Let's start with Pizza Hut. Pizza Hut was founded on June 15, 1958 by the brothers Dan Carney and Frank Carney. When the two brothers were in college, they bought an un-rented building. They decided to open a beer and pizza restaurant. At the beginning of Pizza Hut, they didn’t have an exact recipe, and the Carney brother’s recipe was “a handful of this, and a handful of that”. The old building reminded Carney of a hut, so they ended up calling the pizza place, ‘Pizza Hut’.
Dominos was founded in 1960 on December 6. The founder Tom Monaghan and James Monaghan loved pizza so much that they opened dominos. At first it seemed like the big idea was a total waste of time, but out of nowhere Tom invented the idea of “Free Delivery” and back then that was the best! This brought in a lot of customers and made the pizza place ‘Dominos’ more popular.
