Pizza Hut Number One.

Pizza Hut Museum

Pizza Hut was invented by Wichita State University students, and their first Hut has been moved onto the campus as a museum. The one-story brick structure looks nothing like its modern progeny, but it is definitely hut-like.

First Pizza Hut.

First Pizza Hut

The first Pizza Hut was originally located at Kellogg and Bluff, in Wichita. However, when Kellogg began being expanded to become a bonafide freeway, the building was moved to the campus of Wichita State University. It seems that the two guys who started Pizza Hut were once business majors at WSU.
