Pizza Hut, a division of Tricon Restaurants International, is the world's largest pizza chain. Pizza Hut has, so far, set up 18 restaurants in nine cities across the country. The third Pizza Hut restaurants would soon be coming up in Pune in two months time, Thakkar said.

Pizza Hut's expansion was indicative of the acceptance of the concept of pizza as a cuisine option in India, he said. The first Pizza Hut restaurant in Pune had received a good response, and was serving 500 to 600 pizzas per day to around 1,200 people per day. A similar turnout is expected at the second restaurant also. The second restaurant seats 105 persons. The 4000 sq. ft. restaurant is a two-floor affair with an exclusive play zone for kids.
