Pizza Hut Becomes Pasta Hut In The UK


Pizza Hut will be changing it’s name in the UK in an attempt to promote a healthier image!
Thirty Pizza Hut restaurants will be temporarily rebranded to Pasta Hut in a bid to reflect changes in the menu which now favours pasta dishes.
According to chief executive Alasdair Murdoch, the company wants people to know that Pizza Hut don’t just do great pizzas, but are also great for pastas and salads too.
“The popular salad bar has been upgraded. Improvements have been made in areas including nutrition, quality of ingredients in all of our pizzas and pastas, as well as a decrease in salt and saturated fat.” said Mr. Murdoch.
Pasta currently accounts for three to four percent of total sales, but the company is hoping that this will increase to around ten percent in the near future.
It was also revealed that Pizza Hut plans to sneak hidden vegetables into children’s meals as part of the new health drive!
