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 the report of the week. So here we are
Now we're kind of really back to normal. We're doing a food review and
On a new pizza at that. Well, it's not a brand new pizza. It's rereleased
But you know, well, we'll go out and we'll say that it's I guess I don't know what is newly released
So I guess it is new so you got me on that one
Um, but you know new Pizza Hut pizza and it's one of their stuffed crust
Variants one of their stuffed crust derivatives. That's what they always like to go off of they always like to say we got a pizza
And it's got stuffed crust
With this or that or we're gonna make it look this way or that way or do something
Something with it and I always like the stuffed crust pizzas. I'm just a fan of them
I think they're kind of fun to eat and
Yeah, I've always been a fan of them
I always like them so it's always exciting to see a a release like that and we'll be trying that one out
I am back all suited up. So the business casual brah has not made an appearance this time around
Because you know like my collarbone was all bruised up
But now at least it's it's gotten a lot better so I can just go back to wearing the ties and whatnot
But who knows maybe one day business-casual brah shall
make the make the rounds once again, but
Sometimes a joke. I just say yeah, maybe the end of the fall just
Damaged my brain so much. That's just what I think a suit looks like
No, but you could pretend whatever it is if you want to you want to have fun with it?
but either way back to the review Pizza Hut has brought back the stuffed garlic knots pizza, and they
Originally had it back in 2016. That's when it first came out. So they already released it
Once they already said all right
It's here
They've made the rounds and now we're bringing it back
So I guess it's good enough to bring it back and unlike the grilled cheese pizza
That one has never never came back and I'm glad for it. That one wasn't I?
Wasn't a fan
Put it but yet the stuffed garlic knots pizza. What is it? Exactly? It's a stuffed crust pizza
But you know instead of having just a big stuffed crust
They have the cheese and it's a it's mind you a cheese blend that they refuse to disclose. So what exactly?
It is
No one knows if you do know the secrets as to what is in the cheese blend you got to be careful though
because I've heard rumors that if you go out and you you know you end up being
Let's say the leaker of that information as to what's in the cheese blend, you know, you open your window at 3 a.m
You look out in front of the street there and you're gonna see a vehicle with the Pizza Hut
Logo on the top just sitting there. They're on to you
So you just got to really be careful with that just tread lightly so they don't know
No one knows what the cheese blend in the crust is it's kind of on the same level as you know
What's in area 51 no one knows and they want to keep it that way. So just be ready there, but it comes with 16
stuffed garlic knots with the melted cheese
And then the garlic seasoning on top as the crust and you can pick them off you can
You know eat them independently, you can try to be like a big boy and eat a middle
You know in one sitting where you can take them off have some garlic knots with the pizza, you know
There's there's one video where the people instead of having a snowball fight
They actually took the 16 garlic knots or throwing them at each other, but I don't advocate for food fights
I'd rather you just eat them, you know, but it's yours to do with as you as you want
I'm just getting that out there and then it comes with marinara sauce as well
Price for this is around $14.99. So it's a little more expensive think about an eyelash in my eye
But it's a little more expensive but it's a novelty pizza. It's a specialty and that's what it is large pizza though
Maybe that's what I get for trying to break the news about the big cheese secret
Speaking of big it is a big pizza. Look at this box. It's like as big as I am, practically and
There it is. It says Pizza Hut
Right, they're kind of going old school. You know, it's nothing crazy
You know the Papa John's box that we were showing the last around had so much on it
but this is just says Pizza Hut with the
Little red thing up there
No one out pizzas the hut
There we go and that
Is what it looks like right there now. I got it. You could get it with any toppings that you want. There's no set
You know, you have to get it with there. So you have to get it with that. There's none of that
Instead you can just get it any toppings. So I went with pepperoni then you might say but review brah. What are those green things?
What is that?
Have you been sitting there trying to set up the shot so long then it started growing
Little patches of grass or some sort of fungi on it or what is what is that? Exactly?
No, no, and they're not jalapeno peppers either
I know I'm living on the edge right now
But no, these are just green peppers that I put on itself got green peppers and some pepperoni just changing it up a little bit
Lets us get the shot, you know, you know how it is. I
Think that's good enough, isn't it? But as you can see that there's the pizza
There's the crust and you can see comes it comes with two marinara sauces
so it actually is complementary this time around and that you can see the little
Garlic, I guess the stuffed garlic knots on the crust. I don't know what slice looks good. How about this one?
There we go
Let's get a marinara sauce. It comes in such a big box. I got to say so we're gonna do a little bit of
Transference right there and we'll just see what it tastes like
Transfer it onto the plate here, which will be for the best
little more manageable I say
naruto's pepperoni green peppers, and there's those
garlic knots right there
And so you guess to with them
Right there two
to four to
Went through all that trouble trying to get it like that. Okay. There we go
I'm just gonna take a few bites of the pizza and then we're just try out the garlic knots and that's it
It is the stuffed garlic knot
Pizza from Pizza Hut going in
I mean as with many of these pizzas
Pizza itself is pretty unremarkable. I always do one topping
I'm really show it much but I do like the green peppers just goes really well with things. You know, the pepperoni has a
greasy saltiness, but then a little bit of that that
Freshness, I would say of the green peppers. It's just really nice. It adds a little bit of like it offsets
That doesn't get too much
but it has that little bit of a
Just a crisp to it
You know
I like it the firm in its best way to put it and the sauce is a little more robust than I remember it which
is nice it's nice anyway, but
Pizza is unremarkable now, lets us try out the crust which is what everyone wants to see coming in
They call that the void right there
It's just like their stuffed crust but just a little more doughy and that I do it has a lot more garlic seasoning to it
Doesn't say to shake well, anyway
Don't have a problem with it honestly, you know, the last time the structural integrity was a little worse
But this time good for dipping too even in this
Dip it in right there
It's flavorful my one complaint that I have is I mean if you look in there right, it's not the most cheesy
It's like the whole thing is stuffed of cheese, you know, you see a little bit where it's settled to the bottom
But a lot of it is like an air pocket, you know, that's my one complaint not to say that it's totally lacking
In terms of cheese, it's just that I wish it was a little more cheesy, you know
Overall though I would say
It's a novelty pizza so it could be a little fun to eat
Like I said, it's just something that I think if you like the stuffed crust pizzas
You'll like this just the one thing you have to anticipate before you eat
It is that it's not gonna be the world's cheesiest pizza. And that's the again. That's my one principle complaint. It tastes totally fine
I don't have any problem with the flavors. I like that. There's a lot of garlic seasoning on the crust this time
That's it's a great touch. I really like that
Marinara sauce is of course really good accompaniment not an issue
It's like it tastes rancid or disgusting or I'm sitting here
You know rolling around on top of the table for some weird reason. It's no it's totally fine
So taste wise no problems again. I just wish it was a little cheese here
I think if you want that extra cheese just go with the stuffed crust will be more cheese there
But otherwise again, it's a fun novelty. You can rip it off. You can dip it in the marinara sauce
Plus, I like that it does come with it. But yeah, it's just my one issue
I just wish there's more cheese in it. And that's you know, that's my main complaint
So I mean easily
it's a fixable issue, but
Yeah, that's us my one thing. So therefore out of 10, I mean price-wise. I mean it's it's you know
It's a fair price. It's like you're getting pizza and garlic knots price is what it is
It's a novelty and it's a big pizza.
Wish it was cheesier but flavor-wise, it's all fine out of ten
you know, I'm gonna give it a
Well, it's it's it's around the average mark, so I would give it a five point seven out of ten, because again
It's average. It's exactly what you would expect and while there are a lot of things that I like again
just the fact that it's not as cheesy as I would have hoped for is this to what prevents me from rating it a little
Higher, but otherwise, I don't have a problem with it go out. Try it out if you'd like and
Yeah, some garlic knots and your pizza's that's what it comes down to and that's the stuff garlic knots pizza from Pizza Hut
Hope you enjoyed the review. That's all that I have for you. I'm your host the report of the week
