Item 4.   CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT

          Effective July 27, 1998, NPC International, Inc. (the
"Company") engaged PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Company's
independent accountants to audit the financial statements for the
fiscal year ending March 30, 1999.  PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP
completed its engagement and provided the Company with its
unqualified audit report dated May 4, 1999 for such fiscal year
which contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and
was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or
accounting principles.  Furthermore, during the term of the audit
engagement there were no disagreements which if not resolved to
the satisfaction of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, would have
caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement
in connection with its report.  Subsequent to the completion of the
engagement, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors commenced the
process of considering the appointment of independent accountants for the
Company's fiscal year ending March 28, 2000.  As part of this process,
through a series of meetings beginning in May 1999, the Audit Committee
reviewed with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP what the Audit Committee
considered to be unacceptable service levels and relationship
issues.  In a meeting held on July 23, 1999, between the Audit
Committee and representatives of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the
Audit Committee stated its willingness to continue the
auditor-client relationship with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP subject to
the Audit Committee's request that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP provide
an alternative engagement partner.  <PAGE>Despite the efforts of the
Audit Committee, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP did not respond to such
request and on July 28, 1999 notified the Company that it had
resigned and "ceased the auditor-client relationship" as of that
date (a copy of such notice is attached as Exhibit 99.1).  The
Company notes that a resignation in these circumstances is
inappropriate because PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP has not been
engaged for the fiscal year ending March 30, 2000.

          As a result of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP's action, the
Audit Committee immediately commenced a search for a new
independent accounting firm for fiscal year 2000.  The Company has
narrowed its selection of a new independent auditing firm to two of
the other "Big Five" accounting firms and plans to make its
selection within the next week.

          During the fiscal year ended March 30, 1999, and during
any subsequent interim periods through July 28, 1999, there were no
disagreements with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on any matter of
accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure,
or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not
resolved to the satisfaction of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, would
have caused it to make a reference to the subject matter of the
disagreements in connection with its report.

          During the fiscal year ended March 30, 1999, and during
any subsequent interim periods through July 28, 1999, there were no
reportable events (as defined in Securities and Exchange Commission
Regulations S-K Item 304(a)(1)(v)).

          The Company requested PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to
furnish a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange
Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements.
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP's letter will be filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission within two days after such
letters receipt.
