In the old days, the weirdest thing people put on pizza was pineapple. That was then. This is now. The chains are selling Philly Cheesesteak pizzas, Buffalo Chicken pizzas, and so on.
And now, Pizza Hut is testing out one that has pickles on it. The new Pizza Hut Pickle Pizza starts with a hand tossed crust, sauced with Buttermilk Ranch, and topped with cheese, crispy breaded chicken breast seasoned with a kick of Nashville Hot Seasoning, sliced white onions, and then loaded with spicy dill pickles and a drizzle of Buttermilk Ranch to finish it off.
“We’re always looking for innovative ways to add new tastes and textures to our dishes, and pickles have been gaining popularity due to their versatility,” says Penny Shaheen, Head of Food Innovation, at Pizza Hut. “With our new Pickle Pizza, we’re tapping into the latest food trends while also putting culinary thought into how they come to life on a pizza. Our recipe is all about great flavor, balancing the tanginess of pickles with other classic ingredients we know taste good on our beloved pizza.”
As of now, the Pickle Pizza will only be available at select stores in Manhattan through the weekend. Hopefully, it does really well, and they expand it nationwide because I love pizza and pickles. And it is all about me.
