I believe that, at some point, maybe within the last 25 years, Pizza Hut made the change from thick seasoned steel pans to anodized aluminum. Anodized aluminum is usually pretty thick, with a dark gray layer of aluminum oxide that's very durable and, while it's not non stick, it tends to be able to take on a bit of seasoning.

So, if you want to approach a modern Pizza Hut pan pizza replica as authentically as possible, I'd go with a Lloyd pan- most likely with one of their industrial coatings (ptsk, tuff-kote, etc).

But Lloyd pans tend to be pricey. Chicago Metallic makes anodized pans

Allied also makes pans

If you want to go old school, then finding thick enough steel pans is going to be difficult. I would probably just seek out a cast iron pan in the diameter of pie you're looking to make.

These are uncoated steel,

but they look kind of lightweight.

If you're not married to a round pan, these are well liked, if not a little pricey:

It's not exactly like seasoning cast iron, but I've seasoned uncoated anodized aluminum. You can spend more on the industrial coatings, but if I were shopping for pans, I might go for the cheapest anodized pan I can find.
