For Pizza Hut’s latest limited time offering, the chain has combined two comfort foods into one — pizza and the grilled cheese sandwich.

The Grilled Cheese Stuffed Crust Pizza features cheddar and mozzarella cheese stuffed into the crust. To complete the grilled cheese sandwich experience, the end crust is also topped with toasted breadcrumbs and melted butter. Sadly, Pizza Hut doesn’t offer a tomato soup dipping sauce.

A large one-topping Grilled Cheese Stuffed Pizza is available for $12.99 at participating locations.
