All good things must come to an end, and even the tastiest of foods don’t stay on the
menu forever.
Here are 10 discontinued Pizza Hut items we desperately miss.
So, let’s dig in.
Sicilian Lasagna Pizza
Everyone loves Lasagna, not just Garfield.
It’s tasty on its own, but it’s even better combined with pizza.
The Ninja Turtles would approve.
Pizza Hut’s Sicilian Lasagna Pizza was a match made in heaven.
It debuted way back in 2006 when Justin Timberlake brought sexy back.
The innovative pizza was an immediate success with fast food aficionados, but it was only
on the menu for a limited time.
Foodies who couldn’t get their hands on one had a serious case of FOMO.
Fans have been begging Pizza Hut to bring back this unique pie, but they haven’t had
any luck so far.
Pizza Hut didn’t just haphazardly combine pizza with lasagna to create the Sicilian
Lasagna Pizza.
Skilled food scientists worked around the clock to get the Sicilian Lasagna Pizza just
right.
For starters, the noodles were left on the sidelines.
That would simply be too many carbs.
The pizza was topped with ground beef, Parmesan, and ricotta cheese - all essential ingredients
for a mouth-watering Lasagna.
The result was a combo that looked and tasted similar to a Chicago deep-dish pizza.
Pizza Hut could have ended the Chicago / New York rivalry once and for all because everyone
loved the Sicilian Lasagna Pizza.
If you want to see the Sicilian Lasagna Pizza return, keep dreaming.
Pizza Hut has no plans to bring it back.
Twisted Crust Pizza
Pizza first or crust first?
It was tough to decide in the early 2000s when Pizza Hut introduced the Twisted Crust
Pizza.
Let’s face it, pizza crust is not the most exciting piece of the pie.
However, Pizza Hut had an ingenious solution - no more bland pizza crust.
The outer edge of the Twisted Crust pizza was made of tasty breadsticks instead of a
boring old traditional crust.
How clever.
The breadstick crust was perfect for dipping in ranch or marinara.
Pizza Hut even offered a new gooey cheese dip for dunking.
Everyone was ripping and dipping - Twisted Crust Pizza was more popular than Pogs.
If the twisted crust pizza was around today, Korean mukbangers would be having a field
day.
It was a pizza that was truly ahead of its time, and it’s frankly shocking that it
went the way of the dinosaurs.
Pizza Hut did try to revive the Twisted Crust Pizza in 2015, but nostalgia wasn’t enough
to make it a success.
Fans hated the new Twisted Crust Pizza and complained that it tasted nothing like the
original.
Pizza Hut clearly didn’t learn from the New Coke fiasco.
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
The Twisted Crust Pizza also saved folks a lot of money.
Why order a side of breadsticks when the crust itself is made of breadsticks?
Maybe that’s why Pizza Hut discontinued the Twisted Crust Pizza.
There’s clearly money to be made in the breadstick business.
You don’t get to be as big as the Hut by giving away free breadsticks.
Pizza Hut Salad Bar
Pizza Hut is a lot different today than it was in the late 80s and early 90s.
Back then, Pizza Hut was actually a sit down restaurant complete with arcade machines,
gaudy maroon booths and stained glass light fixtures.
Imagine the bar from Cheers as a pizzeria.
Salad bars reigned supreme and birthday parties were held there almost every day.
Nowadays Chuck E. Cheese has the market cornered on birthday parties.
Pizza Hut even had waiters back in the day.
Today, a sit down Pizza Hut is rarer than a holographic Charizard card.
Take out and delivery are pretty much your only options if you’re craving Pizza Hut.
Millennials are pining for the days you could make your own salad at Pizza Hut, but you
can’t stop progress.
The salad bar will likely never return to Pizza Hut.
The last few sit down Pizza Huts in the United States are on their last legs.
Pizza Hut’s corporate owner, Yum Brands, recently reduced the number of sit down Pizza
Huts in the United States to just under 7,000 locations.
The sit down Pizza Hut is sadly going the way of Blockbuster.
If you really want to make your own salad at Pizza Hut, then you’ll have to take a
trip across the pond.
Many Pizza Huts in the UK still have salad bars.
You can enjoy a Pizza Hut Caesar salad with your Earl Grey tea.
Taco Pizza
Taco Tuesday or Pizza Friday?
How about Taco Pizza every day?
It sure sounds great, but it’s probably not going to happen any time soon.
Pizza Hut’s Taco Pizza was incredibly popular way back in 1979, but there’s almost no
chance this unique pizza is going to make a comeback.
Most original fans of the Taco Pizza are probably chilling in Florida and enjoying retirement,
but they’re still begging Pizza Hut to bring back this legendary fast food hybrid.
The Pizza Hut Taco Pizza was more than just a pizza with a Mexican twist.
It featured a delicious blend of cheeses, refried beans, ground beef, lettuce, and crisp
tomatoes - all essential ingredients for a delicious taco.
But that’s not all.
It also came with a side of Pace Picante sauce for dipping.
Now that’s a spicy pizza!
The only thing missing was the taco shell, but who needs a crunchy corn tortilla when
you have pizza crust?
There are rumors that some Pizza Hut locations will still make the Taco Pizza if you ask
nicely, but it’s not as simple as just placing an order online.
For a short time in 2004, it seemed like the Taco Pizza would be back for good, but Pizza
Hut’s Fiesta Taco Pizza was short lived.
Maybe one day we’ll see the Taco Pizza on the menu for good.
Panormous Pizza
The Panormous pizza was big enough to feed an army - even Matt Stonie would need a few
extra minutes to down this ginormous pizza.
Sadly, the Panormous pizza went the way of the dodo, and it’s not currently on the
Pizza Hut menu.
However, Pizza Hut has brought it back before, so never say never.
The Panormous pizza was the perfect Super Bowl snack because it was 40 percent larger
than any other Pizza Hut pizza - at least that’s what Pizza Hut claimed.
Pizza Hut was probably being truthful, but most foodies were too full to actually get
out a ruler and double check.
The Panormous pizza wasn’t just large, it was also rectangular.
Little Caesar’s would like a word please.
As impressive as the Panormous pizza was, it was also sort of redundant.
You can order two pan pizzas and get even more.
After all, one pizza is never enough.
The Panormous pizza was an incredible bargain back in 2009.
You could get a whole Panormous pizza for just $12.99 – that was just over 80 cents
a slice.
If pizza was still that cheap today, you’d probably be eating at Pizza Hut all the time.
Big Italy Pizza
$12 bucks for a two foot long pizza?
Deals don’t get much better than that.
Pizza Hut must have been losing boatloads of money on the Big Italy.
There’s no other explanation for why this pizza was discontinued.
The Big Italy was the ultimate mix and match pizza.
It could be ordered with up to three toppings, so the combinations were almost limitless.
We frankly don’t have time to list all the options available, but there were plenty of
choices for both meat eaters and vegetarians alike.
The Big Italy pie made headlines in 2010 when Pizza Hut gave away 1000 gift cards to hungry
fans to celebrate the launch of the Big Italy Pizza.
The gift cards were only worth $15 dollars, but that was more than enough for a Big Italy
Pizza.
There was money left over for a drink.
You probably want to get in a time machine so you can score a Big Italy Pizza for yourself,
but don’t be so hasty.
There’s always a chance Pizza Hut could bring it back - a slim chance, but there’s
still hope.
Hershey’s Chocolate Dunkers
Is there a better combination than chocolate and pizza?
We don’t mean together, but a nice brownie or some chocolate ice cream is the perfect
way to top off a pizza dinner.
It makes absolutely no sense that Pizza Hut stopped selling Hershey’s chocolate dunkers.
These chocolate breadsticks were an extremely tasty treat and the perfect complement to
a piping hot pepperoni pizza.
Fans were having serious sugar withdrawals when Pizza Hut took Hershey’s chocolate
dunkers off the menu, and some chocoholics were so desperate that they even started making
their own dunkers at home.
Even a baker as skilled as Rachel Ray wouldn’t be able to perfect the recipe, so it was a
futile effort.
Hersey’s chocolate dunkers were tasty, but they were far from perfect.
They tasted great fresh out of the oven, but if you left them out too long, they would
turn into a chocolate brick.
Some foodies miss the dunkers so much that they started petitions to bring back the chocolatey
breadsticks.
So far, the petitions have fallen on deaf ears.
Pizza Hut just doesn’t care.
Is it really too much to ask for some pizza dough and Hershey’s chipits?
That’s pretty much all they were, so why is Pizza Hut being so difficult?
Oh well, that just means more customers for Domino’s.
A chocolate lava cake is almost as good as a box of Hershey’s chocolate dunkers.
Triple Decker Pizza
The 90s were a much simpler time.
Norm Macdonald was hosting Weekend Update and the Beastie Boys were tearing up the charts.
It was also the decade of insane food items.
Pizza Hut’s Triple Decker Pizza was no exception.
It was the poster child for gluttony, and - as they said in the 90s - totally radical.
The Triple Decker Pizza had a lot in common with the Big Mac and Crunch wrap supreme.
This pizza was all about layers.
The first layer was a delicate thin crust and layer two consisted of a generous portion
of Pizza Hut’s six cheese blend.
The top layer consisted of yet another thin crust, plenty of toppings, and even more extremely
gooey cheese.
The result was an artery clogging pizza unlike any other.
Even keto dieters couldn’t resist this carb-tastic pie.
Unfortunately, the Triple Decker Pizza was canceled, and it probably won’t be making
a miraculous return.
Pizza Hut has no plans to bring back the Triple Decker Pizza, but you could always wish upon
a falling star.
Hot dog stuffed crust pizza
Stuffed crust pizza put Pizza Hut on the map, but the fast food chain wanted to take things
to the next level.
That’s where the hot dog stuffed crust pizza came in.
Cheese inside the crust is one thing, but putting hot dogs inside the crust is even
wilder.
The Epic Meal Time folks would be mighty proud.
Pizza Hut’s hot dog stuffed crust pizza was not long for this world, and maybe that's
a good thing.
Who knows how many heart attacks it caused?
To make this bizarre concoction, Pizza Hut put miniature Angus beef hot dogs inside the
pizza crust.
Basically, it was a pepperoni pizza surrounded by a ring of pigs in a blanket.
The pizza even came with French’s mustard and Heinz ketchup for dipping.
It probably wasn’t very popular in Chicago where putting ketchup on a hot dog is a sin.
The hot dog stuffed crust pizza debuted in the UK before making its way to the land of
Ryan Reynolds.
After debuting in Canada in 2015, the pizza made its way to South Korea.
After K-Pop stars had their fill, the pizza finally debuted in the good old US of A.
A brand new Star Wars movie and hot dog stuffed crust pizza?
Yeah, 2015 was a pretty good year.
The P’zolo
Back in 2012, Pizza Hut set its sights on Subway in an effort to become the new sandwich
king.
It was a bold strategy, but it didn’t pay off.
Unfortunately, Pizza Hut’s P’zolo was no match for the legendary five dollar footlong.
The P’zolo was half Stromboli and half sandwich, but it also sort of resembled a pizza pocket
- a pizza pocket on steroids.
It was also similar to a calzone.
That’s probably why it failed.
The P’zolo featured a soft golden crust and came in three flavors: buffalo chicken,
meat trio, and Italian steak.
Pizza Hut clearly had meat lovers in mind when creating the P’zolo.
The meat trio P’zolo was stuffed full of pepperoni, sausage, and ham.
It was truly a dish fit for Ron Swanson.
The Buffalo chicken P’zolo was a slightly healthier option.
Foodies who got to try one said the chicken was juicy and spicy.
It tasted better dipped in ranch.
The Italian steak P’zolo wasn’t Kobe beef, but what would you expect for $3 dollars?
Even though the steak was subpar, it still had its fans.
The cheese, onions, mushrooms, and bell peppers complemented the steak quite nicely and made
for a filling meal.
However, not everyone was a fan of the P’zolo.
Some folks even said it was a P’zero.
Based on that reaction, don’t expect Pizza Hut to ever bring back the P’zolo.
Even dipping the P’zolo in marinara didn’t help things - some folks just hated it.
