<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It was a surprise to me when I heard Pizza Hut was \u201crepairing\u201d its Pan Pizza recipe, changing the type of cheese and, more important, utilizing a new baking method meant to \u201cenhance\u201d the crust\u2019s flavor. I really didn\u2019t know people even had a problem with it.<\/p>\n
Recently, I went to the neighborhood Pizza Hut down the street from my house and ordered, for myself, a Personal Pan Pizza, making sure from the pizza-barista that they utilize this new process at about a fourth the size, just like they do their full-size. Confirmed and comfortable, I ordered one with pepperoni. The smell of the baking pizza floated about the small building, enticing me in a way the Hut never had before.<\/p>\n
Brought to my table \u2014 that was fully emblazoned with Wing Street logos, natch \u2014 I opened up the adorable miniature pizza box and, after snapping a couple of pictures, gently pulled a small slice from the somewhat larger pie, the new cheese stringing across the box like it was being filmed for a recent commercial campaign.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Full steam ahead, I bit into the pan pizza; the cheese was notably different right from the start \u2014 a bit more heavy than usual and with somewhat more of a fuller bite \u2014 it was definitely an improvement on the old recipe. Using a part-skim mozzarella cheese, there seems to be far more of it, making it a wonderfully cheesy mess. The tomato sauce, additionally, melded very well to the cheese, pairing together like some well-worn partners in pizza-esque crime.<\/p>\n
But, and this was what made it for me, the crust tasted absolutely new and improved. The buttery richness of the baked dough made me want a loaf of this as a crispy bread, with maybe the aforementioned melted cheese as a cruel dipping sauce of sorts. Can we get on this idea, Pizza Hut?<\/p>\n
While the calorie count, even for a Personal, is quite loaded at 610 calories, it might be worth it on a special cheat day just to desperately try these modern improvements in the pizza-making abilities of Pizza Hut, no matter how long you\u2019ve been away from or how often you likely go to the Hut.
