Pizza Hut is to shut 68 of its restaurants after the company behind its UK venues fell into administration.
DC London Pie has not disclosed how many workers will be affected by the closures but it appointed administrators from FTI on Monday.
The appointment of administrators takes place less than a year after the business had saved the chain’s restaurants from insolvency.
On Monday, the US hospitality giant Yum! Brands, which owns the global Pizza Hut business, said it had bought the UK restaurant operation in a pre-pack administration deal. The deal will save 64 Pizza Hut sites and secure the future of 1,277 workers.

Our immediate priority is operational continuity at the acquired locations and supporting colleagues through the transition.”
