How To Fix Pizza Hut App Not Working

Hunger is something that drives me crazy and when my food is delayed, I go completely mad. It’s not the case with me only, many of those who are trying to order from Pizza Hut, but the app is not working or crashing say funny things over social media as “Also I heard I’ve seen it not work because “they ran out of ingredients” for the type of pizza or item that I wanted”, just check the sarcasm and whereas another one highly criticizes ”Lol how bout never order from a place that can’t even get the ordering right. They do not deserve the business, the app still does this all the time”. Another one frantically says “It’s mind-boggling to me that a huge international corporation can’t get online ordering to work.”

This might sound funny, but it’s really the frustration that many users pull out. Several large platforms like Pizza Hut, face many outages because of many issues. However, they keep on adopting many features to avoid such irritating problems, but things sometimes go out of hand. Such platforms take responsibility for such issues and inform their users about the same so that they can plan accordingly during the downtime. 

On the other side, there are mostly some problems on the user end too, which we are hardly aware of. Read this post to understand if it is the Pizza Hut app or the device you have been using or the internet connection, which is not allowing you to order your favorite Pizza and fill up your hunger. You are already hungry, and I understand this can’t be delayed, let’s quickly start.

1. Switch To Mobile Data From Wi-Fi Data

Yes, you must try this, most of the time a simple switch between connections always helps. Issues might arise when we are with some network for a long or if we change connections frequently, then online or internet operations get affected. Try switching from Mobile data to wi-fi and vice versa.

2. Disable Your Mobile’s VPN 

The VPN app has been designed to enable your phone to route your internet data via a third-party server. This functionality helps you to bypass any restrictions from your internet service provider. However, it has been reported in many cases that if we are facing any issues while using an internet-enabled app like Pizza Hut, then turning off the VPN on our device could avoid any such disruptions.

3. Give the Location Data Access To The Pizza Hut App

Food delivery apps like Pizza Hut always need to access your phone’s location to verify addresses for aptly serving the orders. In case you’ve disabled location access to the app, it might create hurdles in app functioning or specifically in order placement. Provide access to the Pizza Hut app for your location and check.

On Android

1. Go to settings and scroll down for app management.
2. Tap and hold on to the Pizza Hut app icon, and select app info.
3. Select permissions on the page followed.
4. Select Location.
5. Enable the Allow only while using the app option.

On iPhone

1. Tap settings on your iPhone.
2. Select Privacy > Location Services in settings.
3. Choose Pizza Hut from the list.
4. Select While using the App.

4. Remove and Reinstall

This troubleshooting I try mostly, which helps clear many glitches or backlogs. Quickly uninstalling and reinstalling the Pizza Hut app in your phone would also enable you to access the most recent and updated version and also remove any core-file-related issues causing the problem.

5. Clearing Cache

Check for the app cache and try removing them. Caches are nothing but short packets of data that apps like Pizza Hut download on your phone to work otherwise they don’t need any space for their functioning. Clearing space for new memory packets or cache could normalize the app’s functioning.

6. Upgrading The App/OS

The app you are trying to access must be updated to the recent available versions. Check for any pending updates in the settings. If you are using an Android phone then update the app in the Play Store and if you are using an iPhone then check for updates in the App Store.

Another important step is to check when was the last time you updated your phone and check for any pending operating system updates. On an Android device, go to Settings > About phone and then tap check for updates and install if any are pending. On an iPhone, go to Settings > General > Software Update and then tap install any updates available.

7. Restarting Your Phone

Restarting devices like tablets/phones fixes temporary glitches with them. Try doing this and check if it restored the Pizza Hut app functioning. Any incomplete or corrupt background services can prevent the app from running and the app may crash, not open, freeze, or the sign-in process won’t be completed. 

8. Contact Pizza Hut Customer Support

If you are still not able to get rid of the issue and if the Pizza Hut app is not functioning as desired, then there are chances, it must be something from the Pizza Hut end. Try contacting them explain your issue briefly and seek help.

Conclusion

What I do in such cases is that I always note down the type of error and which particular troubleshooting helped me to get rid of the same. This practice helps me to apply that only troubleshoot when the issue occurs. Pizza Hut is one of the biggest Pizza chains globally, an outage of a few minutes could cause them an unthinkable amount and moreover, the loss of trust and degradation in customer experience is something they can’t afford.
