimated that there are about 20,000 pizzerias in Italy and the largest pizza chain in the world is Pizza Hut.

The origin of Pizza Hut and Red Roof

The pizza chain "Pizza Hut" has entered the Chinese market for 20 years, and has opened more than 500 restaurants in more than 100 cities in China, and receives close to 100 million customers every year. People may not realize that the birth of Pizza Hut is actually quite legendary, thanks to the encouragement of a landlady.

In 1958, the two Kearney brothers, the founders of Pizza Hut, were still attending college in Kansas and helping out at their parents' grocery store in the evenings and on weekends. One day, the landlady of a tavern that was too noisy for the drinkers encouraged the Kearny brothers to open a pizza restaurant there.

The Kearney brothers were so impressed that they borrowed $600 from their parents to start their own business. At the time, the restaurant was small, with only 25 seats, and the original sign was only large enough to hold nine letters of the alphabet. Since it was a pizza restaurant, the word "PIZZA" was essential, leaving room for four more letters.

A relative stood in front of the store looking at it and casually remarked, "The restaurant looks like a hut." The comment sealed the deal, and "PIZZA HUT" was born, and the red roof became the brand identity of Pizza Hut.
