A sign was placed in the window of the restaurant to inform customers of the closure.
It read: “We appreciate your custom over the years.
“Thank you, Glasgow.”
It was then signed off by the Argyle Street team.
The flagship branch was part of the famous ‘four corners’- with McDonalds, KFC, Tim Hortons and Pizza Hut all within walking distance of one another.
There are two other restaurants across the city – one in the Glasgow Fort and the other at Braehead.
Pizza Hut has been approached for comment.
It comes after Pizza Hut was saved from the brink of collapse by a major investment firm back in January.
The dine-in arm of the restaurant was rescued by private equity firm Directional Capital, which created DC London Pie Ltd to take over the franchise.
It saved 3,000 jobs and saw the closure of one restaurant.

It is separate to the delivery side of the chain, which is owned by Yum! Brands, the US firm that owns KFC.
Pizza Hut first arrived in the UK in 1973 and quickly became a favourite with diners.
At its height, the chain operated over 260 restaurants nationwide, employing 10,000 staff and welcoming three million customers each month.
Some of its most notable creations include the introduction of the pan pizza in 1980, the stuffed crust in 1995, and the re-launch of the pan pizza as the grand pan in 1998.
