Pizza Hut reveals its newest addition to the menu with the introduction of Chicago Tavern-Style Pizza, accompanied by a toppings makeover, representing the most extensive toppings menu update in more than ten years. Pizza Hut stands out as the pioneer among global pizza chains to introduce Tavern Pizza and becomes the trailblazer among global fast-food pizza brands by introducing Chicken Sausage, Pesto Swirl, and Spicy Sauce as regular topping choices.
The Tavern-style pizza traces its roots back to 1930s Chicago, where it quickly became a tavern favorite. Bartenders served up this thin-crust delight in square cuts, often for free, enticing patrons to linger longer. Pizza Hut’s take on tavern-style pizza consists of a cracker-thin crust topped from edge to edge with a variety of contemporary flavors featured in four unique recipes, including Pesto Margherita, Spicy Chicken Sausage, Double Pepperoni, and The Ultimate.
As part of the launch, Pizza Hut is also rolling out its most significant toppings overhaul in over a decade, introducing eight new toppings and sauces to menus across the country as permanent fixtures. These additions include the new Spicy Marinara Sauce, Crispy Cupped Pepperoni, Pesto Sauce Swirl, Chicken Sausage, Fresh Diced Garlic, Grape Tomatoes, Caramelized Onions, and Fire Roasted Peppers. Fans can try these new options on the four new Chicago Tavern-Style Pizza varieties or customize their favorite pizza orders with these toppings.
