\"Pizza<\/a><\/p>\n

When it comes to garlic, I like enough of it on whatever I\u2019m eating to make folks stay out of my personal space. Close talker\u2026smell the garlic. Vampire\u2026smell the garlic. Hugger\u2026smell the garlic. Dentist\u2026smell the garlic. <\/p>\n

I thought I\u2019d be getting a lot of garlic on the end crust of Pizza Hut\u2019s new Stuffed Garlic Knots Pizza, but unfortunately, or fortunate for those who invade my personal space, there wasn\u2019t a lot of the pungent ingredient.<\/p>\n

Each pizza has 16 stuffed garlic knots around the edges. Wait\u2026did I say \u201cknots\u201d? I meant to say \u201cnot knots.\u201d They didn\u2019t have the distinct look of the garlic knots Google Images showed me. They\u2019re more like balls or puffs, and they\u2019re kind of big. They take up enough space on the large pizza to make the inner part of it look more like a medium.<\/p>\n

\"Pizza<\/a><\/p>\n

Each not knot was topped with a combination of garlic, herbs, butter, and parmesan cheese. A toasted parmesan cheese flavor stood out, but, as I mentioned earlier, I barely noticed the garlic. The cheese inside the not knots tasted like the standard stuff that’s in their regular Stuffed Crust Pizza. It wasn\u2019t gooey when I bit into it and most were filled with more air than cheese. Because there isn\u2019t a lot of cheese, its flavor gets lost in the dough and whatever little garlic and herb flavor there was.<\/p>\n

\"Pizza<\/a><\/p>\n

The pizza is similar to Pizza Hut\u2019s Twisted Crust Pizza in that the appetizer doesn’t make up the entire end crust. Instead, it’s like a sheet of stickers. You know, the ones you put on your Trapper Keeper or composition book. Once you peel off the stickers, you’re left with something that has no redeeming qualities, so you just throw it away. Once the garlic knots are peeled away, what’s left behind is unappetizing, mostly unflavored bread. Mine was particularly unappealing because it was slightly undercooked. <\/p>\n

\"Pizza<\/a><\/p>\n

Thankfully the pizza comes with two containers of marinara sauce for dipping. It gave the not knots a bit more flavor, which they definitely needed. But, depending on your double dipping disposition, it might not be enough for dipping the not knots AND the crust that lies beneath them. <\/p>\n

As for the rest of the pizza, it\u2019s a typical Pizza Hut fare. My pizza could\u2019ve used more sauce under the cheese, but it was fine. The pizza itself was much more enjoyable and flavorful than the not knots attached to it. <\/p>\n

Overall, the Stuffed Garlic Knots Pizza wasn\u2019t horrible, but I wouldn\u2019t order it again. If I want a pizza with a garlicky crust stuffed with cheese to prevent folks from coming into my personal space, I could just order a regular Stuffed Crust Pizza with their Garlic Buttery Blend crust flavoring.<\/p>\n

\nPurchased Price:<\/b> $17.99*
\nSize:<\/b> N\/A
\nPurchased at:<\/b> Pizza Hut
\nRating:<\/b> 5 out of 10
\nPros:<\/b> Marinara sauce was the sugar that helped the medicine go down. Lots of pepperoni on my pizza. Inner pizza was more enjoyable than the outer pizza.
\nCons:<\/b> Stuffed garlic knots are more like stuffed garlic balls. Bad air-to-cheese ratio. The garlic knots’ size make the pizza look smaller. The crust under the garlic knots was unappealing bread. Not enough marinara sauce to dip garlic knots AND undercrust. Undercrust being a made up word.<\/p>\n
