What I wanted to find today was something more…sentimental. Unless you know where to look. So, stick with me for a bit, because this story goes beyond just the simple joy of stuffed crust. In early , comedian Craig Robinson began appearing in a series of Pizza Hut commercials. These were the brick-and-mortar locations with trapezoid windows, slanted roofs, checkered table clothes, red vinyl booths, and stained glass lamps that illuminated the pipping hot pizza being served in a hot skillet. One of the Craig Robinson Pizza Hut commercials. Odds are, you at least knew of this era of Pizza Hut even if you never ate at one. The corporate directive to construct franchise locations in a defined, physically specific manner created a brand identity that went well beyond just a logo or wordmark. Even after Pizza Hut began abandoning the buildings of their heyday, it was easy to look at a structure and just know what its past life had been. Examples of abandoned Pizza Huts as seen in my Suburbia Lost series. Newer locations usually offer little to no seating, serving simply as small storefronts with less overhead.

In , Pizza Hut brought back its logo, banking on its nostalgic appeal. I figured that would be the end of it, just a simple marketing tactic soon forgotten. The old logo is used in pole signage as well as at the top of the usually but not always red-roofed restaurant. So far, these stores appear to be limited to smaller markets, where these legacy stores have survived, the bones of the old buildings intact. I was even interviewed for a podcast concerning the rise of Pizza Hut Classics. John Lagomarsino of Underunderstood was just as fascinated as I was — and just as stymied in his efforts to learn more about them. John interviewed me for his podcast while also taking a crack at starting a list of Pizza Hut Classics. Keep checking for updates as I get new information, or stumble upon them in my travels. There are surely more. This is only the beginning!

Marketing has also failed. I don't believe it offers a buffet anymore, as it's not advertised and I'm leaning toward it probably not even offering anything except carry out.

As soon as the images surfaced online, netizens were excited over the Pizza Hut Classic rendition, with many seeking that the transition happen nationwide.

The old logo is used in pole signage as well as at the top of the usually but not always red-roofed restaurant. Pizza Hut to me is one of those chains that is always "there" but doesn't really stand out. At that point those things were all they had going for them vs the cheap carry out options. My guess is when dine in and buffet options were dropped in , this was the final mail in the coffin for them. These restaurants designate themselves as "Pizza Hut Classic", and the author of the Instagram post says that he is aware of at least 12 of them so far. Share this post. I still fell for it.
