The future of Pizza Hut's restaurant in Peterborough has been confirmed amid the company's announcement of national closures.
Pizza Hut, which has a dine-in venue on Carr Road, off Boongate Roundabout, in Peterborough, is closing 68 sites after the company behind its UK venues went into administration.
The company said a rescue deal has saved 64 sites and secured the future of 1,277 workers.
The closure list has since been revealed, however the Peterborough restaurant is not on the list.
Pizza Hut also has takeaways in London Road, Peterborough, as well as at Ely Leisure Village, Cambridge North and St Neots, all of which are also safe from closure.

American hospitality giant Yum! Brands, which owns the global Pizza Hut business, said on Monday (October 20) that it had bought the UK restaurant operation in a pre-pack administration deal.
Nicolas Burquier, managing director of Pizza Hut Europe and Canada, said: “This targeted acquisition aims to safeguard our guest experience and protect jobs where possible.
“Our immediate priority is operational continuity at the acquired locations and supporting colleagues through the transition.”
As part of the restructure, it will also shut 11 delivery sites, which will put 1,210 workers at risk of redundancy. Details of those sites were not revealed at the time of publication.
