Party of one? Pizza Hut is now selling pizza by the slice — sort of
Pizza Hut is rolling out a new menu item, but it’s not meant for sharing.
Designed for a “party of one,” new Pizza Hut Melts are the chain’s latest take on selling pizza by the slice. The new offering arrives at participating restaurants nationwide starting Tuesday, Oct. 18, the Texas-based chain announced in a news release.
Pricing starts at $6.99 and may vary by location.
The new dish is essentially a calzone with a twist, featuring two slices of Pizza Hut’s Thin N’ Crispy pizza folded and stuffed with cheese and toppings, then “baked to melty perfection,” the release said. Customers have their pick of four recipes: pepperoni, chicken bacon Parmesan, buffalo chicken and meat lovers.
Each “slice” is also paired with a special dipping sauce.
Pizza Hut tried selling personal slices in 2014, but the concept didn’t get past test runs at a few restaurants at the time, CNN Business reported. The restaurant has since been successful with adding a variety of toppings and crusts, according to the news outlet.
