Pizza Hut didn't show as a new-born chain until the late '60s. My
neighbor knew the brothers from back home and came out here to open a
PH and became very, very wealthy by ever expanding.
Box pizza was at least 15 years earlier. No pizza joints in towns
across the US. You had to go to the big cities to find Italian and
Chinese restaurants. Then Kresge (sp? a 5 and dime) got into the act
and sold pizza by the slice. They put it up there one slice at a time
in the case just like they displayed pie.
