Pizza Hut Delivers By Kayak In Hurricane Zone

(RTTNews) - A local Pizza Hut franchise was not deterred by the heavy rain and flooding in Texas caused by Hurricane Harvey. Instead, it decided to deliver free pizzas to families trapped in their homes due to the floodwaters.

Shayda Habib, the manager of Pizza Hut in Oak Lake, and her employees rushed to their restaurant on Wednesday to prepare dozens of pies for the families that were trapped in their homes and were running out of food.

"When I heard there were families in need, I knew we needed to act fast I called my husband and asked him to gather up kayaks and meet me at the restaurant," Habib told the news station KPRC, an affiliate of NBC Houston.

Habib and her team ferried 120 pizzas into kayaks and took them out to stuck locals after paddling though chest-high waters. The pizzas were secured in red delivery pouches.

"The people in the houses didn't expect us to come. It was so nice to see their smiles after so much gloom," Habib told the news station.

Habib added that she plans to continue delivering pizza until her store runs out of food to deliver.

Pizza Hut thanked Habib and her crew on Twitter, writing, "THANK YOU to our Oak Lake Pizza Hut team for their out-of-the-car response to deliver hot pizzas all day to the community they serve."
