Pizza Hut, LLC is an American multinational pizza restaurant chain and international franchise founded in 1958 in Wichita, Kansas, by brothers Dan and Frank Carney. The chain, headquartered in Plano, Texas, operates 19,974 restaurants worldwide as of 2025. While studying at Wichita State University, the Carneys opened their first location, which quickly expanded to six outlets within a year.

Brands in 2002, who are the current owners.
