Hello everyone, this is Running On Empty ...
Food Review. Well, hello, ladies and gentlemen and everyone watching!
This is Running On Empty Food Review and I am your host TheReportOfTheWeek.
So we have a new new review for you. As a matter of fact, it's not just any review
It's a pizza
review and, you know, when it comes down to all the things that I like reviewing, I like trying out, 'cause there certainly is a very,
you know, very broad spectrum of huge variety of stuff out there in the fast food world. I always love these pizza releases.
I mean hands down by far. That's my favorite thing to review and
Pizza Hut, they are... this is not necessarily a
new item that they are
introducing. Rather, they're
reintroducing a item that I think I actually reviewed on this channel beforehand.
But, either way - perhaps by popular demand, perhaps not, either way -
they just said, "You know what? We're bringing it back!" The ultimate cheesy crust pizza from Pizza Hut is back. You might say,
"What a name!?" (No. What I actually said was, "Dammit! I was hoping for a full undercover investigation of Chuck E. Cheese Reviewbrah." But this will do.)
What exactly is in the ultimate cheesy crust pizza to give it such a title of...
gargantuan proportions?
I'll tell you. This pizza has a crust that features, you know, these little pockets
kind of like the cheesy bites pizza, though
they're more of like their pools of cheese that have a blend of mozzarella, provolone,
white cheddar,
asiago and
fontina cheese.
What a what a blend of cheeses wouldn't you say? And it has 16 of these cheese pockets
and it's supposed to be a pizza with a very cheesy crust. The price for this varies. I obtained this
for
$12.99. Other people have said they've got theirs for
$16. So, you know just keep in mind the price can be a little bit on the variable side.
But otherwise, it's just a cheesy cheesy pizza, especially with the crust that is.
How cheesy is it? I guess time will tell. Here it is.
(He's working hard to get that high-res thumbnail shot for us. How thoughtful.)
And how about we now turn the autofocus off right there.
So we can get that that super high-res close-up of the pizza that we all clicked on the video for,
There you go. I mean you can see of course. I got the pizza with pepperoni.
That's what all that red stuff in the middle is.
So it's like the pizza got some sort of, you know, high dose of radiation exposed to it and now it's just going crazy!
But yeah, you can see it's just a standard pizza, but then it has these pools of cheese on the crust.
How about
I get a slice?
And we get that close up for you? (Yes! Wow. It feels like I'm dining right there with him. Amazing!)
You can see, you know, your standard greasy pepperoni pizza.
I always like going with pepperoni, you know, it's just my go-to and then there's the crust, you know, you can see right there
it's just a.. like a stuffed crust pizza, but it's not.
There's the view of cheese pond as
I call it. And... (Thank You Reviewbrah! I'm all about that cheese action.)
You know? There you go. (Haha. He's trying to get that perfect thumbnail shot. I think it may be making him crazy at this point.)
(I admire his dedication.) Yeah, all right, well you see what it looks like. (Yup we saw it alright.) I saw what it looks like. I know what it looks like and
again, I'm just gonna
readjust this. The brightness has been a little odd today. But, it is what it is.
And I'm gonna try it out for you. So it's The...
Got a napkin covering. (He remembered the napkins. I'm impressed.)
The ultimate cheesy crust pizza from Pizza Hut going in. I'll let you know what it tastes like and how cheesy it is.
Going in!
(Consumption Sequence Commences)
(Checking in. Is this guy still eating? He is?? Holy cow. Alright. I'll check back later.)
(Finally. Geesh. I thought he'd never stop chewing.)
You know, I know a lot of people when they eat their pizza they like it fresh right?
(No. I like it from the dumpster, kid. What kind of question is this?)
Like I mean you practically look at any
pizza
advertisements, a commercial and so on, and when they're cutting the pizza and then you know when the happy TV family is eating it.
Like the cheese is all molten and it's dripping and trooping and all that, right?
(Oh goodness. I think I'm gonna be sick.)
To be honest,
I've never been a fan when it's like that that fresh, when the cheese is in the still kind of liquid esque state.
(Sounds like you're describing a volcano to me Reviewbrah. Alas, I'll let you continue... carry on.)
Now ..
(Go on... I'm listening.)
I don't know if it's just that maybe my tongue has more sensitive taste bites?
Taste buds, not taste bites! But anyway...
(Sounds like a personal problem bro.)
I'm more sensitive or what whatever. I remember. I was at this pizzeria. This is going years back.
(Awww... yeah! Reviewbrah story time. He's going to trigger nostalgic FDR fireside chat memories with this one. I can feel it.)
This is back in New York, this is just a local pizzeria, right?
(I like it. Sounds a lot better than what you're eating. Let's be real.)
I was out there at lunch with
an acquaintance. We got these pepperoni slices. They made it fresh, you know, fresh out of the oven. (You mean like how pizza is supposed to be made?)
And, I mean it was like in that molten state.
(What molten state are you referring to: Hawaii or New Jersey? I thought you were in New York? I'm confused.)
I take a bite.
And I mean my tongue was just burnt. I mean it was burnt!
The roof of my mouth was burnt. I couldn't taste anything for probably days afterward. The pain was
something else and
there was my acquaintance just lapping it up, you know? Where there I was I kind of killed my tongue for a day.
Burned it. Saw the other guy just, you know, lapping it down.
I was thinking I just don't know how some people can eat it that hot. I can't.
(So your acquaintance is a garbage disposal? Amazing!)
Perhaps it's all just one big endurance test. You know, who's to say?
(Or you could stop going out to eat with your garbage disposal Reviewbrah - like a normal human being?)
(Just when I thought you couldn't get any weirder Reviewbrah, then you tell me this??)
(But who am I to judge?)
(Whoah. The Blue Chalice of Peace has made a return appearance. Alright. I'll let this one slide Reviewbrah. All is forgiven. Right on!)
I know. Right?
This is one for the ages!
Most of the time I just sit there silently and stare into your soul.
But this time I probably gave you the most gripping story in a long time. I bet you were just sitting there,
"Come on Reviewbrah! Tell me more! Tell me about the pizza and the
consistency of the cheese!"
Well, about this pizza anyway to kind of keep the little flame going to keep it alive...
You know, the I guess the too-long-didn't-read
version of this review is: That the pizza itself is good.
It's cheesy. Tastes good. I do have one primary complaint, you know?
Because the pizza itself, it's very similar to all the
stuffed crust pizzas and variants that you may get from Pizza Hut. You know, kind of that very
thin pizza, you know, it's salty, its greasy. It's what you'd expect from Pizza Hut though.
Tastes fine though - pepperonis good. The crust is very cheesy.
Definitely kind of the cheese blend all mixed together.
So you can't... despite having this this quite elaborate blend of all these different cheeses in the crust,
It's not like you're gonna be able to say, "Oh, yeah
I knew, I knew there is that fontina cheese in there. I could tell!" It's not gonna be like that.
Unless perhaps you are one of the very few cheese maestro's in the world.
Otherwise, it's just gonna be like, yeah, it's cheesy.
That tastes pretty good, you know just blends together well. Right? It's one of those pizzas that it all blends together.
It tastes good. Right? Not too much to complain about. Except for one thing.
(Uh oh. Here it comes.)
A pizza such as this...
There was a fly trying to get into my ear. What it was trying to do there? I don't know. But anyway...
(A fly? Or was it Pizza Hut intel already on the attack?)
With pizzas such as this right? Like, especially
with a crust
that, I mean looks like this right? You know, it's got these pockets.
You think it's perfect for dipping right? You can rip it off. You saw what I did - dip it in some, maybe some, marinara sauce.
Maybe a little bit of that garlic blend? If you're feeling really adventurous, go with the icing right and just gonna go to town!
Where's the sauce?
(Yeah. Where is the sauce Pizza Hut?)
There isn't any. And then that's my complaint.
(Dang. Reviewbrah looks sad.)
Because while I myself I have the water, you know, and it tastes good. I think this is one of those pizzas
that's kind of meant to be dippable.
When there's no sauce to dip it with? Doesn't come with it!
I'd say that's disappointing.
(#$@&%*!)
You're right.
We weren't promised any sort of dipping sauce, but I just think it would have been a fine fine addition.
Just, you know, to to this pizza to be honest.
I think it just would go so well with that crust to be able to dip it in some marinara sauce. And
Pizza Hut, I know you guys are watching this, just a suggestion...
Add some marinara sauce on the side - a little dipping cup of it.
It would just be the perfect touch for this because otherwise I think a lot of people, while flavorful it may be,
really just would think this is a such a good dippable
pizza. I know you guys used to just throw it in complementary. Now,
You got to go you got to pay the extra fifty cents and you got to get this...
(You have to pay for sauce now? WTF?)
At least the Pizza Hut's here, just give you this prepackaged garbage that just downright sucks! And I hate it!
You know? I'd rather just go make my own just pizza sauce at home.
(savage)
You know just go back to the good old days, which is like three months ago...
And just throw in some marinara sauce - some good marinara sauce - because that's what this pizza deserves!
It's a dippable pizza - needs some good marinara sauce. And that's my one disappointment. Now, price-wise...
It's a very unique premium pizza. Tastes fine, but I think that addition really really should be there.
So with that said, all in all, I'm gonna be giving this Pizza an
8.0 out of 10. Because again, while it tastes fine
right? And while
everything blends together and all of that,
I just think having that sauce on the side there would just be such a good accompaniment that it's missing out on. So oh...
Here we go. Here we go.
