Pizza Hut China recently debuted a seafood-inspired pizza that celebrates Chinese New Year. While many pizza chains have experimented with adding fishy toppings such as shrimp to their pies, this unusual menu item gives new meaning to the concept of surf n' turf.
The latest pizza from Pizza Hut China features bacon, mushrooms, asparagus, red peppers, shrimp and lobster sauce. The entire pizza is then topped with half a lobster to create a hybrid seafood dish. For those who are not big fans of pizza, the chain is also offering a pasta dish with the same half lobster topping.
The decadent dish not only celebrates Chinese New Year, but it also demonstrates a growing consumer demand for alternative pizza topping such as seafood.
