A Glasgow Pizza Hut is among 29 restaurants expected to close across the UK. 

Pizza Hut announced the major restructuring could lead to the loss of 450 jobs after sales failed to recover from the pandemic. 

The unit in Great Western Retail Park in Glasgow is to shut permanently. 

The fast-food chain has locations across city centre Glasgow, as well as restaurants in The Forge Retail Park, and Pollokshaws Road. 

It comes days after rival Pizza Express approved the closure of 73 of its own sites, hitting 1,100 workers.

A spokeswoman for the chain said: “We are doing everything we can to redeploy our team members from our Pizza Hut Restaurants locations that are closing and minimise the impact to our workforce.

“We are therefore unable to share exact job loss numbers for each Hut.

“We understand this is a difficult time for everyone involved and are supporting our team members as much as possible throughout this transition.”

The measures aim to protect about 5,000 jobs across its remaining restaurants as well as the “longevity” of the business, it said.

Other restaurants earmarked for closure include the Cumbernauld branch.
