No doubt fueled by the media storm surrounding last year's Crown Crust launch abroad, Pizza Hut announced Monday the debut of the similar Crazy Cheesy Crust Pizza in the U.S. It's essentially the next generation of stuffed-crust pizza.
The Crazy Cheesy Crust Pizza offers a ring of cheese pockets around the crust, two per the average slice. The pockets contain a five-cheese blend of provolone, asiago, mozzarella, fontina and mild white cheddar. They can be pulled off individually or eaten as part of the slice. The rest of the pie comes with the same toppings as regular pizzas, but the toppings do not cover the cheese pockets.
The new pizza will launch on April 3 and will be available for a period of six weeks to three months, Pizza Hut spokesman Doug Terfehr told The Huffington Post. A pie will cost $12.99 with a single topping -- three dollars more than a regular pizza. Terfehr was vague about the odds of the item staying on the permanent menu, but he alluded to the possibility that it might be brought back in the future.
