If you grew up in the good old days when Pizza Hut restaurants came equipped with red cups, Tiffany lamps, and checkered tablecloths, this one’s for you. Right now, more than ever, Americans crave nostalgia and the days when life was carefree and happy.

For many people, one of the fondest memories of their youth is going out to dinner with family. Pizza Hut understands, and they’re leaning into the retro trend with more than 150 restaurants across the country.

In a news release, Pizza Hut shared a list of 155 locations ready to serve up Pizza Hut favorites under the familiar red roof. The response has been nothing short of heartwarming.

“Families are traveling from neighboring towns and sometimes neighboring states, to experience the retro-inspired restaurants firsthand. For many guests, the experience goes beyond pizza. It’s about reconnecting with memories of gathering around the red checkered tablecloth covered table with friends and family,” the release explains.

In addition to classic Pizza Hut restaurants, kids can also participate in the BookIt! Summer reading program. What more could a kid, or parent, want?
