Pizza Hut is Bringing Back the 90s with Cheap Pizza and Cool Clothes!

(Based on a news report from Columbus, Ohio)

What Was Pizza Hut Like in the 1990s?

A long time ago (in the 1990s), some grown-ups remember walking into a Pizza Hut restaurant and finding:

• A big table with all-you-can-eat pizza (a buffet).
• Pizzas (sometimes called "pies") that cost less than five dollars.
• A shaker of yummy parmesan cheese (that powdery cheese) that you could shake onto your food as much as you wanted!

Not everyone remembers those days, but Pizza Hut wants to bring a little bit of that happy time back.

The Throwback Value Menu: Eat Like It’s 1990!

On Tuesday, Pizza Hut told everyone that they are sending a "slice of the 90s" to people in central Ohio. They are doing this by starting a new Throwback Value Menu and also making special limited-edition cool clothes with another company.

Starting this week, at Pizza Hut restaurants that are taking part (in central Ohio), the big star of this throwback plan is the Throwback Value Menu.

Here are the cheap, old-school food prices:

• $3 for a Personal Pan Pizza (a small pizza just for you)
• $4 for Breadsticks and Cinnamon Sticks (tasty bread treats)
• $10 for a Medium One-Topping Stuffed Crust Pizza (a pizza with cheese inside the edge and one topping)

Important: These special throwback prices are for central Ohio diners and only at participating Pizza Hut locations. They are part of a limited nostalgia promotion!

Pizza Hut Teams Up with Cool Clothes Makers

Pizza Hut said they are working with a company called Dinner Service NY. This is a group from New York City that makes "streetwear" — that’s just a friendly word for casual, cool clothing often inspired by city life. They are known for making clothes that playfully copy restaurant looks.

Together, they made a small, special set of clothes (called a "capsule collection"). The clothes look like old-time Pizza Hut stuff, including:

• The brand’s old red-roof look (like the shape of the restaurant roof).
• The loved "BOOK IT!" program, which was a childhood reading club where kids got rewards for reading books.
