Pizza Hut opens new location in Rockville

Great news for fans of Pizza Hut in Rockville: A new Pizza Hut location has opened at 842-B Rockville Pike. Their hours are 10:00 AM to 11:00 PM Sundays-Thursdays, and 10:00 AM to Midnight on Fridays and Saturdays. While I'd still like to see the return of the full-service Pizza Hut restaurants, complete with red tumblers, vintage Tiffany Pizza Hut lamps, tabletop arcade games and jukeboxes, Pizza Hut still has the best pizza and breadsticks.
