Pizza Hut® is the family pizza place.
As a matter of fact, we are rooted in family -- literally. Two brothers, mom and $600 turned into the recipe for the world's largest pizza company in 1958, when a family friend with the idea of opening a pizza parlor approached the two college-age brothers in Kansas. The concept was relatively new at the time and the brothers quickly saw the potential of this new enterprise. Borrowing $600 from their mother, they purchased second-hand equipment and rented a small building on a busy intersection in Wichita, Kansas. The result of their efforts was the first Pizza Hut and the foundation for what would become the largest and most successful pizza restaurant in the world.

No, not to my knowledge.
However, you may be interested in what companies WERE involved in that sort of thing. Check out the book "Mauve", by Simon Garfield... it's about the history of the organic chemicals industry, and it has some interesting things to say about Bayer, Hoechst, BASF, Agfa, etc.
There was a consortium of companies in the late 1800's and early 1900's in Germany called IG Farben which came to infamy for its involvement in producing poisons for the Nazi war machine (specifically, an IG Farben subsidiary called Degesch produced Zyklon-B using Jewish slave labor, which was then shipped to Birkenau, Auschwitz, and elsewhere for use against the Jews).
The eight constituent companies that made up IG Farben were not allowed to do any kind of business whatsoever with each other after WWII ended. What was left of the company, IG Farben in Liquidation, was still in existence in 2000 and had at least 200 shareholders.
In 1997, however, Bayer, Hoechst, and BASF merged about in a deal valued at about $720 million, and now control about $3 billion in the organic chemicals market.

Pizza Hut is based in Dallas Tx. Their parent company Yum Brand Inc is based in Louisville Ky. I do not think that the Nazi have a strong hold in either location.

Pizza Hut is owned by Yum!
While Taco Bell, Kentucky Fried Chicken, and Pizza Hut might not seem a natural fit, they are a winning combo for fast food conglomerate Yum! Brands. With more stores than McDonald's in 100 countries, Yum's corporate abuse has affected people on multiple levels of its operations from toy factory workers and farmers to store employees and managers. Yum! Brands and its fast food competitors strive to sell food cheaply, which comes at the expense of agricultural workers. The company's indifference to the poverty of growers and laborers led to a three-year boycott of Taco Bell headed by tomato farm workers from the Immokalee region of Florida. Under public pressure Taco Bell agreed to pay higher rates for tomatoes, modestly increasing the pay of nearly 1,000 workers who earn an average of $7,500 per year. This agreement, and the fact that minorities account for 43 percent of managers at Yum! stores set important precedents but the company has the capacity to do more. Yum! has been cited for sourcing toys from sweatshops, abusing labor standards in its stores and lacking transparency with regard to GMOs in its food.

No, but Dominos is run by a pro-liar @s$ who made a cult community and funds anti-choice movements.
"monies from pizza sales did flow into pro-life causes via the conduit of Tom Monaghan [owner of Dominos]" (Snopes)
