Pizza Hut Goes Crypto: Venezuela’s New Slice of Digital Currency

The Unconventional Topping: Cryptocurrency at Pizza Hut

In a groundbreaking move that could make both pizza lovers and cryptocurrency enthusiasts giddy, a popular pizza chain in the U.S. – Pizza Hut – has started accepting cryptocurrency payments in its Venezuelan stores. Yes, you read that right – your pepperoni pizza can now be paid for with Bitcoin! This delicious fusion of tech and cuisine is making waves in the South American nation.

What Sparked This Pizza Cryptocurrency Craze?

According to a tweet on November 27 from CryptoBuyer, the crypto payment service, this innovative payment option isn’t a gimmick–it’s the result of a partnership with Mega Soft aimed at boosting crypto transactions across Venezuela. With more than 20,000 businesses set to embrace these digital dollars, Pizza Hut is just following along on this tech-savvy trend.

Meet the Man Behind the Slice

Richard ElKhouri, the General Director for Pizza Hut in Venezuela, took a slice of time from his busy schedule to chat with local news outlet ElAxioma about this exciting development. He emphasized that Pizza Hut must evolve with the technological advances of today: “Pizza Hut nowadays cannot be detached from these technological advances and all those incorporating new approaches for daily necessities,” he noted. In other words, if you’re not paying with crypto, you’re obviously not cool enough for pizza.
