I don't think it's that. It's most likely along the lines of Pizza Hut not wanting to be represented that way in a country other than Japan - because of cultural differences and such. Anime is much more mainstream in Japan - particularly the war/mecha type that CG is. So seeing the Pizza Hut logo is like any other ad....but in the US (especially if it's aired on tv) they might be afraid of people thinking that Pizza Hut endorses violent cartoons and such. They're afraid of the retarded people that live in this country basically... A more extreme example is how Bandai didn't want the final season of Sailor Moon to be liscensed in the US because they didn't want the reputation of their company stained in the US by having nude scenes in such a popular series. It's not that they didn't condone the series (obviously they did or they wouldn't have done it) but they didn't think the general western audience would see it the same way.
