Pizza Hut' Topples World Record Number Of Dominoes To Celebrate Introduction Of New Hut Rewards Program

Pizza Hut, which serves and delivers more pizza than any other pizza company in the world, set a world-record by capsizing the most dominoes in the shape of a pizza. The record-setting dominoes build took more than two days to construct, and roughly five minutes to fully topple. The design included creative elements to highlight the benefits of Hut Rewards such as two points for every $1 spent online and earning free pizza fast. The pattern also showcased several illustrations of pizza, plus catapults, domino "walls" and 250 pizza boxes to complete the layout. Master domino builder, Lily Hevesh, was the lead designer and architect on the project with a team of 13 other master domino builders.

In celebration of the feat, Pizza Hut is challenging Hut Rewards members to submit guesses via email at HutRewards@PizzaHut.com with the number of dominoes knocked down for the opportunity to win free Pizza Hut pizza for life. Entrants must be Hut Rewards members to be eligible to win. The video of the dominoes toppling is available to watch on Pizza Hut's Facebook page and YouTube channel.

"Just like Hut Rewards offers points for every dollar spent online, every domino knocked down counts toward the world record," said Zipporah Allen, Vice President of Marketing, Pizza Hut, U.S. "Setting a world record was rewarding, but offering Hut Rewards members unlimited points toward free pizza and a shot at free pizza for life, is even more rewarding."

To win free Pizza Hut pizza for life, fans can submit their guesses for how many dominoes were toppled to HutRewards@PizzaHut.com. Guesses must be submitted between Thursday, Aug. 24 at 6 a.m. CT and Thursday, Aug. 31 at 11:59 p.m. CT. The first person to guess correctly will be awarded free pizza for life in the form of 312,000 points deposited into their Hut Rewards account which is good for one pizza, every other week for 60 years.
