Visit One Of These Classic Pizza Hut Restaurants in Iowa [VIDEO]

If you grew up during the 70s and 80s, one of the best memories of eating out at a restaurant you probably have is a trip to Pizza Hut. We didn't have one in Anamosa where I grew up, so a trip to one when we were in Cedar Rapids or Marion, or somewhere out on the road was a treat. And who doesn't remember that classic interior? The red cups, the Tiffany-style lamps, and of course, the buffet! And the pizza was great too! If you're looking for a bit of nostalgia you'll be happy to know that some 'classic' Pizza Hut locations still exist, including here in Iowa!

So what makes a 'Classic' Pizza Hut different? According to the Retrologist, retro-themed restaurants include the following.

• The old Pizza Hut logo is used in all signage and the addition of the word 'Classic'.
• The interior features those old cozy red booths and the classic Tiffany lamps.
• Stickers featuring the old Pizza Hut character Pizza Hut Pete can be found on the door.
• Posters featuring images of Pizza Hut from days past.

The Retrologist says that most of these 'classic' locations appear to be in smaller markets where legacy restaurant locations have a better shot at surviving. Below is a video of the inside of a 'Classic' Pizza Hut location in Louisburg, North Carolina.
