Overview
- DC London Pie Limited, which runs Pizza Hut’s UK dine-in estate, appointed FTI Consulting as administrators after weeks of financial pressure including an HMRC winding-up petition.
- Yum! Brands acquired the dine-in business through a pre-pack, preserving 64 restaurants and transferring about 2,259 employees under UK TUPE rules.
- Pizza Hut said 68 restaurants and 11 delivery sites will shut, with 1,210 redundancies announced as part of the closures.
- Delivery and takeaway outlets operate separately from the dine-in business and continue trading, with full lists of affected locations still being finalized.
- The collapse comes less than a year after Directional Capital took over the estate in January 2025, reflecting persistent strain on UK casual dining.
