When a Pizza Hut dies, something new is born in its place.

That's the idea, at least, behind photographer Ho Hai Tran's photo project, "Pizza Hunt."

"The inspiration for the series is the huts and the memories they hold," Tran told Mashable. "The sight of our first hut brought back our own memories of dining there as kids."

The distinct design and recognizable roof of Pizza Huts means that even though they no longer serve slices, their shape is unmistakeable, even at a distance. Tran and his photo team discovered that old Pizza Huts around the globe have been reinterpreted as everything from liquor stores to pawn shops, but they were all built in the image of the original hut in Kansas, Tran said.
