I'm not sorry to say it. Good.
We have two decent places in a 50 mile radius. One is a south side of Chicago greasy pizza, out of a family owned and ran for 50 years place, the other is a lady who does true deep dish, in real brick ovens, she got the recipe for her dough from an old Italian guy who sold her the ovens. Since Pizza Hut went away, Domino's closed and Little Cesar's is almost dead, she opened a second location, and both places are doing well, as well as offering lunch specials for about the same price, and it's leaps and bounds better than the chain places. Capitalism works sometimes.

To answer OP's question, we've still got plenty of PIzza Huts around, but a good number have definitely closed. Let's just say we've got a lot of old looking 'hut buildings' that are businesses of some sort, but they are definitely not serving pizza. |

There is one nearby, been there as long as I can remember. Rarely ever see it busy, they do not deliver. But yet somehow manages to stay open. I go there once or twice a year

Pizza Hut sit down restaurants have been closing down for years, they're mostly walk ins where you pick up your order these days.
It's funny, I grew up in the south side of Buffalo where there is a mom and pop pizza joint on just about every corner. Going to that one Pizza Hut was considered a treat. Now I'm surrounded by Pizza Hut/Dominos and I'd kill for the kinda pizza I took for granted back then. |

Local one is still going. They have not been able to compete with Mazzios though. There is a waitress that has been there for like 33 years or some such, so I still go there occasionally to support her, she is just really nice but it has been probably a year.

We still have a sit-down PH here, but the service sucks. I usually go to Pizza Inn, I can call it in and pick it up in their drive-thru.

They put a new one in at the end of my road about 6 months ago. It was really good for the first month....then their food went to shit! It's disgusting now like they moved to bottom of the barrel ingredients after the opening rush. Everybody I know refuses to eat there now. Used to love PIzza Hut.

I used to love Pizza Slut. Pan with pepperoni and pork sausage.
But if I eat there now, I have about 15 minutes to find a bathroom. Its like clockwork down to the minute. I just simply can't eat there now. Its the only place that does this to me, too. |

I think the ones around me are all gone other then the drive through kfc's and taco bells that also sell some pizza slut stuff. I think the Papa Johns are all gone too. Can't say I'll miss either of them.

There is a few of around me that closed and turned into family owned businesses. There are a couple that are still open and running and I can't imagine why because they are dirty as fuck and never have more then 5 or 6 people in eating at anytime.

In my small town there is a Pizza Hut, Dominos and Pizza Inn.
The Pizza Hut is resoundingly decent and the Domino's is much improved over what I remember of the shit they produced in the late 1980's. Pizza Inn makes CiCi's seem like something Gordon Ramsay would cook. It's utter shit. |

All the Pizza Huts are still humming along here, but I heard we are also getting a Pizza Ranch nearby. Oh, yeah! Taco pizza. |

Domino's isn't the absolute shit pizza it once was. It's not great pizza either (we all know your local place is better), but it's better than Pizza Hut at the moment. They really fixed a lot of things. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Lots of Pizza Huts around here too.
There is one in Geneva OH, one in Ashtabula OH, one in Conneaut Lake OH, one in Meadville PA, one in Girard PA...all full service restaurants. There is even a take-out/delivery one in little shithole Conneaut OH. Personally, the only thing Little Caesars has going for it is the stuffed crust pizza. The only thing from Dominoes I can tolerate is their new handmade deep dish pizza. It doesn't have that God-awful cornmeal crap on the crust. |

We have 1 pizza hut and it still does the buffet. Unfortunately, the delivery pizza options for my side of town blow: Pizza Hut, Dominoes, and Papa John's are it. All of the small independents that are better won't come out my way. I don't order pizza anymore.

One of the big (and unfortunate) changes Pizza Hut made is that they no longer make their crust fresh at individual locations. They now ship out frozen crusts from a central location to their stores. It is garbage. |

If all the Pizza Huts, Domino's, Papa Johns, Little Caesars disappeared overnight, I would still have dozens of pizza shops within 3 miles to patronize.
