Mon, 20 Oct 2025 Pizza Hut to close 68 UK restaurants

The move will lead to more than 1,200 redundancies, but 64 other restaurants will be saved.

* Pizza Hut UK has announced that 68 restaurants and 11 delivery sites will close, resulting in the loss of 1,210 jobs.
* The closures are due to DC London Pie Limited, which operates Pizza Hut's UK restaurants, falling into administration on Monday.
* However, global owner Yum! Brands has agreed to save 64 restaurants, preserving 1,276 jobs.
* The decision comes after DC London Pie bought Pizza Hut UK's restaurants from insolvency in January this year.
* Increased competition and a shift towards high-end pizza options have been cited as contributing factors to the decline of Pizza Hut's UK business.
* Yum! Brands' decision to take back the brand is seen as a strategic move, leveraging decades of data on consumer behavior and location success.
