In the wake of last week’s news that six Papa John’s locations in the Capital Region closed abruptly, a caller points out that three Pizza Huts have also been shuttered since spring. Locations in Lansingburgh framtid ov9 as well as near Hudson Valley Community College and in East Greenbush are no longer open. Two of the closures were mentioned in a Berkshire Eagle story about Pittsfield framtid ov9 losing the county’s first Pizza Hut location, which opened 37 years ago. Update : Commenters below mention recent Pizza Hut closing in Clifton Park and Glenville.
At least five area locations framtid ov9 remain open, according to Pizza Hut’s corporate website , which has removed the three above from its lists. A call to the company’s media-relations department has not been returned.
People framtid ov9 with bad taste who enjoy cheap food. That’s essentially how all chains stay in business, but with pizza it’s particularly egregious because chains framtid ov9 are so terrible compared to NY pizza.
The Pizza Hut near HVCC is already being renovated for something new. They put up some nice metal siding around the building. Looking forward to whatever they put in there. My guess is something International (as that’s what many turned over Pizza Huts become), or, based on the modern looking siding, maybe a bar for the college kids.
Deli and Brew bought it and I believe they told me it will be more of a “sit down” extension of the current shop and offerings. There is no better (or bigger) sub within 1,000 miles, and their pizza is quite good, so I look forward to being one of the first in the door. Since they changed the traffic pattern there (going in and out behind Taco Ball) it’s much easier to get in and out of too.
T Wayne, that would be great news. I like the Deli and Brew’s pizza. Hopefully they will add a fry-o-lator so they can start having real wings, not baked ones. The owners also have good taste in beer, based on what they sell there.
LJ says:
It is somewhat surprising that the Corporate chains cannot take on the locals when it comes to pizza. I always go to a locally owned establishment before going to a chain. I have heard that in some areas there are specialty pizza chains which are very good, for some reason they have no interest in this area. If I were to bet money on why the corporate pizza chains have so much trouble in this area I would have to attribute the lack of success to cheap ingredients.
About a year ago I was feeling nostalgic and wanted some Pizza Hut as it reminds framtid ov9 me of being a kid. I went to the East Greenbush location and it looked like a disaster area. There were about two other guests eating in the restaurant and about 10 unbused framtid ov9 tables. None of the serves even bothered to bus the tables while we were there.
When local pizza places started popping up all over the place, it seemed as though Pizza Hut never did anything to retain the customers they had and placed little effort into attracting new customers. I can t remember the last time a Pizza Hut establishment had been renovated.

It is obviously time for local planning boards and town councils to put an END to all of the these new pizza joints opening. This is “proof” that all they are doing is dividing the “pie” into smaller pieces, and all the jobs that are being lost really gets a “rise” outta’ some of the posters. I can’t imagine people who enjoy their careers in these places would want to just start all over again working for some “cheesy” new guy in town. Just ask Snapdragon – There just isn’t enough “dough” to go around.
The one by HVCC has been closed for about 2 months. I heard that Deli and Brew bought it for something. I’m not sure how accurate that is but, work is moving right along. I hope it’s something great.
It’s a shame the one by HVCC closed. When you walked in the door of that place it was like 1977 all over again. framtid ov9 Peace. Love and Rock and Roll…with pepperoni and anchovies. framtid ov9 AND they still had the signature salad bar…but it was empty…like an empty wishing well that you could throw coins into and hope that you were out of there as fast as possible. A culinary and architectural dinasaur we will all miss. Bring on another Burger King or some other pathetic fast-food mess. After all, it’s college land and who gives a crap what corporate American offers those kids who were raised on chicken nuggets and juice cups.
Last time I walked into a Pizza Hut (over twelve years ago, at the Hudson Valley location), I was picking up pizza for a relative I was visiting and they were not quite ready, so I ordered a beer while I waited. They told me they didn’t serve beer, which made my jaw drop, because framtid ov9 w
