Hello everyone they say is Running On Empty ...
FOOD REVIEW!
Well hello ladies and gentlemen
And everyone watching this is running an empty food review, and I am your host TheReportOfTheWeek
Now I guess you could say this is gonna be an informal review. I mean it's a full-blown review. Don't count me wrong
It's gonna be a review. I'm gonna you know I'm gonna talk about the pizza. I'm gonna consume it
I'm going to assess it and everything in between
but I guess what I'm trying to say is that it's more of an informal review in that no planning really went into this I
Was you know I guess it's late. It's around
Nearing 1:00 a.m.. 2:00 a.m.. I can't even tell anymore
I think 1 a.m.. To be exact
Anyway, I was sitting here doing some work
And I was getting a little bit hungry of course and I was hungry for pizza and usually I always get pepperoni pizza
I mean, that's my that's my personal favorite pizza
I always like the pepperoni pizza sometimes
I'll get pizza with a little bacon on it, but pepperoni is always my favorite and when I get pizza I either
Usually I mean there's there's three chains that I frequent the most
You have Domino's and I usually just get them because they keep some pretty late hours, and they deliver
That's why I always sometimes go up them
Papa John's because lately I've noticed they're their pizzas actually getting really good, and then the long standard of Pizza Hut
Well, I decided to live on the edge a little bit
and I was also I
Mean literally just a couple minutes ago
Feeling you know maybe I'm gonna do a review to I like doing these I like getting in front of the camera and sometimes just
Having a chat to and I was kind of feeling in the mood for that and also review at the same time so I thought
why not why not spice it up a bit and
Get something interesting from Pizza Hut, maybe try it out and just talk a little bit at the same time
So that's exactly what I did the Pizza Hut this one was open pretty late. I was actually surprised at how late
It was open and I was looking around in the menu, and I decided you know they have all these specialty pizzas
It's like they're all
Completely forgotten about you know no one cares about them
They don't even promote them anymore
I mean when was the last time really that you saw any sort of promo for the backyard barbecue chicken pizza I
Myself had never seen that before I remember they used to have some stupid pizza called the giddyup
Pizza or something like that. I know I reviewed that a while back
But this is different. This is their backyard BBQ
Chicken pizza, I thought yeah, that's very interesting. I'm gonna try it out
I've never really heard of it
They have like 20 other
Pizzas on the menu that are just like this one that seems you know no one even cares about them
but they're still there and there are all these interesting flavors and
Concoctions. I don't know whatever you want to call it so I got this this pizza
I should say is hand tossed you can get it large or medium, and I got a medium this time around
the crust by default
Comes with a toasted cheddar blend on it so maybe a little crunch or something
the interesting thing about the pizza is that it comes with a
Barbecue sauce as the sauce
So it doesn't have any Tomatoes so often just honey barbecue actually comes with your standard cheese comes with little chunks of grilled chicken
bacon and usually it has
Red onions on it, but again
This is really essentially my dinner that I'm reviewing
And I didn't want to get onions because those I mean they are potent in terms of the scent
And I just didn't want to have to deal with that and have
The room in the car and whatever smell like onions for days on end
So let's take a look here now I
See it I think you see it too right now. Let me hold it up. Good to the camera here
Let's see how this lighting works. How this lighting situation works. I should say, but there's a
close-up view for maybe a few seconds too many
Rest it on the shoulder there you can see I'm kind of you know I'm looking at it myself and
There's me gracefully and a graceful manner holding the pizza ever so gracefully on my shoulder
I
Think I mean I see it
Maybe you see it, too
Where you'll see the Pete saying you might say well
You know it looks like this has been sitting out for like an hour - I mean, it doesn't really look necessarily that fresh
But I could guarantee you I mean the bottom of the box is still quite. Hot I picked this up
I you know I did turn the lights on and everything in advance
When I came in here if the Pete set immediately just started filming, so it is so fresh. I would say it's baby
maybe 10 minutes fresh 15 minutes fresh
So I don't know how long it's been sitting at the pizza hut for but it's only been in my possession
For about 10 minutes, I can still feel that it is pretty warm, but this is what it looks like at least
Anyway, let's grab a slice. That's got a real close-up view of it and
Again I got it with no onions. I didn't want to have the scent you know to deal with it
You can see right here some of the barbecue sauce that is pulled up
So they do use that instead of just your tomato sauce you can see some of the chunks of the grilled chicken right here?
And some of the baked and also so it's fairly simple. It's gonna be interesting to try out
See how it works out
So anyway, it's the backyard barbecue chicken pizza from Pizza Hut going in
Hmm
I'll try this crust in a minute oh
Did I I
guess I didn't I guess I forgot the napkins with that being said I guess in a
Memorandum of the name here as
If you were at an actual backyard barbecue you just I guess this is what they do at backyard barbecues you
Use the next best thing
Now the backyard barbecue chicken Pete's I'm going to close this to conserve its warmth
The backyard barbecue chicken pizza
It's a pizza of twists and turns, and it's something I never thought I would really use to describe a Pizza Hut pizza
But I wouldn't be lying if I said
You know it's likely though at least not maybe not the most, but one of the most adventurous pizzas. I have ever consumed
Imagine yourself it's around midnight you go to the Pizza Hut and you acquire the pizza
So you have this pizza in your possession and
You ordered it you understand, what's on at honey barbecue sauce the cheese
chicken and bacon and
you
Might expect because it's oven fresh
You might be able to smell you don't Lee aroma of the chicken. Maybe even a little bit of the barbecue sauce
That's something. You know that's how you envision it
In reality you get this pizza
You put it in the car and
It just reeks of of nachos
and
It smells rancid. You know it just smells absolutely
repulsive
And you're thinking you know what is this this this smells disgusting?
You set it up you eat it
But you can't taste the nachos I
Think in my opinion that is probably a very as I would describe it a very adventurous eating experience and in my opinion
because it gives you this impression that it smells terrible and
that you're probably going to be dry heaving even before you actually eat it and
Then you'll eat it
You can't taste the nachos the smell has absolutely no correlation to the flavor whatsoever and as a matter of fact
It's not even that bad at all
This is quite likely
Maybe my second favorite pizza from Pizza Hut
Truth be told I really haven't ever gotten this pizza before but I had that one slice and I really liked it
You know I like what I was trying so far. I really do
It's always interesting when they substitute
The standard tomato sauce with a different types. There's some pizzas that use a
buffalo, sauce some that use a barbecue sauce and
The barbecue sauce actually blends very well with everything that you have it goes well with the chicken
Well if the bacon it even complements the cheese in the crust very well, and it's a very flavorful
But sweet barbecue sauce - it has a little bit of sweet. No tang to it just a little bit of a sweetness
It's described as a honey barbecue sauce and sometimes if done right if there is a little bit of sweetness with that Pizza
It can make it taste actually very good, or it can taste disgusting
This is one of those cases where it makes it taste very good as a matter of fact so the sauce number one excellent
The cheese distribution is on point as one may describe it the cheese is fine tastes fine and a good amount of it
Next comes the chicken
Now for the sake of it, let's take a piece off right here
Right is your chicken its grilled chicken grilled chicken chunks if you want to call it that?
If you're looking for
An exact comparison and taste and this may go for the folks who have frequented
Pizza Hut
If you've ever had the boneless wings from Pizza Hut this is the exact same wing meat as that?
It's probably the boneless wings kind of cut up or the same exact type of meat there tastes exactly the same as that
There no it's still pretty juicy pretty
Flavorful and really exactly as the same exact type of cut of meat and everything that you would find in the boneless wings
but overall they put a good amount of that chicken on and
It tastes really what you would expect it to taste like her peaks of this caliber you could say
The bacon bits if there's one complaint that I have the bacon bits they put a fair amount on
But I wish I could taste some more
I mean they look like good decent sized chunks of bacon, but I really can't taste them that much
So that's my one issue
But overall I mean for what you're getting you could really taste the chicken could really taste that
Barbecue sauce I wish I could taste the bacon a little bit more, but for what it is. I do enjoy it
I'm gonna try a little bit of the crust here. Let me know what I think on that
You can really you can taste that toasted cheddar on the crust
If there's one issue with it. It's dry mm-hmm
Now one thing that I would recommend. You could get perhaps as an extra sauce they can
Provide you with dipping sauces for like 50 cents apiece, and you get a cup size of it
Maybe get some dipping sauce of whatever choice you want you mean don't marinara you can go extra BBQ
You'll get anything in between
To kind of dip the crust in because I crust there's just a little bit dry and I think a dipping sauce would complement it
Very well, but you could most certainly taste that toasted cheddar, so overall I think good. I think I pretty much wrapped up
What's what's in this pizza?
Fairly pricey, but that's Pizza Hut for you
they always have some deals and coupons you can perhaps find so this medium pizza costs $12, which again is a little expensive, but
Search online for some deals. They might have some you might be able to find something to lower the tab a little bit
But for what you're getting I say it is a pretty good pizza. You know it might seem a little bit odd
well
You know how is it in the taste of the substitution of the barbecue sauce to the?
Marinara instead of the marinara sauce, but it works up. Well the chicken is good
they put a good amount of bacon on and you might be able to taste it more on yours and
The crust itself is pretty good too, so overall at 10. I would break this pizza
And now I'm gonna give an eight point nine five out of ten eight point nine five out of ten
And I think it's deserving of that you could see that
It would get a lot higher of a rating if I could taste the bacon more
But everything that's there is still quite good as it is that's all that I have for you ladies and gentlemen
This is an informal review just a mix of kind of just miscellaneous talk and discussion
Also coupled with a pizza review as well, so I hope you enjoyed it your feedback is always most appreciated and until next time
Thank you. Take care. This is Running on Empty Food Review and uh,
