Pizza Hut is not halal in the United States. Its pepperoni and sausage are made from pork, and its meats are not halal-certified. The same pizza cutter and preparation surfaces are used for pizzas with and without pork, so contact with pork is part of the process. A cheese or vegetable pizza avoids the meat itself, but the equipment is still shared. Pizza Hut has halal-certified restaurants in the UK, but not in the United States.

The short answer
Pizza Hut in the United States uses pork pepperoni and sausage, has no halal certification, and uses shared pizza cutters and preparation areas. So it is not halal.
Why isn't Pizza Hut halal in the United States?
The pepperoni and sausage are made from pork. The other meats come from ordinary suppliers and are not slaughtered the zabiha way.
There is also a well-known problem at pizza chains: the pizza cutter. The same blade that slices a pepperoni pizza is used to slice the next order. That can carry traces of pork onto pizzas that have no pork.
Can a Muslim eat a cheese pizza at Pizza Hut?
A cheese or vegetable pizza contains no meat. However, it is cut and prepared with the same equipment as the pork pizzas. Strict eaters should think about that contact, or choose a local pizzeria that is halal-certified.
Is Pizza Hut halal in other countries?
Yes, in the UK. Pizza Hut runs halal-certified restaurants in the UK. That does not apply to US stores.
