While they like to claim that "Nobody out-pizzas the Hut," modern day Pizza Hut is most definitely out-pizza'd by chains like Dominos, Papa Johns, and even Little Caesars. But that wasn't always the case.

Back in the 1970s, Pizza Hut was the place to be, and was the sit-down restaurant of choice for everyone from families to first dates.

With its unmistakable and timeless aesthetic, here are 20 photos of what Pizza Hut looked like in the 1970s.
