Hello everyone, this is running on empty
food review
Lately I've taken to doing a little thing with my my finger there for added emphasis. This is running on empty food review
I am your host the report of the week. And here we are
This is it
This is the collaboration of the century that nobody really asks for no one really wanted, but we're getting it anyway
Two unlikely candidates have teamed up
we have Pizza Hut and
cheez-it and
They teamed together
Now whether they are forces for good or evil no one really knows at this point
But either way they just said look we're gonna do it
We're gonna we're gonna collaborate and we're going to make these stuffed cheese it pizza
And they did they they they actually did it believe it or not. It's out
They just released it I heard of this but I just wasn't really sure at first
I honestly couldn't believe I thought people were just joking and they were messing around and
no, then I realized people were dead serious if they actually went ahead and released this thing and I got so many requests over the
Last day or two to try this out and I'm gonna give it a shot
So here's the info about it first and foremost, so we just know
What kind of?
Thing that's the best way to describe it. Honestly, I would not go as far as to call it a pizza
What kind of thing we're dealing with here? So the stuffed cheese at Pizza. What is it? Exactly?
Uh, you know, it's I even have a hard time calling it a pizza and myself
They describe it as having four jumbo squares
That are like they're giant cheez-it crackers
with like a cheddar cheese
crust
kind of like a cheese and cracker right that hence the
Name and then it's filled with cheese. But but you can also get it filled with cheese and pepperoni and
Then it also comes with marinara dipping sauce a price but this is six dollars and forty nine each
That begs the question though
Number one. What does it taste like right to find that out and number two?
I think a lot of people were trying to figure out like I mean, how big is it exactly, right?
it is it because they call it like a
Jumbo cheese it
So I was thinking at first that it's gonna be like the size of a medium a medium
Pizza and it's gonna be like this pillow sized
Cheese at cracker and I was thinking like I don't really know what they're trying to go for here
it was it was reminding me a little bit of the p'zone which was actually pretty good and
it's just going to be a really interesting one to try out a
Public opinion of this one has really mixed the some people were saying this thing is a disgrace
This this is the worst thing I've ever seen. It's an abomination. It's a waste of money
It's just look it might even outright kill. You other people were saying this is the most delicious thing I've ever tried and
There was one guy I was actually in the news a little bit. So I don't know if you saw it
He actually bought this sack full of them
he must have ordered dozens of them and
He filled them out and he actually made a little bit of like a mattress out of it
He sleeps on at every single night. I mean some people are that much
Of a fan of this item like they go crazy over it. So
People are mixed some people love it. Some people hate it and I have to be completely honest
I kind of looked at this item initially and I thought to myself this is uh
This is a little ridiculous
If you ask me, I thought it was I thought its outright silly, but you know what?
I want to be pleasantly surprised here and I want to be taken back and then you know
I want to look at it and say hey I had my doubts about it
I might have thought it was quite silly and gimmicky, but it actually tasted good. So we'll see
Either way though. I got both of them. I got the standard cheese
Stuffed cheez-it Pizza and then I also got the cheese and pepperoni once I'm gonna try them both out
We'll just see which one's better or if they're both good or if they're both bad or best of the worst
or worst of the worst or anything in between
They both come in the same box. You can see right here
stuffed
cheese if
Pizza only at Pizza Hut and you can see they did mark right there as cheese. Some people were wondering they were saying well
obviously it comes with the cheddar cheese on the crust, but what type of cheese is stuffed inside of it and
No one knows
I actually went over to Pizza Hut when I got these and I went and I asked the person who was working
I said, you know, excuse me. Do you know what type of cheese is in this thing? And
They didn't know either they were they were
It just has as puzzled as I was they said I think it's the cheese that's on the pizza
So there you have it but in truth, no one really knows at this point
So that's what it comes down to
there's the marinara sauce that you can dip it in and sure it looks just like the advertisement I
Always I always have an issue with the prepackaged stuff, but it is what it is
comes in the commemorative wrapping
And there it is
You know, they they give you the impression that I think they're a little bigger than this
That's my that's my honest opinion, when you look at the ad there is nothing
For scale, you know
It's like they're gonna go ahead and put this next to me here and they're gonna say see it's about the size
it's like
You know two and a half times bigger than my tie knot they're not gonna use that for comparison instead
They make this thing look gigantic
Like it could even be, you know a half mile in diameter
But obviously that's not the case. So let's just take one out
close-up
Right there the
Cheese it
the stuffed cheese at Pizza if you really want to call it that
There it is. And this is just the cheese only one you can see right there and with that
Well, you know what's in it. I know what's in it. We all know what's in it
I'm gonna try it out and I'll let you know what it tastes like
Says it's a stuffed cheese a piece of the cheese only one
I'll try it out and I'll let you know what it tastes like it's going in
I tried to make that as dramatic as possible
So it's do not microwave so hopefully you can confirm that I am NOT microwaving it
Take one more bite
Hey, you know what?
I'll be completely honest
It is not as bad as I thought it would be like I saw this initially and I thought to myself
this is gonna be so bland that's gonna be so, you know just
Uneventful, but it's a little better than that
It's definitely here's what it comes down to in regards to the mystery cheese blends inside now
You definitely see this is all that it is really it's just cheese and more cheese
So if you like all things cheesy, I think we'll probably be a fan of this
the cheese inside is
to me and again
I am not completely sure because no one verified this but most similarly if you get their stuffed crust pizza
It's like that creamy
Cheese blend that's in the crust there
So that's my that's my best guess in regards to like from from Pizza Hut one thing directly
That I can compare it to to me
It tastes exactly like that when you get in the stuffed crust pizza, that's what it tastes like to me
But again, I can't give any exact figures because I'm not no one told me what's in it
otherwise ask for the
You know, you can definitely taste that cheddar cheese on the outside there
So, you know you kind of get have a little bit of a two fold and blend there
But it's very cheesy. And to be honest. It's it's not as bad as you think it is. It's all right
it's not as try as I thought it would be either but
It is very gimmicky
I'm not gonna go ahead and say that it's the best thing that I've ever had from Pizza Hut
I would say it's about average, you know, it's it doesn't blow me away. That's for sure
The marinara sauce is a must though. You have to get it with the marinara sauce for sure
So that's that's first things first right there
When I say it's worth 6 dollars and 49 cents each. No, I wouldn't but
For what it is I'm not blown away by it. But at the same time I'm not necessarily
terribly disappointed
It has a little more flavor than I thought it would have them though
the original one - Cheese Only one I would give it a
I'll give it a six out of ten now a little a little bit above the average but nothing crazy right now
Just try out the pepperoni one real quick. This is has pepperoni in it and nothing more here. Just cheese and pepperoni
If you are interested by the way, I have a new podcast out
Today you can check it out at youtube.com/vorwpodcast

You can see the tiny little bits of pepperoni in there it's more like
cubed pepperoni it's kind of odd, but I
Mean, not as flavorful as I thought it would be
To be honest, that's a little more underwhelming than cheese only one
That's uh, that's my honest assessment there of the two
I think that cheese only one is actually a little bit better than the pepperoni one because I think
the pepperoni and cheese
Stuffed Cheez-it
Kind of it sets itself up to the standard that you expect it to be a little more flavorful
You think well, it has a little bit more diversity in toppings therefore
It's gonna be a little better than the other one, but in reality, it's actually a little bit more on the bland side
I was hoping for a little more flavor from that pepperoni, which was clearly lacking so I'm actually
Over the two I would actually say that the cheese only one probably the better of the two
But Saturno has some quality issues with the pepperoni. I'm not really tasting it like I thought I would so I would rate the
Pepperoni stuffed cheez-it, I would only give that five point two out of ten
Whereas a cheese one again, I would grade it around the six out of ten range again
They're both a little overpriced marinara sauce is a definite must for both of them
but to be quite honest I mean
I don't really think I don't think they're as bad as some people say that they are definitely not as good either
I would say it's a pretty standard middle-of-the-road thing
But it's gimmicky. You want to try it if you want to go take them and make sunglasses
Out of them and post it on Instagram and go for it
It's very gimmicky people are talking about it, but it is not the worst thing in the world by far and with that
That's all I have for you. Ladies and gentlemen, I'm your host the report of the week. Thank you for watching
Take care, and I'll see you again in a couple days with another review and on a final note real quick
Yes, it most certainly does taste like a cheez-it. It's cheesy and it does have that cheez-it flavor
