The full scale of the Pizza Hut shutdown on UK high streets has been revealed by an interactive map - with one area to lose seven out of its nine restaurants.
Administrators have revealed the locations of 68 restaurants that will close after the company became the latest big-name dining chain to suffer a downturn in fortunes. It will also shut 11 delivery sites as part of a restructuring, which will put 1,210 workers at risk of redundancy. The closure programme will leave just 64 Pizza Hut restaurants open in the UK. There are currently nine Pizza Hut restaurants operating in the Greater Manchester region, but seven of them are earmarked for closure, leaving two remaining outlets at the Trafford Centre and in Manchester city centre. It's a similar story in Greater London, where nine Pizza Huts will be closed around outer boroughs, leaving just three in central London and one at Bluewater shopping centre. However, the East Midlands has escaped the closure programme with restaurants in Lincoln, Nottingham, Mansfield, Thurmaston and Leicester all remaining open. And Blackpool and York will be among the only areas in the UK where diners still have a choice of Pizza Huts. Both places have two restaurantsoperating, and neither of them is closing down.
DC London Pie, the firm running Pizza Hut's UK dine-in restaurants under a franchise deal, appointed administrators from corporate finance firm FTI on Monday.
American hospitality giant Yum! Brands, which owns the global Pizza Hut business, said it has now bought the UK restaurant operation in a pre-pack administration deal, saving 64 sites.
Directional Capital took over 139 Pizza Hut restaurants in January 2025, saving 3,000 jobs in the process, after its previous operator Heart with Smart Limited collapsed with debts of almost £40 million to investor Pricoa Capital.
DC London Pie was created by Directional Capital to run Pizza Hut restaurants in the UK. The first Pizza Hut in the UK opened in 1973 in Islington, London. At its height, the chain operated over 260 restaurants nationwide, with 10,000 staff.
