Soviets Close Pizza Hut: A dispute over jurisdiction between the Kievsky regional council and the Moscow city council has resulted in the closure of one of the two Pizza Hut restaurants that opened with great fanfare 10 days ago, a restaurant official said. “We apologize to our customers for the temporary closure by the Soviet authorities of our restaurant,” said a sign posted on the door of the flagship Moscow Pizza Hut on Kutuzovsky Prospect, about a mile from the Kremlin. Andrew Rafalat, deputy general director of the joint venture running the Soviet Pizza Huts, said he could not disclose the specific reason for the shutdown.
