Pizza Hut and Cheez-It have joined forces to create the Stuffed Cheez-It Pizza, available nationwide as a limited-time offer (LTO).
The Stuffed Cheez-It Pizza features four baked jumbo squares topped with cheese and baked. Each square is stuffed with either cheese or pepperoni and cheese and served with a side of marinara dipping sauce.
“We pride ourselves on being the go-to for unexpected pizza innovations, and I can’t think of a more badass partner than Cheez-It to bring our next original menu item to life,” said Marianne Radley, chief brand officer, Pizza Hut. “Not to mention, as fellow NCAA partners, this collab is the perfect way to kick off football season, combining America’s go-to gameday cravings into one next-level snack.”
This partnership was born from more than just a fun idea. Not only are customers craving these kinds of mashups between beloved food brands more and more, Cheez-It is a popular snack among one of Pizza Hut’s largest fan bases — college students.
The Pizza Hut culinary dream team worked with Cheez-It to create a product that ties the best of both pizza and Cheez-It worlds into one new innovation that’s delivering exactly what customers want.
Pizza Hut, a subsidiary of Yum! Brands Inc., operates over 18,000 restaurants in more than 100 countries. Pizza Hut offers easy order options, including the Pizza Hut app, mobile site, and Amazon and Google devices, as well as a loyalty program that offers points for every dollar spent.
Kellogg Company brands include Pringles, Cheez-It, Special K, Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes, Pop-Tarts, Kellogg’s Corn Flakes, Rice Krispies, Eggo, Mini-Wheats, Kashi, RXBAR, MorningStar Farms and more.
“Kellogg’s iconic Cheez-It brand brings a whole new dining experience to Pizza Hut lovers and will not disappoint,” said Wendy Davidson, President, Kellogg’s U.S. Specialty Channels. “The Stuffed Cheez-It Pizza is an example of two great companies leveraging their strengths to delight guests with a new experience on a classic favorite.”
