Pizza Hut has returned to the Toledo area – this time with a sleek new carry-out – delivery service.

Manager Nate Arends has been assistant manager at the Marshalltown Pizza Hut for the past four years. “I’m looking to bring the same popular service to people here,” he said.

An all-new kitchen, preparation and storage area has been combined in the location at 209 Business Highway 30 West in Toledo. The remodeling process took two months, Arends said. The location has formerly housed Subway and Sub City restaurants.

Offered are Pizza Hut’s well-known variety of pizzas, pasta and wings.

Arends says the Wingstreet wings, which are fried and come with a choice of eight sauces prove to be a favorite of customers.

Tuscani Creamy Chicken Alfredo and Tuscani Meaty Marinara sauces are the toppings for pasta entries.

A total of 14 employees have been hired according to Arends.

Pizza Hut carry-out and delivery hours are Sunday-Thursday 11 a.m.- 11 p.m.. On Friday and Saturday the hours are 11 a.m.-midnight.

Orders may be placed by calling 641-484-6116, at Pizzahut.com or by ordering at the location service counter.

The Pizza Hut in Toledo is owned by Mpc International, an operator of food establishments.
