Pizza Hut's New Stuffed Crust Pizza Features Applewood Smoked Bacon
Katherine Pendrill — May 3, 2016 — Lifestyle
Pizza Hut recently expanded its stuffed crust menu with the addition of a new bacon-stuffed pizza crust. While the idea of a pizza crust oozing with an extra helping of cheese may sound decadent enough, this new dish also features bits of the chain's popular Applewood Smoked Bacon.
The new menu addition is called the Bacon Stuffed Crust Pizza and it puts a creative twist on the chain's existing stuffed crust option. The dish consists of a regular pizza finished with an extra-thick crust. Inside the crust is a pipping hot blend of melted cheeses and crunchy pieces of Pizza Hut's Applewood Smoked Bacon.
Despite the push for healthier restaurant options, the addition of the bacon-stuffed pizza crust to the Pizza Hut menu demonstrates the growing demand for indulgent and over-the-top dishes.
