PLANO, Texas, June 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Pizza Hut,
known for pioneering pizza innovation is bringing back one of its
most iconic, handcrafted pizzas just in time for summer - The
Edge®. The Edge is a premium thin-crust pizza packed
with toppings all the way to the edge – leaving no room for
traditional crust and making every bite the best bite. The
handcrafted pizza is perfectly balanced with a touch of sweetness
from the signature tomato sauce and the savory flavors of the
loaded toppings and exclusive, unique, garlic and herb
seasoning ONLY available on The Edge.
The Edge uses Thin 'N Crispy® dough, the first type
of dough ever used when Pizza Hut opened its doors in 1958. The
Edge was first released in 1997 and is considered a "tavern-style"
pizza because it's cut into 16 squares and comes on a cracker-thin
crust that has a noticeable crunch and is sturdy enough to hold ALL
the toppings, getting you optimal flavor in every bite. The combo
of the toppings, thin, crispy, light crust and shareable square
pieces makes it the perfect pizza for patio season.
The iconic Edge pizza comes in four distinct
recipes:
- The Ultimate is packed with pepperoni, Italian sausage,
green peppers, onions and Roma
tomatoes
- The Carnivore is loaded with pepperoni, ham, Italian
sausage and bacon
- The Vegetarian is overflowing with green peppers,
onions, mushrooms and Roma
tomatoes
- Pepperoni Lover's® is topped with pepperoni,
pepperoni and more pepperoni
"The Edge is a pizza our customers constantly ask us to bring
back. Anyone who loves thin crust pizzas loaded with toppings will
love the Edge," said David Graves,
general manager, Pizza Hut. "The bold flavor and aroma of the Edge
Seasoning will instantly transport you back to a Pizza Hut."
