History always repeats itself. I bet one day I'll be a grandpa picking up a pizza from pizza hut in a bag for my grandchildren.
LOL fast motion is always fun,great commercial!
Pizza hut sure has changed from what it used to be. It looked like the pizza was wrapped in paper rather than in a box. Working for pizza hut now, I am slightly more proud of the establishment :)
This is my Dad. He worked for KAKE in Wichita. Thanks to everyone who liked it. To anyone who made some stupid negative comment about the commercial...Not cool. It was over 50 years ago. Times were very different.
Hey -- do you have a picture of that bag>> I thought it was a great commercial! I would love to see what the bag looked like - if there was a photo of the shoot?
Who was your dad?
damn thats old school..
i showed my grandpa this and he said he remembers it..
LakersNation 47 Did your grandpa was kid on 1960s
The pizzas and cars back then look better than the pizzas and cars today
Love this commercial
That was a great ad thanks for posting!
I love this commercial, but it has the creepiest vibes I've ever felt from watching something (including any horror movies)
BEAUTIFUL! This is the way Pizza Hut is supposed to look! Not like those stupid ugly new wing street buildings they've started making. Great commercial!
I wonder if in the pizza hut musuem they got his mustang jr
LOL,wow that sure is vintage,and funny to watch. Thanks for placing that up.
What a funny moment, "Putt Putt to the Pizza Hut" was the first national television commercial for Pizza Hut in 1965. It features with red 1965 Mustang JR gas powered promotional car is made by the Powercar Company of Mystic CT. These were made with the cooperation of the Ford Motor Company for use in dealer promotions and other uses.

Wow! I want one of those Mustangs! No recharging either because it runs on gas! Cool! Nothing like 1960's commercials. A simpler, better time. I had little and was happy, not like the spoiled brats of today. Great post!
Ya.. I am thinking the pizza BAG is a fairly brilliant concept.. I wouldn't doubt seeing it come back in the future... square boxes are a bot of overkill for a round pizza.
Totally awesome!
Happy 50th Anniversary Pizza Hut 1965-2015
you're wrong pizza hut was founded in 1959
Pizza Hut was founded in 1958 in Wichita Kansas. The little original building now sits on the campus of WSU near the business school. It was moved there to remind the students to dream big.
Did Pizza Hut always have a chef mascot?
paige remember year 83 44 95
I love this! I had never seen it. Yes, Kiddies, Pizza Hut has been around since 'the dark ages', the 1960's...
I would look SO fly in that car! LOL.
What a classic TV ad? haha gotta love it
best little car ever made!
My reference to Google Earth was for the Avalon house address mentioned earlier in this thread.
As for Rock / Kellogg, the satellite view shows an iconic bright red roof about 100m North of Kellogg on the West side of Rock - but going to street view shows a recent tear-down lot, possibly necessitated by an expansion on the width of Rock (observation on 6/9/09)
one hell of a funny and extraordinary commercial
i love it
Wasn't there an "Easy Bake" Pizza Hut oven that made mini pizzas? I vaguely remember seeing that with the oven in the shape of the Pizza Hut restaurant...It came out in the mid 70's
Pizza wrapped with paper, gotta like that!
Good commercial!
Yes back then they came in a bag and there was no delivery. the concept of take it home was somewhat new
was pizza hut good in the 60s i love the 60s/70s logo and love the way the resturant looks and the 80s/90s logo is cool to
Yes, it is located in East Wichita Kansas at 5824 Avalon, which is 1 block South of Central Avenue and East of Edgemoor. The current owners of the house are familiar with the place in history their place holds.
Back in 1965 when the commercial was filmed you could buy them from the Powercar Company of Mystic CT or get them through your local Ford dealer. To find one now you have to be very lucky and find an original or very talented and build one from the available parts that are made for restoration or recreation
Why cant the world still be like this?
I agree with whataburgerfan1 about Pizza Hut. I had a pizza from Pizza Hut about 2 weeks ago and it was not like it used to be. It only looked like Pizza. I would only go to a privately owned pizza place to get "ok" pizza nowadays.
like how they rip open that package and grab that pizza like a bunch of brain eating zombies lol
Just like the way kids today rip open junk food like little brain eating zombies.
Cool commercial, it reminds me of a skit from Benny Hill.
I want one of these cars :(
Man, the 1960s must've been great!
I like the Keystone Cops aspect of this ad. The comic car, fat bully, and innocent man getting his foot run over and joining the chase, was great. Getting a pizza in a paper bag was interesting. Picking up a pizza "to go" must have been a treat in 1965. I'm sure it beat those frozen cheese and cardboard man hole covers by a mile!
I think they should bring the tear open bags back. It would be cool to tear into the package if you were really hungry....
Great Commercial
My left ear thoroughly enjoyed this.
What a trip!!!!!!!!!!!
i love 50s and 60s
My goodness! Now I'm hungry...I LOVE PIZZA!!!!
What's even more scary is there are still some Pizza Huts that still occupy the same style buildings as shown at 0:38.
Omly with the red paint jobs they got in the 70's.
Why is that scary? It just means they weren't wasting money on needless renovation.
@desgranador Haha, they're actually saying "Putt putt to the Pizza Hut! Putt putt." A putt putt is a small motorized vehicle, like that one the guy was driving.
Wow that's a giant car.. Must guzzle gas
I forgot about Pizza Hut icon shown at the end. Thanks for posting.
Reminds me of a Benny Hill chase scene.
5824 Avalon St, Wichita KS
mrk603 How the hell did you know the address of the house in this commercial???!!! I just Google mapped it!
mrk603 I knew. Because I live in Kansas.
upload the change
I love Pizza Hut
Watching this reminds me of those hilarious Benny Hill chase scenes- just play "Yakkety Sax", and it'd be perfect.
dude if RUclips was around in 1966 this would have gone viral
Pizza Hut started in 1958, this was done in 1965! They had expanded out by then!
Thanks for sharing! How did they expand so fast? Was there a big boom after this commercial or already before?
spoiled? holy crap, thats an understatement!
Fact: The guy in a suit who ordered pizza and drove his car is Ron Williams.
Was he famous back then?
And already before the commercial?
I know 3 years late but is he popular back then because I searched him
I think I found it on Google Maps using the Streetview feature. There is a black truck parked in front of it. Dodge maybe.
Okay, that music creeped me out a little.
Today's music creeps a lot of people out.
I like all the old classic cars on it
One slice each? I always order a XLarge just for myself, while my family sits in the corner of the kitchen waiting for the scraps of crust I leave behind. You should see them fight over the crusts, it's a calamity. XD
wow I can't believe this. This commercial was made 55 years ago.
@Tubernaut This town is a part of us all. A part of us all. A part of us all.
Google "Background on the Pizza Hut commercial" and there is a bunch of information available about the makers of the commercial
@Ice Alpha Well, the film may have faded a little, but then it was put on VHS (hell, maybe even Betamax), then probably copied to another tape, wait 20-30 years, then that tape was converted to digital, then uploaded in a compressed format. So chances are, the original film most likely looks a hell of a lot better than the youtube video.
Are you referring to tv shows or the physical televisions themselves?
The case with those early films was a combination of different things. 1: The optics on early cameras was quite primitive. They just were not capable of very sharp focus. 2. The film stock sucked. The grain was coarse (early on) and was made of highly unstable cellulose nitrate. If not stored correctly (which 90% of the time it wasn't), it would either deteriorate into dust, or would start a fire that cannot be stopped (the stuff burns under water, it's so volatile). 3. Early cameras were hand cranked, hence the not so smooth movement.
Most movies of that period no longer exist. Only 10-15% of the films produced in the silent era (1880s-1920s) still exist, and only 50% of the films from the beginning to the present day still exist. Nitrate film is a highly volatile material. It will either start leeching off gases that will ruin the other films beside it, but will also spontaneously com-bust into a blaze that cannot be stopped until it burns itself out.
In the case of the Alice in Wonderland movie, the rest of the film has either turned to fire or to dust. It's fortunate that this excerpt exists at all.
BTW, Check out the fully restored version of "Metropolis" from 1927, perhaps the first real sci-fi movie. Most of its scenes have been found and restored through an extensive and exhaustive global search for all the missing elements.
Actually it was Bob Walterscheid. search the internet for pizza hut commercial background and you will find a lot more information on this commercial from him on the jrcentral forums
Good times!
It's 2018 not 2007
@Zoras88 not since the 70s but a lot of the parts are still available to recreate one including the bodies and frames
Very cool commercial.
Thanks for sharing it.
George Vreeland Hill
Sure, but you can't stack 'em. People probably spent a lot of time back then retrieving their cheese from the inside of the bag.
You'll have to build one, but reproduction frames, bodies, and all parts are available. It's gonna cost you roughly $1,200 to make a new one.
hi jrcentral your in 2007 good job
mmmmmm... pizza. im eating pizza hut right now =D
im watching food network and they showed this.
im so hungry now, it isnt fair! it is frikn 3 am, i cant eat this late....
XOOX
I believe that the commercial was shot in Wichita KS the home base for Pizza hut at the time. Some have identified the main drag where the Pizza Hut was but I do not believe that the street with the house has been determined.
That's when the pizza was good sad now
Life in Texas (where I presume this was filmed) in 1965 was so much happier than life in NYC, Philadelphia, Chicago, Detroit etc. Texas didn't have any of the race riots or spike in crime. MAYBE parts of Houston did.
old school tv FTW
They came in bags? Pizza in bags? Truly we have come far
Ah classic
The house at the beginning and end of the commercial is located at 5824 Avalon, which is 1 block South of Central Avenue and East of Edgemoor. The current owners of the house are familiar with the place in history their place holds. Check out how much the trees in the front yard have grown on Google earth
putt putt! to the pizza huuut! putt putt! to the pizza huuut!
Finally, someone has a cool way to overcome high gas prices.
I Love this Video
Amazing all the "Pizza in a bag?!" comments. Yes, kids, not everything has always been as you know it now.
What's wrong with people not understanding something they never saw? Damn, people like you are so fucking tight about shit like this...
HAHAHA IAN
Ian V. Raybeck It can get annoying sometimes when young people think that things have always been the way they are used to.
Especially with stuff that was way better in the past because the young people never saw how much better those things used to be and dont believe you because they never saw it.
He lured a lot of bad people
damn! still works! just ordered pizza hut...
They used to give them out at your local Pizza Hut back in the 60s.
Your best bet now is try eBay for this sort of thing.
FUN FACT: Pizza Hut Was First Founded In 1965.
so pizzaz were given to you back then over paper bags and not boxes?!? =o
weird!
If you had that Mustang, you could save tons of money from filling up at gas stations. lol
Wow 50's commercials were something
Someone was trying to say that the BTK killer was 1-block away from where this was filmed and may have been an extra in the commercial. He was not!
I don't run the powercar thread at the VMF but I am a major contributor. I have asked for footage of the Animal powered JR doing burn outs and wheelies but have not gotten any yet.
Pizzas tasted a lot better back then, too. A lot of food tasted better and we didn't have the obesity problems like we have today.
Norman McLaren directed the first Pizza Hut commericals!
@xLITETROOPER It was done that way so you could just tar in to it and they thout opening a box was boring was it was a rip open bag.
happy anneversery Mustang 1965-2015
OMG!
Google Street View will take you right to it.
Check out that 44 years have done to that little tree!
Yes actually, a man makes the fiberglass bodies AND the frames again! Google Powercar Mustang Jr and you'll find him.
He was going to college in Salina KS at Kansas Wesleyan University 90 miles away at the time the commercial was shot and would have been 20 at the time. When he was killing people he lived at 6220 N Independence St 10.53 miles from this location slightly more than 1 block away.
Buzz buzz to the Pizza Hut indeed buzz buzz 🤣
what is the name of that tall men in this commercial
