Pizza Hut has been working on a company voluntary agreement (CVA) restructuring deal.
The chain needs to reduce its annual rent by £20million.
The Pizza Hut Restaurants group said it has put forward its proposals as “sales are not expected to fully bounce back until well into 2021” despite a safe reopening of restaurants.
It added the move will not affect operations or jobs at Pizza Hut Delivery or related franchises.
Pizza Express closures are also hitting the UK high street.
There are 454 Pizza Express restaurants in the UK. However, 73 are closing.
This equates to about 16 percent of UK eateries ran by the company.
The move is going to impact 1,100 members of staff.
