The company hired food scientists to patent a crust that wouldn't break down when mixed with garlic, and launched such hits as BigFoot, the Edge, and Triple Decker.In 1995, the chain introduced stuffed puff pastry, and the following year, PepsiCo's (then the parent company's) stock price rose about 50 percent; four years after the publication of "the Big New Yorker" (the Big New Yorker) increased same-store sales by 9 percent.
Wild, innovative pizza drove the market.
But these days, Pizza Hut rarely offers new products. In recent years, the best the restaurant has done is switch the cheese sandwiched between toppings from mozzarella to cheddar, or introduce an occasional unlucky appetizer, such as the stuffed Cheez-It.In 2017, Pizza Hut's parent company Yum Brands spent spending about $22 million on it, which, taking inflation into account, is $10 million less than in the golden age of pizza in the 1990s. That same year, Yum invested $130 million in pizza delivery technology and related marketing."
In 1994, Delta developed a Web site that allowed customers to drag virtual toppings onto a pie on a screen.

During the first week of the new Crown Pneumonia lockdown, Delta is offering 50 percent off to everyone in the United States.

First, the company has a beautiful ordering app and controls its delivery chain. I know when an order is "ready" and track it every step of the way.
You see, this pizza company has a deep understanding of the consumer. The company fairly prices its products at $10-$15, including delivery, and has an excellent customer experience.
Today, the company has delivery hotspots and specialized delivery cell phones to reach areas that were previously impossible to reach.
I don't consider them a tech company, but 10 years later, their stock price has gone from $8.59 to $374.50, a 43-fold increase! That's much better than most venture capital firms
