Oh, so sad, but thanks for the tribute. This store was opened in the late 1980's to replace the franchise's original location in Austintown, which was tiny. The original was also the franchise's first, and my first job out of college. 10 years later, I opened this store as a supervisor, then sequed. I understand that move towards a delivery focused model, but it hurts to see them closed .. we had some mighty fine crews. Cheers.
Was at 5332 Mahoning Ave (right next to a Burger King) and was a combo Pizza Hut / Wing Street. When I moved there it was PH only, then updated. The other (takeout only) location is a few miles away on New Road (both locations in 44515).
My local Pizza Hut closed several months ago, and is now sitting abandoned. It's not just Pizza Hut though, I know where to find an abandoned Domino's in Marion, Iowa. Also, looking on Google Street View, the Pizza Hut in this video looks like it was just recently remodeled, because as of August 2019 it still had the old red roof with the "hut hump" on the top. So, they spent all that money renovating the restaurant, only to close it about a year later...
There is an abandoned Brusters, Denny's, Shop n Save, Sears Auto Center in Hermitage,Pennsylvania. There is also an abandoned Dollar General in Farrell, Pennsylvania. Sharon, Pennsylvania I believe also has an abandoned Gulf gas station. By the way, I enjoyed the video.
I work at the other Pizza Hut about a mile away. And sometimes at this one to fill in. This location wasn’t profitable for awhile. But they were stuck in the land lease. The lease ended 12/31/2020. Some of the workers came to our store. That shed is actually a freezer in disguise. We kept the dough in there. Columbiana store has dine-in.
Next time you’re out that way check out the austintown plaza. The old hills aka pat catans is still there and half the plaza is dead. Also wedgewood lanes . I’m playing catch up again lol. Hope you and Kayla are doing well
@@colelynch1760 we might have went too school together. Lynkirk elementary from 1980 to 1983 then Davis from 1983 to 1984 ,A.M.S from 1985 to 1986 then moved to lowellville
Wow, I live here! 5 mins from Austintown. My road is actually called "Austintown-Warren Road" and I'm just now today learning that this place is closed down!! I see it basically every single day n had no idea! I was literally just at the Burger King yesterday, too!!
You'd hate to be in Chattanooga where we have plenty of former Pizza Huts that have been converted to other stores, I'm sure Ringgold and Dalton, GA still have dine in
Damn it Wallie as if I wasn't craving pizza enough after your lasy couple of videos.... :) It's interesting that we are seeing a similar situation here in the UK. Pizza hut have 258 restaurants here but have permanently closed 29 last September and the others are operating in a Take-out only mode due to Covid restrictions who knows how many will reopen when the time comes. I'd echo the sentiments of others here about fond childhood memories of these it's a shame to see them go, gradually killed off by the Dominos and Papa Johns delivery only model.
I remember when Howard Hanna was in the Pizza Hut in Penn Hills. Then, one of those internet gambling places popped in... is internet gambling still big in Allegheny county or are they done?
The pizza hut in my town went out while ago for no reason or warning just up and left. I miss the pizza hut crust but will continue to support local pizzerias.
Pizza Hut here in New Castle Pa is still cranking out pies n wings..there was an article few months back as to why they were closing..most r indepently owned n operated while a handful r corporate owned..one is yes pandemic hurt dine in business therefore you have you have wing street express by pizza hut which is a double sided drive thru joint like some of the dunkins popping up..secondly corporate was stating lack of revenues across all fronts from parent company yum brands whom also owns rights to kfc taco bell n long john silvers
speaking of abandoned there is one here that closed just last year. it was going down hill big time sadly. bad management, people waiting around to long for service, peoples orders being canceled without the customers ok all kinds of things. so it closed last year sometime. first off their actual open hours didnt match what their open sign said and then they went to delivery only and then closed up permanently and gone. it was a sorta strange pizza hut since it wasnt a stand alone. it was next to a video rental store that went out and then the video rental store turned into a cafe and it still is that to this day. sad pizza hut is going in the wrong direction. right now i can show lots of places that are abandoned sorta but not totally. i know in seattle there are lots of places that are empty and boarded up and nothing has been done to them at all. the old ican grill closed up after business on my birthday of 2017 i think it was and i never got to enjoy the place before it was gone. lots of places i havent been able to enjoy before they were gone sadly.
Did you see the grease marks where the seats were and the people rubbed up against the wall 🤢 nasty. Well my luck is the same as yours never can win. Your sub David watching from Norco California. Stay safe😷
cool, since you're in PA, can you do the 2 Kmarts that are closing? And as far as your video of Belleville NJ, Honestly, they had to close it (or Kearney NJ). Not sure why they ever put two Kmarts that are practically walkable to each other. Very redundant and probably just taking business from one another.
I feel like it's only going to be more and more with all the covid closures no one can survive sad day will miss dine in pizza hut's we have only 2 here and probably be gone soon
@WallieB26 Do you know what they are building here? That would be a great follow up to your videos if you can find out if and when they are sold. Thanks
Awesome vids,, hey punch this in google maps, its an old TV store, also a block down the street is a closed down self car wash, and then a little more there is an old I.G.A. closed down. 40°55'22.7"N 81°00'39.9"W
Fun Fact : There is a Pizza Hut Anti-Wallie B26 Coalition Group, led by the people who keep giving you a thumbs down, whose only goal in life is to deny you any food at any of their locations.
Was really sad about this it was my favorite place to go with my mother as a kid n I worked there for 2 years I actually left a month before they shut down and everyone was transferred to different locations n the manager retired I miss them I still stay in touch with one of them but not often I tried getting ahold of another n didn’t get much of a response from them but yeah very sad they closed thow of course the only one left with a dinning room thanks to Covid we didn’t make enough buissness to stay open because the dinning room was closed due to Covid as you can see from the mask sign on the back door where we would park n take our deliveries out I was a cook I loved it there we were like family really helped eachother so I thought till we all seperated I’ll never forget all the memories I had there I loved that place another good place in austintown taken from us it’s sad I’ll never forget the memories us workers left behind there n I’m sad thinking of the history
no buffalo Chicken pizza at this Pizza hut sense it's permanently closed Man i was hopeing to get a large one with there Chocolate Chip Pizza desert which is good and i was hopeing for a 1 Liter bottle of Sprite Guess your going to Have to go to Canfield Ohio, or Youngstown Ohio for it.
My there is alot of pizza huts closing out it's not a good sign we lost a KFC in Port Hawksbury Nova Scotia the employees was not told till the final day it closed unreal way to treat people.

Recently caught onto your channel enjoy the content. I’m from Boardman Ohio. Always cool seeing local stuff. Go Pens!!!
This would be an excellent photo and video opportunity for me, thanks for sharing, Wallie.
The skits make it fun since you can't see much inside
I’ve eaten in this Pizza Hut before years ago when I lived in Austintown. Youngstown area is known for family owned authentic pizza shops.
There is an abandoned Brusters, Denny's, Shop n Save, Sears Auto Center in Hermitage,Pennsylvania. There is also an abandoned Dollar General in Farrell, Pennsylvania. Sharon, Pennsylvania I believe also has an abandoned Gulf gas station. By the way, I enjoyed the video.

That shed is actually a freezer in disguise. We kept the dough in there.
Columbiana store has dine-in.
I agree with you that it's not cool that Pizza Hut is closed. AUGH! Take care!
Crazy seeing you post local stuff!! Looks like you travel all over quite a bit!!
i love Pizza Hut thank you for another great abandoned Pizza Hut video
Too too funny, almost looks like the one next to our work. Don't worry I get hangry too lol. Thank you for sharing.
Next time you’re out that way check out the austintown plaza. The old hills aka pat catans is still there and half the plaza is dead. Also wedgewood lanes . I’m playing catch up again lol. Hope you and Kayla are doing well

@@colelynch1760 I do miss living there. I use to live on bainbridge and north roanoke. Good too hear from you again
I'm like 15 mins from that pizza hut so cool you flimed it
Wallie, really enjoyed your awesome abandoned Pizza Hut video! You need to come to Oklahoma and go to Madill because, their Pizza Hut closed.
Another Pizza Hut??!! So many abandoned. No breadsticks today. 🙁. We have an open one here in Lancaster, Ohio. Come on over!
Wow, I live here! 5 mins from Austintown. My road is actually called "Austintown-Warren Road" and I'm just now today learning that this place is closed down!! I see it basically every single day n had no idea! I was literally just at the Burger King yesterday, too!!
I didn't realize this one closed. I used to frequent this location when I lived in Ohio. Sad.
Jeez, Pizza Hut's done it again!
We have an abandoned pizza hut next to I Hop at the Very dead Oakwood mall in Enid Oaklahoma on Owen K & Oakwood Rd.
There’s an abandoned Pizza Hut a couple of towns away from me. There’s also an open one a town away.
Cool vid Wallie.That sucks to see it go tho.
I like the brickwork on this pizza hut location; sadly i don't think people are going to eat pizza at a sit down restaurant much anymore.
I'm surprised it closed loved going here
I love in Canfield OH, which is right next to Austintown..... might have to take a trip
Be well and happy.
The Pizza Hut in Frederick, md across from the Fredericktowne mall closed down back in December 2020
That's a strange one. The interior of it is very old school and it has the distinctive windows, but the roof is not like any Pizza Hut I've ever seen.
You'd hate to be in Chattanooga where we have plenty of former Pizza Huts that have been converted to other stores, I'm sure Ringgold and Dalton, GA still have dine in
Love your videos Wallie. It would be cool if you found a Pizza Hut that was open and filmed that.
Damn it Wallie as if I wasn't craving pizza enough after your lasy couple of videos.... :) It's interesting that we are seeing a similar situation here in the UK.

The Hermitage,Pennsylvania location is still currently opened.
So are the locations in Grove City and New Castle.
@@elizabethorsillo7187 There are multiple of locations in Youngstown, Ohio
Guess you have to buy a frozen pizza and eat at home so sad thanks for sharing
Good video! Are you ever going to find an open Pizza Hut? Sad to see them go away!
I remember when Howard Hanna was in the Pizza Hut in Penn Hills. Then, one of those internet gambling places popped in... is internet gambling still big in Allegheny county or are they done?
