(Photo #1) This was the original and 1st Pizza Hut in St Joseph.
Years later it was sold and this building has been home to 2 taverns.
A new Pizza Hut was built on the corner of Belt Highway & Gene Field road (Photo #2)
After many years, this older Pizza Hut was finally replaced with a new building (Photo #3 and photo #4)
I need to take some more photos of the new and improved building
When we were in a Pizza Hut in Orlando Florida while on vacation in the mid 1990s, they had a ranking list on the wall. At the top of the list was this Pizza Hut and it had been ranked as being the #1 Pizza Hut in the nation - We thought that was pretty neat.
Parking at this Pizza Hut had always been a problem. They had a very small parking lot in front. If you parked in a lot behind, those owners were always complaining about Pizza Hut customers parking in their lots, threatening to call the police, etc.
Pizza Hut bought the Captain D's property behind and built their new building behind the original on the newly purchased land. Then the old building was removed, thus creating a much larger parking lot in front. The new larger parking lot elevated their parking problem.
They also now have a drive thru pickup window in the rear of the building.
Pizza Hut submitted some of their parking lot land to the city so the city could create a 3rd lane used for turning north onto the Belt. It was a major improvement for Pizza Hut and traffic flow.
