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

Pizza Hut\u2019s Stuffed Crust Pizza was a mind-blowing idea when it first came out. Pizza fanatics rejoiced. Nutritionists cried. Dairy farmers pumped their fists and shouted, \u201cKa-ching!\u201d And dairy cows yelled, \u201cMoo!\u201d <\/p>\n

I was super excited about it. But after eating a slice I realized the problem with the Stuffed Crust Pizza was the fact the cheese inside wasn\u2019t different than what\u2019s on the pizza. So if you were to take a bite of it with the pizza, it would pretty much taste like a normal pizza with a double dose of mozzarella cheese.<\/p>\n

But Pizza Hut is doing something different with their new Grilled Cheese Stuffed Crust Pizza. There\u2019s a little mozzarella in there, but the big cheese is, um, cheddar. <\/p>\n

Yeah, I don\u2019t know what uppity artisan sandwich shop the folks who work at Pizza Hut\u2019s test kitchen eat at for fancy grilled cheese sandwiches, but for us regular folks, our grilled cheese sandwiches have good ol\u2019 U.S. of American cheese that\u2019s as American as the idea of a grilled cheese stuffed crust pizza. So why doesn\u2019t the orange goo contain it?<\/p>\n

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

The crust is also topped with butter and breadcrumbs. Not a sprinkling of breadcrumbs, but enough to make some slices look like they’re connected to a chicken cutlet. They also provide a satisfying crunch that the actual crust does not. <\/p>\n

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

The ends were quite flat. I don\u2019t know if my pizza was made the right way, but it looks like a bean bag chair that lost a war between it and the butts of an entire football team\u2019s offensive and defensive lines. I thought there wouldn\u2019t be a lot of cheese in it, but as I pulled a slice away, a crown of orange goo peaked out from the crust.<\/p>\n

The flavor combination of cheese, butter, crust, and breadcrumbs, doesn\u2019t remind me of a grilled cheese sandwich, but then again, my grilled cheese sandwiches don\u2019t use cheddar or mozzarella. But with the added garlic in the butter, it tastes more like cheesy garlic bread than a grilled cheese sandwich. That\u2019s not a bad thing. I liked its flavor even though it was not what I was expecting. Maybe cheesy garlic bread is what grilled cheese sandwiches at uppity artisan sandwich shops taste like.<\/p>\n

While I enjoyed the crust, I thought combining bites of it with the pizza were odd. Not gross, just different because of the cheddar. The pizza itself was typical Pizza Hut fare, so I won’t go into any further detail about that. <\/p>\n

The whole point of Pizza Hut\u2019s Stuffed Crust Pizza is to encourage us to eat the crust, and I think it was successful with this pizza. The crust was saltier than the pizza itself and I wish it came with a container of tomato soup as a dip, but I have to say this is the first time I felt like eating the end crust and throwing away the pizza, instead of eating the pizza and throwing away the end crust.<\/p>\n
