LONDON, July 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pizza Hut UK is reopening the doors to its iconic Marble Arch restaurant after a significant brand investment into the restaurant’s refurbishment and is marking the occasion with a nationwide search for customer memories of Pizza Hut spanning decades.
One of Pizza Hut’s most recognisable UK restaurants, the Marble Arch location has been feeding good times for generations; from family celebrations and first dates to post-shopping pizza stops and iconic childhood birthday parties. Now, as the family favourite restaurant begins a new chapter following a complete refurbishment, we want to see the receipts.
Launching a social media competition to coincide with the reopening, Pizza Hut UK is inviting the public to dig back in the family archive and share throwback photographs of themselves dining at any of Pizza Hut restaurants. We know that Pizza Hut has been part of some of the nation’s most important milestones, and using the #HutMemory Pizza Hut UK wants to share some of those moments of joy as a tribute to the flagship restaurant spot & the 57 other Pizza Hut restaurants across the UK.
The first 100 participants who share their snaps on social and details of their memory with #HutMemory by 12th July will receive a Pizza Hut voucher for £19.73* - the year that Pizza Hut opened its very first restaurant in the UK. Everyone who receives a voucher will also be entered into a prize draw to win a grand prize of £1,973.
Jana Ulaite, Chief Marketing Officer at Pizza Hut UK said: “For decades, our Marble Arch Hut has been a place where friends, families and loved ones have come together to share great food and make lasting memories. It’s an iconic restaurant for all of us, and this competition is a chance to give back to the people who’ve truly made it what it is. Feeding good times is what we do best, and we’ve been doing it since 1973, which is why we’re asking our diners to share their favourite Pizza Hut memories to bring the story of our UK heritage to life."
Rooted in Pizza Hut's heritage but reimagined for today, the newly refreshed restaurant delivers an elevated dining experience that combines contemporary design, greater comfort and the unmistakable Pizza Hut warmth guests have loved for decades.
The refurbishment of its Marble Arch flagship reflects Pizza Hut UK’s confidence in the enduring appeal of its dine in experience and plans for future growth, with the next iconic flagship location tabled for refurbishment being the Trafford Centre in Manchester.
