This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Elon chapter.

Pizza Hut never lets us down on those late night pizza cravings, drunk munchies, and lazy food delivery nights. Their wide variety of food options ranges from delicious pizza, pasta, sandwiches, wings, and more. Everyone enjoys this popular chain restaurant, so we thought it would be beneficial if we compiled a list of Pizza Hut’s greatest and least calorie options in every category. Reminder that each of these calorie counts are based off of Pizza Hut’s Nutrition Guide.
