Pizza Hut will close 250 ‘underperforming’ locations in 2026 as list of struggling restaurants grows

Pizza Hut is closing hundreds of “underperforming” locations nationwide, according to parent company Yum! Brands, which reported fourth-quarter 2025 earnings on Wednesday.

The company said it will shutter about 3% of Pizza Hut’s U.S. locations, or some 250 locations in the first six months of 2026, as the fast-causal chain struggles amid competition from Dominos Pizza and an overall decline in store sales and consumer demand.

Fast Company has reached out to Pizza Hut for a list of locations that will be closing.
