From Times Staff and Wire Reports
Pizza Hut Goes to Moscow: The Pepsico Inc.-owned chain’s first two Soviet restaurants open today in the capital. After three years of negotiations and seven months of construction, 300 young workers are ready to serve up American-style pizza, garlic bread, salad and apple pies for both dollars and rubles. The opening comes one day after Pizza Hut’s first restaurant opened in Beijing. The Beijing restaurant served 200 pizzas to an invitation-only crowd of Chinese and foreigners before running out of dough.
