Virginia has five "Pizza Hut Classic" locations, per "retrologist" Rolando Pujol.
Why it matters: The retro-themed restaurants have everything you remember from the Pizza Huts of the '80s and '90s: red checkerboard tablecloths, branded hanging lamps, original menus — and there are only about 80 left nationwide.
Fun fact: Pizza Hut parent Yum Brands doesn't promote them or acknowledge their existence, even though they've recently surged in popularity due to people craving the nostalgia of it all.
Zoom in: According to Pujol's list, and an Axios review, the closest one to Richmond is about an hour drive to Louisa.
They're also in:
- Kilmarnock (1.5 hours away)
- Appomattox outside of Lynchburg (about 2 hours).
- Onley on the Eastern Shore (3 hours).
- Hillsville in Southwest Virginia (4 hours).
