Pretty sure Pizza Hut would be well within their rights to refuse to do catering for a Neo-Nazi event if they so chose.

They seem to be able to separate their religion and their work when it comes to other orders so what made this order so different?

Two different courts with different people presiding over them with all the facts at hand reached the same conclusion. I don't know what there is to argue about.
