Remember When a House Stood Where Pizza Hut is in Nacogdoches?
Once upon a time, Nacogdoches had three Pizza Huts - one on North Street, one on South Street, and one on University Drive. The one on University Drive is still there in its original location. The one on North Street closed and was torn down. The one on South Street moved less than a mile north, still on South Street. Do you know what was there before the Pizza Hut moved there? Let's take a look back.
Pizza Hut Used to Be a House...Literally
Before they moved, Pizza Hut was located at 2512 South Street in Nacogdoches. It wasn't a full restaurant with tables and booths. It was really just for carryout and delivery orders, just like the location on University Drive is.
In 2018, a new Pizza Hut was built at 1632 South Street just across from the Fredonia Hill Baptist Church. Up until that point, that location was a house. Take a look:
In 2018, trees were cleared, that house was demolished, and the new Pizza Hut took its place. This is what it looks like now:
It's hard to believe that's even in the same spot. That is now a full-fledged Pizza Hut, with tables, booths, fountain drinks, a buffet...ALL OF THE THINGS, in addition to the delivery, carryout and drive-thru features.
