Pizza Hut announced that it is bringing back its lineup of deep-dish 'Detroit-Style Pizzas.' This lineup includes four menu items that are made in Detroit-style, meaning they feature a rectangular crust with a deep-dish design and highly crisped edges, creating a flavorful pizza where the texture of the crispy crust contrasts with the thick range of toppings.
The four pizzas are the 'Double Pepperoni,' 'Meaty Deluxe,' 'Supremo,' and 'CYO.' The last pizza stands for 'Create Your Own,' as it allows customers to create their own single-topping pizza for $11.99, with any additional topping costing $1 USD each. The other three pizzas are represented by their name, the Double Pepperoni features classic pepperoni and cupped pepperoni, the Meaty Deluxe features crispy pepperoni, Italian sausage, and bacon, and the Supremo is topped with green peppers, red onions, and Italian sausage pieces.
