hello everyone this is running on empty food review well hello ladies gentlemen and everyone
who is here watching and listening in this is running on empty food review and i am your host
the report of the week so this this new release came honestly as a very uh a fortuitous release
it was it was a pleasant surprise because you have so many establishments out there now
that still seem to be obsessed with the chicken sandwiches for better or for worse you know it's
just a lot of places i think they call them the chicken sandwich wars they still talk about them
you know you have chick-fil-a which is releasing a new sandwich and you have even boston market
is getting into the ring they're releasing one you have mcdonald's with ambitions to release one even
taco bell is starting to float the idea so of course with so much talk about chicken
sandwiches here chicken sandwich is there a detroit style pizza from pizza hut came as
a surprise it took me off guard but i'm excited about this because there was kind of no warning
about this it simply was released today and i thought oh okay let's let's give this a shot
detroit style pizza it's a medium pizza available again at pizza hut for the price of 10.99
you might say detroit style pizza you know what exactly um what exactly is detroit style pizza
maybe some people have heard of it maybe others haven't here's what detroit style pizza is it's
a deep dish pizza it's loaded with toppings so they say all the way to the crust at that
it's supposed to be crispy the crust is even supposed to be slightly caramelized here's the
big deal though this is what differentiates it from you know your regular your regular boring
old pizza right the the um detroit style pizza the tomato sauce is not underneath the cheese
it's not below the pizza right so they don't dump the sauce in and then put the dough over the sauce
that would be kind of weird anyway but instead you have the pizza and the sauce is poured on
top of everything it's poured on top of the cheese on top of the pepperoni etc so that's
uh that's the big selling point the deep dish pizza and again it'll be pretty interesting
here the detroit style pizza available for the price of 10.99 this release came as such
a surprise a lot a lot of people are just having it's at that point where it's so momentous and so
incredible lots of folks are even struggling to comprehend it some people are even they're sitting
there in like a catatonic state and they're saying this pizza might be the defining moment of my life
you know it's it's it's a big deal it comes in its own little box look at that we have
this is a collector's item right here it says detroit style pizza right there let's focus
the cameras you could see this this work of art this is like a rembrandt it's it's
it's incredible um this this diorama as they say but again crispy cheesy edges it says hint
go for the corner pieces so that's what we'll do uh 50 more cheese melted all the way to the edge
loaded with toppings cooked to perfection vine ripened tomato sauce
up top keeps the crust light and airy so again you can see from pizza hut as they say the hut right
and there it is now in simply simply in terms of its general appearance it reminds me of little
caesar's deep deep dish pizza of course with the exception of the sauce but how it is cut
into the eight slices i think that was a bit of a um you know it's the corner slices we'll go for
one of those it looks like that but again the sauce is up on the pizza itself um let me just
get a little thumbnail shot right here you know showcasing of course the goods so there we are
yeah something like this right and let's get a slice out so you can get a closer view of it
i'm excited about this though you know for those of you who have been here for a while
you know i like my uh my pizza reviews i really am i i like them those are probably my favorite
things to review quite frankly i don't know it's just something about a new pizza that just
it's just i don't know there's something fun to it in my opinion i don't know what it is but
i enjoy it it always puts me in a good mood um so here's a a close-up of it okay you can see
that's the sauce on top of it mixed in with the pepperoni and it looks like it's a thicker sauce
like something that you would see more on a pasta perhaps um as opposed to like a thinner
runny marinara all right so you can see it's like a thicker sauce a thicker pizza though you know
cheese pepperoni etc and again a crisp a little bit of a crisp bake to the crust right there
all right so with that said you know what's on it i know what's on it we all know what's on it
now it's time to try it out the detroit style pizza from pizza hut going in
so hmm
wow more pepperoni than i expected and that's a good sign that's all pepperoni there
a lot of places you know they say they put some extra pepperoni on
it they really don't but they really they kept their word let me tell you
i'll take two more bites
um
The hysteria surrounding this pizza
is understandable, perhaps even justifiable considering what i just ate.
i have to say i'm a fan of it i i like it i understand why so many people are talking about
it and they're kind of raving about it um it's a good pizza i mean it really is you know just
please just be a don't do anything too crazy but i recommend getting it i really do um i like it
this is when it comes to pizza hut my favorite pizza from all time still remains the cheesy
bites pizza um but i kid you not this may very well be a close second it may very well be
i mean i really like it i think it's great i like that the pizza because you have such a combination
and an adjust position of different consistencies different flavors but it all works everything on
it works that's a very very important role you bite in and yes it's soft it's doughy it's chewy
all right as you're eating it but then of course you have this noticeable crunchiness at the crust
which kind of offsets that if it almost seems too doughy then as you continue eating there's just
the perfect amount of cheese on it in my opinion it's like a little cheesier than of course your
regular pizza but not overwhelmingly so it's like you're eating a cheese stick or something just the
perfect amount of cheese on it there's a lot of pepperoni um that's one thing that i really like
i mean for those of you who do like pepperoni and i do pepperoni is my favorite pizza topping
there's a good amount of it on there's extra pepperoni you have these smaller little pieces
of pepperoni and some bigger ones and i think as you saw they really layer it up
heavy on the toppings and then you kind of just get that flavor from the pepperoni that kind of
seeps you know into the cheese and gives it just this nice little spiciness and meaty flavor and
i really like that and then of course you have the sauce it's different than their usual sauce
their usual marinara sauce and pizza sauce has sometimes a little bit of a sweetness to it
this is definitely much more robust all right much much
much stronger in terms of just the general tomato flavor there and it's a thicker sauce but that
really i mean you really taste it it's sharp but it really just permeates into every bite
and even though it looks like the distribution of it might be a little bit you know uneven perhaps
i think a little goes a long way in short i think this is one of those items where everything blends
together everything comes together and it all just works and as a result it comes in and
it makes for a darn good item so pizza hut i think they did a real good job with this detroit
style pizza i like it you have to also remember of course that when it comes to pizza places
you have a hierarchy of establishments right you have these artisan places you have local places
um then you have you know your fast food takeout pizza which a lot of people that
consider it like the lower echelon of of pizza of course um so even considering all that this is a
this is a real good pizza at a good price too whoops that's my wrong note sheet does for
another item yeah 10.99 is the price for this as well and again i think it's a good amount
of food um it'll certainly you know fill you up this is a filling pizza but really good too so
out of ten i gotta give it a nine out of ten um because it's it's good i really don't have many
complaints you know general quality again it's fast food takeout pizza but really good for what
it is so uh with that that's all that we have for you today i'm your host the report of the
week tried out the detroit style pizza from pizza hut and i am a big fan two two thumbs up there
because i think they did a real good job all right on a final note if anyone out there is interested
in anything to uh listen to i've got a new podcast out i released it the other day you can find it at
youtube.com/vorwpodcast so hope you could give it a listen if you're interested and with that
that's all we have be safe be healthy wherever you are and to take care until next time that's all
