Pizza Hut Will Now Deliver Beer To Ohioans

Pizza Hut is expanding its beer delivery services, and will now bring beer to Ohioans. The company said it wanted to roll the program out in the Buckeye State before the upcoming Super Bowl.

The pizza chain launched its beer delivery pilot program in December 2017, in Arizona. Five months later, in 2018, it expanded the service to California. Now the company is launching beer deliveries in seven different states, including Ohio.

“Our expanded beer delivery program and Super Bowl weekend creates a great level of excitement across our participating franchise partners and team members,” said Nicolas Burquier, chief customer and operations officer, Pizza Hut. “Beer delivery is a game-changing lever that we’ll continue to pull in order to deliver oven-hot pizzas with ice-cold beer to customers watching and celebrating their favorite teams.”

Beer orders must meet minimum delivery requirements, and orders must be made online or through the company app. Delivery fees will apply, the company said.

The beer delivery expansion will impact Ohio, Florida, Iowa, Nebraska, North Carolina, and parts of Arizona and California. Pizza Hut said it wants to expand beer delivery services to 1,000 restaurants by summer 2019.

“As the official pizza sponsor of the NFL, we’ve been celebrating football fans all season long, so it only makes sense for us to bring more customers the beloved combo of pizza and beer ahead of the Super Bowl,” said Marianne Radley, chief brand officer, Pizza Hut. “We are proud to be pioneers of beer delivery and are well-poised to take on more markets in the coming year.”
