There is something strangely comforting in seeing an old pizza building, even if you don’t need more personal pizzas. I have memories as a child who goes to the pizza huts restaurants to have dinner with the family.
Slice of lifeA new documentary from the Brooklyn filmmakers Matthew Salleh AND Rose tuckerHe takes that strange nostalgia and transforms it into something surprisingly significant.
They crossed the village visiting the former buildings for pizza Hut now reborn as a karaoke bar in Texas, a cannabis dispensary in the rural areas of Colorado and an LGBTQ+ church in Florida,
These places, once symbols of the charm of the American chain of the middle of the century, now reflect the evolving communities that inhabit them. As the filmmakers said: “A contemporary portrait of America, observed inside the walls of the former buildings of Pizza Hut throughout the country”.
Slice of life It also traces a line for the humble beginnings of the brand, intertwining in the history of the Carney brothers, who launched Pizza Hut in Wichita, in Kansas, in 1958.
The film intelligently positions these positions transformed as mirrors of modern America, every new use of layers of memories of infantile birthday parties, jukebox songs and infinite breadsticks. “These nostalgic spaces keep memories of a past era”, explain the filmmakers, “but through the power of transformation, they provide something new and special for the communities that continue to flow through them”.
It is an unexpectedly sincere reminder that even the most ordinary buildings can live a second extraordinary life.
