Pizza Hut closes chain-wide on Christmas Day, but Thanksgiving hours vary store to store since most Pizza Hut locations are independently owned franchises.
Why Pizza Hut's Thanksgiving Hours Aren't the Same Everywhere
Most Pizza Hut restaurants are run by independent franchisees rather than the corporate parent, so each location sets its own Thanksgiving policy. Some close entirely to give staff the day off; others stay open for delivery and carryout. Christmas Day is the one holiday where Pizza Hut is consistent: it's a full chain-wide closure, with Christmas Eve running shortened hours instead.

Because most Pizza Hut locations are independently owned franchises, Thanksgiving hours especially can differ a lot from store to store. Check your specific location or the Pizza Hut app before counting on a Thanksgiving order.
