Pizza Hut's UK restaurants have gone into administration today, with hundreds of jobs at 68 eat-in locations at risk across the country.
Pizza Hut said HMRC filed a winding-up petition against DC Pie as the franchisee. The company's international owner Yum! Brands is believed to have saved 64 of the at-risk restaurants, and 1,277 team members are believed to be transferring to the Yum! business.
But 68 locations remain at risk. The owner of the restaurants, DC London Pie Ltd, has appointed FTI Consulting as administrators.
The company has now revealed which of the locations in Scotland are to close.
These are:
- Dundee
-
Edinburgh
- Edinburgh (unspecified)
- Edinburgh Fountain Park
- Edinburgh Kinnaird Park
- Falkirk
- Inverness

What about Pizza Hut takeaway?
Pizza Hut Takeaway branches are unaffected as they are part of a separate business.
Pizza Hut said in a statement yesterday: “Today, we announce the acquisition of the Pizza Hut dine-in operations through a pre-packaged administration, after FTI was announced today as administrators of DC London Pie Limited, a franchisee of Pizza Hut dine-in restaurants.
“We are pleased to secure the continuation of 64 sites to safeguard our guest experience and protect the associated jobs. Approximately 2,259 team members will transfer to the new Yum! equity business, including above-restaurant leaders and support teams.”
