"Pizza is still king," Kozar said. "But there is no bar, live music or video games. The beer would just be a compliment to the food. It makes for a more consistent product and beer is sold throughout Pizza Huts nationally."
Kozar said the business is open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday. It seats 70 people.
