What was the actual date on this? I assume it was wayyyy before 2014 haha.

Imagine telling them back then that someone could fill out all the details on the website, choose their pizza and customise toppings AND have it delivered by a robot.

They'd think you were high!

I remember it like that in 1994. I checked some old chat logs, and sure enough, it was “unchanged for 3 years” in 1997.

I got a 403 forbidden message, but archive.org works. * https://web.archive.org/web/20140123215657/https://www.pizza... > PizzaNet is Pizza Hut's Electronic Storefront and is brought to you by Pizza Hut® and The Santa Cruz Operation® What, the original SCO, THE Unix company, built the website for Pizza Hut? The original SCO dissolved in 2001, so it must be earlier?

Based on the fact that the site is monochrome and about 8KB, I'm going to guess early 90s. It's funny, the favico (modern asset loaded from the root of the domain automatically) outweighs the entire page by a factor of 4.

There is no favico for this site here.

Edit: weirdly, it loads one now.

This is not strictly Pizza Hut's first website.

Pizza Hut's first website was built in 1994 [1]. This webpage has Javascript (1995) [2] running Google Tag Manager (2012) [3]. The article about Pizza Hut's first website [1] provides more context than just the webpage.
