Pizza Hut® is the family pizza place. Today, franchisees and joint venture partnerships account for more than half of the Pizza Hut® system's total units. Their development on the international front is a good indication of the growth that has characterized their system. Following the opening of the first international restaurant in Canada in 1968, Pizza Hut® restaurants quickly appeared in Mexico, South America, Australia, Europe, the Far East and Africa. Today, Pizza Hut® operates in more than 100 countries and territories throughout the world. © Pizza Hut, Inc.
