Pizza Hut is not halal in the United States. Its pepperoni and sausage are pork, its meats are not halal-certified, and the same cutter and prep surfaces handle pork and non-pork pizzas — so cross-contact is built in. A cheese or vegetable pizza avoids the meat itself, but shared equipment remains. Pizza Hut has halal-certified branches in the UK, not the US.

The short version
Pizza Hut US uses pork pepperoni and sausage, no halal certification, and a shared pizza cutter and prep line. So it is not halal.
Why it isn't halal
The pepperoni and sausage are pork, and the other meats are conventionally sourced, not zabiha. A well-known issue with pizza chains is the cutter: the same blade that slices a pepperoni pizza slices the next order, transferring pork residue onto non-pork pizzas.
The vegetarian route
A cheese or vegetable pizza contains no meat, but it is cut and prepped with the same equipment, so strict eaters should weigh cross-contact — or choose a local halal-certified pizzeria.
Abroad
Pizza Hut runs halal-certified branches in the UK. That does not apply to US stores.
