Pizza Hut Malaysia recently introduced a dish called the 'Loaded Pockets Pizza,' which puts a creative twist on the concept of stuffed crust. In the past, Pizza Hut has filled its crust with everything from sausage rolls to meat pies. Now the chain is offering consumers something slightly different in the form of a creamy filling.
The new Loaded Pockets Pizza is a regular pizza surrounded by a ring of overstuffed crusty pockets that are oozing with a creamy chicken and mushroom filling. The pizza comes in two varieties, one of which includes beef and another that includes sweet spiced chicken.
Although the idea of a creamy chicken filling may not sound like the tastiest pizza accompaniment, the filling is similar to the dipping sauces that have become popular among consumers.
