HISTORY OF PIZZA
About Pizza, Some will tell you Italy. That's wrong. What you know as pizza came into
vogue around the time of Napoleon and the French revolution. Italians, known to be
lovers of fine food and wines perfected and imported this terrific dish to America. From
here it quickly endeared itself to mass production and re-export to the rest of the world.
Bon appetite!
The word "pizza" may be a derivative of the Latin word "picea", a
Roman word used to describe the blackening of bread in an oven. The word "pizza", in
its current spelling, emerged sometime in the middle Ages. It was used to describe both
the sweet and salty pies that were becoming popular among Italian aristocracy. Pizza is
basically a meal prepared in a plate made of bread. There are four main components of
a basic pizza pie.They are crust, sauce, cheese and toppings.

MARKETING MIX
Marketing mix is the combination of 4 p’s.This combination and the best strategies
makes pizza hut a perfect brand in all over the world. These four p’s are:
1. PRODUCT
Pizza hut is to develop the best product with the resources available. Pizza Hut sells
pizzas in four different sizes: personal (an individual serving), small, medium and large,
though most stores have done away from with the small size. A variety of toppings are
available, plus "specialty" styles, including Meat Lovers, Pepperoni Lovers, Cheese
Lovers,Veggie Lovers, Double Cheeseburger, Supreme, Super Supreme and the newly
introduced Pizza Mia.Pan Pizza was launched nationally in 1980. More than twenty
years later, their customers love it so much that nearly every other pizza they sell is a
Pan Pizza. The pan pizza has a thicker crust than most other commercially available
pizzas. Therefore, their products have helped them to retain their customers and to
increase them .This encourages the customers to visit pizza hut rather than going
elsewhere. As pizza hut has to boost its sales in the existing markets, so the new food
products are introduced in all branches line-by–line because all branches are operated
in co-operation with one another. Different products for different regions are also
developed, as there are choice differences. Pizza hut offers a long list of products and
never afraid to offer new products like in Peshawar according to market they introduce
the very first "Chapli Kabab Pizza" which was very healthy product by Pizza hut in this
region. There are a lot many products according to different geographical places.
Besides the pizzas, Pizza Hut also serves pastas, starter, sandwiches, and deserts.

2. PRICE
The pricing strategy adopted by Pizza Hut is 'market skimming'. Pizza
Hut has adopted this pricing strategy, as it wants to hold maximum share of the market
by maximum profit. Pizza Hut is free to charge any price it wants. They are charging
higher prices due to the uniqueness of the product. They satisfy the target market as the
food quality is worth the price paid. They are imported from different countries keeping
in view the best quality. First, this pricing strategy will help segment the market.
Different groups of customers are willing to pay different prices for the same product.
The high/low pricing strategy will also create excitement. The pricing strategy adopted
by Pizza Hut is 'market skimming'. Pizza Hut has adopted this pricing strategy, as they
want to hold maximum share of the market by maximum profit.
As focusing on the pricing strategies, Pizza Hut has made some
product mix. According to the sizes of the pizzas, prices are made. They offer pizza
sizes such as personal pan, which is of 6 inches, regular of 9 inches, and then come the
large of 12 inches. Different pizzas have different prices according to their sizes. Pizza
Hut sets a high initial price for its products to send a signal to customers that its
products are quality and the service is excellent.
Pizza Hut also has MEAL DEALS. This scheme gives some discounts
of additions along with pizzas. In the meal you get starter, pizza and desert with
reasonable prices. In the MEAL DEALS, they offer time out, yuppie delight, extra time,
and family ties. These deals are made according to the satisfaction of the customer.

3. PLACE
Pizza hut has 34,000 outlets in 100 Countries. It refers to the best
place to offer program. That is the place where it is located and through what channels
are we distributing programs and the competitive advantage lies in distribution. In
Pakistan, Pizza Hut introduced itself in 1993, having 42 outlets in ten cities. Secondly,
the catchments area is of a specified minimum size and within a given drive time to the
site.
The direct channel is also useful when there are a large number of
buyers, but a small amount purchased by each. Pizza Hut Delivered Pizzato space in
Year 2001, which made them More Famous.
Pizza Hut uses three different methods of selling its products directly
to the market.
1. The first method of distribution used by Pizza Hut is Home. Office delivery.
Customers can call Pizza Hut ahead of time, place an order, and the order is delivered
to the customer's home.
2. Another method of distribution is for customers to dine-in. Customers can go to the
nearest Pizza Hut, place an order and either leave with the order or eat at the
restaurant. One of Pizza Hut's largest competitive advantages is its restaurant style
facility. Pizza Hut offers a clean place to sit down and enjoy the variety of pizzas,
salads, and sandwiches in a fun, family atmosphere.
3. The third method of distribution is to order Online. Selective County Customers can
now go on the Internet and place an order for Pizza. This method is useful because it
allows customers to view the entire menu, download any special coupons, and order
without having to disclose any credit card numbers.

Pizza Hut should focus on more advertisements, as in Pakistan, they are not making
advertisements. They should telecast their advertise more and on the right time when
their loyal customers and the target customers are watching the television. By this, they
are positioning their products in their customers’ minds. They should make an attractive
one in which they are differentiating their pizzas in quality, taste and tells that how
nutrition and healthy meals they are offering.
More advertisements of Pizza Hut is been watched by the customer then the variety
seeking buying behavior of the customer will also decrease. The customers will become
loyal to it.
They should make discounts cards or the membership cards for the loyal customers.
Those customers who mostly go once in a week or after two weeks.
They should reduce their price as compare to the competitors’ price and if not then
they should differentiate their product in their quality and taste. They should also tell
that they are using more toppings and cheese.
They must sponsor more concerts and games held in Pakistan, as they do not do. By
this, they will make a good reputation to towards their customers.
They should make stalls in the universities and colleges when there are some parties
held. In the stalls, they must offer pizzas in student discounted prices.
In order to move effectively into the rapidly progressing world of social responsibility, it
is time for business’ to expand their vision.
