The [song](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQ8ViYIeH04) by Das Racist is possibly the worst song ever, or maybe the best. It is definitely a love it or hate it type of song. I personally can’t stop listening to it. The thought of a combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell never crossed my mind, but it does make sense, as they are corporate siblings. The song mentions the one on Jamaica Ave., presumably in NYC. Is there really one there? Has anyone ever been there? Are there more of these combination stores across the country? There are none near me. Maybe there combination KFC’s and Pizza Huts, or KFC’s and Taco Bells, too.

There are a good number of combination Yum! Brands stores. I think there’s a KFC/Taco Bell in my area.

And yes, there is a [Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell](http://covers.groups.vox.com/library/photo/6a00cd970e4cda4cd50110181c687f860f.html) on Jamaica Avenue, on the intersection of Jamaica and 160th Street.

A couple miles from my house in St. Louis County there’s a Taco Bell that offers Pizza Hut personal pan pizzas. I forget if you can get any other Pizza Hut items there.

There’s a Taco Bell/A&W’s near me.

There’s a KFC/Taco Bell here, a little out of my way (which is probably for the best). If they had a KFC/Pizza Hut/or Long John Silver’s, I would go out of my way far too often - I love the stuff. Not Taco Bell so much.

Here in SLC there is a Pizza Hut/Taco Bell combo place within 200 yards of one of the finest pizza places in the entire state of Utah, and within another 200 yards (in the other direction) of one of Salt Lake’s best (very authentic and affordable) Mexican restaurants…

Always seems like the Pizza Bell/Taco Hut has all the business it can handle, when the other two places (both are family operated, independant and far superior) from my observations, are just holding thier own.

(I know that not everyone wants authentic Mexican or a NYC style pie; that some like the familiarity and convienence of a chain or drive thru; in a free market economy the cream rises, etc.etc.etc.)

For my part, when the mood strikes, where I will choose to spend my $$$ is a very easy call.

And not far from me is an A&W/Long John Silver’s.

They should just combine all three.

Next to my highschool, there used to be a combo Taco Bell/Pizza Hut/KFC. You could get your Twisted wrap with your chicken quesadilla 😉

Which two restaurants are you talking about? Also, I can think of two KFC/Taco Bells and two KFC/A&Ws in Salt Lake right off the top of my head. IIRC, one of the of the KFC/A&Ws used to be a KFC/Pizza Hut. This based on the other responses makes me think might have built every possible combination of two Yum Brands stores. Are there any A&W/Pizza Huts or A&W/Taco Bells? Any stores that are a combo of three or more brands?

EDIT: I see that KarlGrenze has confirmed the existence of a three store combo.

There’s a Taco Bell/Pizza Hut right by my house. It’s like 90% Taco Bell, though, all they have for Pizza Hut stuff is personal pizzas and breadsticks. So it’s basically a Taco Bell with pizzas.

In my STL burb there is a Pizza Hut/Taco Bell. I hate those tiny personal pizzas and don’t eat fast food anymore so I don’t go. When I used to occasionally imbibe in Taco Bell I preferred the location without the Pizza Hut.

In Columbia MO where I went to college there is IIRC a Hardees/Red Burrito? But I don’t know what the fuck Red Burrito is. On vacations I’ve seen the KFC/Pizza Hut/Taco Bell combinations - I might even have been to one with all 3 but I could also be making it up.

Yep, there are various combinations of Pizza Hut/Taco Bell/KFC/Long John Silvers/A&W. As others have said, I’ve seen combos of two and combos of three.

There are also combo Dunkin Donuts and Baskin Robbins.

In the Chicago area, Portillos often combines with some of its sibling restaurants, but this isn’t as noteworthy because these brands are not national brands like the previous ones.

My wife, who grew up in KC and went to the KFC/Taco Bell/Pizza Hut at 135th and Metcalf, called it the KenTacoHut.

I came in to mention that exact same store, and use that exact same phrase. (I grew up near there.)

Here in Indiana, there are Taco Bell/Pizza Hut combos all over the place. In fact, I’m kinda hard up to think of one that’s NOT a combo.

I live near both a KFC/Taco Bell and a KFC/Long John Silver’s.

There is a combination Taco Bell/Pizza Hut on Imperial Highway near my house. On the next block over there is a combination KFC/Long John Silver’s.

There’s a Taco Bell/Pizza Hut combo right near my office, and a KFC about 3 miles up from that.
