Exploring where all the Pizza Hut Classic restaurants can be found

According to Rolando Pujol, aka The Retrologist, Pizza Hut first brought back its iconic 1974 logo in 2019. Since then, it has been transitioning, including bringing back several iconic features from the past over the last few years.

These include the original logo used on the pole sign alongside the top of the red roof of the food joint. Occasionally, the pole sign also mentions the word “Classic.”

As for the interior décor, cozy red booths, checkered tablecloths, and old-school Tiffany-styled lamps have also been reintroduced. The doors now have Pizza Hut mascot Pete’s stickers displayed on them, while posters from the original Pizza Hut days are also portrayed around.

Besides, a plaque focusing on the legacy of the brand as described by Pizza Hut’s co-founder, Dan Carney, is also exhibited. Some joints even have a PAC-Man machine; all of them serve the long-discarded Pan Pizza and red cups.
