The company runs and owns multiple Pizza Hut locations in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, and Tennessee.

Chatman sued the company after claiming he was a victim of "excessively hard croutons" at one of its restaurants, WBIR reported.

Chatman said he suffered personal injury and damaged a specialized partial denture, Roane County News reported.

His attorney, Mark Foster, said his client tried to negotiate with the restaurant to no avail. So, he said, they decided to sue.

When asked if Chatman was pleased with his court victory, Foster said "I think so."

The lesson here: Next time get the pizza.
