Two Pizza Hut operators in California are eliminating their in-house delivery services at hundreds of stores, resulting in more than 1,200 driver layoffs, according to federal employment notices reviewed by Business Insider.
The layoffs, effective throughout February, affect Pizza Hut delivery drivers across California, including at Sacramento, Palm Springs, and Los Angeles locations.

Don’t get me started on the guy who bakes your bread. We all know what he’s like.
There is a pizza place about three miles from me. It is a family that moved down here from Brooklyn NY. Great food.
They don’t do delivery. Best pizza around here.
Maybe so. I'll take 3-in-One oil over spit any day.
What’s the min wage for the laid off drivers? Not directed at you but the idiots that created the law.
Delivery people get to know us as the great tippers. We get treated just fine.
The state should not be able to mandate wages.
