Pizza Hut was always an entrepreneurial, innovative, fast-thinking place. It was the kind of organization where everyone shared the learning. As Frank Carney said, "To me, the biggest strength of Pizza Hut was that we had an awful lot of people who came up with great ideas. " Pizza Hut grew rapidly. Pizza Hut introduced "Pan Pizza" in 1980 throughout its network. The product, with a thicker crust made in deep pans, soon became popular. However, the basic internal philosophy was and still is "Take care of the customer. " The Pizza Hut brand experience resonates today: generosity, hard work, friendships, innovation, naturalness, and fun. It was and always will be more than just the pizza.
