Pizza Hut, 1467 Sumter Street: May 2023 5 comments
I ate at this Pizza Hut several times over the years while hanging around Baptist Hospital for various reasons. Like the books you read in a hospital waiting room, meals you eat in a hospital context are never really that good, but I suppose it was a standard Pizza Hut, well enough executed.
The move to the old Church's Chicken location should give them some parking, and some traffic from the development that is replacing the old Gonzales Gardens. Curiously, they will still be near a hospital as well. The long period between closing this location and opening that one does seem kind of odd though.

Yes, there was a Pizza Hut across from The Towers.
It was a freestanding building, and had the distinction of being the coldest Pizza Hut in the world. I believe this had to have been intentional, to keep the tables turning over and stop students from lounging in the booths with their drink refills and homework.
My memory is that going from The Big Bird south there was a Seven Eleven, The Pizza Hut, some sort of semi-industrial food-service building and on the corner where the apartments and The Corner Blend are now was a mini-mall, now razed with Robo's and a hole-in-the-wall called, I believe, Pappy's with homefries.

Ted, you are pretty much dead-on. There was a 7-11 there, as well as Brantley Meats. I don't know what was on the corner of Main and Blossom many years before, but the last occupant before the building was razed was the Addams Bookstore, which sold textbooks for USC classes.

I believ the Addams Bookstore was either in the same mini-mall building, repurposed to take all the space, or in a new building at the same spot. Whatever, it would have been torn down to build the Adesso building.

Yes, Ted, that sounds about right.

I was just thinking about how there used to be a Pizza Hut on South Main, I wonder if they moved into this location after leaving. I think it was around where the Moe's is now. I never made it to this location, which is a bummer since they were one of the few that still had a buffet.
