In Pizza Hunt, Chloe Cahill and Ho Hai Tran trace the destinies of the once-ubiquitous dine-in Pizza Hut restaurants built by the thousands during the 1970s, ’80s, and ’90s. Today, only a few survive — reborn as grocery stores, pawnshops, gospel churches, liquor stores, funeral homes, and more.
Those that escaped demolition now occupy a curious space between the ordinary and the unforgettable. Even with new paint, altered interiors, or entirely different purposes, their familiar silhouettes instantly recall an era of dine-in fast food, endless pizza buffets, and self-serve sundaes.
