Between a VERY Italian father and great local pizza joints, Pizza Hut was reserved for classroom parties and that one friend&#8217;s house that had a thick layer of dust in their kitchen from non-use.<\/p>\n<p>I liked it fine, but it was just never part of my childhood. As an adult, it&#8217;s become a fairly common staple of my diet. Between the ease of getting it and some late in life rebellion against my Dad, it has become a once a month meal for me. While I usually stay within my same order, the large banner advertising the return of The Edge Crustless Pizza caught my attention.<\/p>\n<p>The Edge isn&#8217;t a new item but a rerelease of a product that debuted in 1997. Described as a &#8220;tavern style, cracker thin crust pizza,&#8221; it sees the toppings go all the way to the edge (get it, like the name?), making each slice 100% covered in toppings. It&#8217;s cut into squares, aka &#8220;party cut,&#8221; giving you 16 pieces. The tavern style was actually created in Chicago, which was news to me as I only thought of the deep dish style as the only popular pizza from Chicago.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/pizzahutedge2.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"PIzza Hut The Edge Pizza Whole\" title=\"pizzahutedge2.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When you order, you are given an option of four recipes: Ultimate, Carnivore, Vegetarian, or Pepperoni Lover&#8217;s. For what it&#8217;s worth, it appears like you can change the toppings once you select one of the recipes, but for the sake of trying it as it&#8217;s presented, I went with the Ultimate. The Ultimate includes pepperoni, Italian sausage, green peppers, onions, and Roma tomatoes.<\/p>\n<p>The first thing I noticed was the branding of The Edge on the box. Upon opening it, the consistently comforting smell of Pizza Hut pizza filled the room. However, looking at it, I noticed an issue immediately: the lack of sausage. After debating if I should get it fixed, I decided it wasn&#8217;t worth the trouble. There were more than enough toppings to judge it fairly, and (after trying it) I can say the sausage most likely wouldn&#8217;t have moved the needle much in either direction.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/pizzahutedge3.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"PIzza Hut The Edge Pizza Thinness\" title=\"pizzahutedge3.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/pizzahutedge5.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"PIzza Hut The Edge Pizza Seasoning\" title=\"pizzahutedge5.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Even though I knew it would be a thin crust, it was still shockingly thin. Despite its thinness, it stood up very well. There was a good balance of the sauce, cheese, and toppings that worked with the crust making each bite balanced in flavor and crispiness. The box bragged of a &#8220;garlic &#038; herb seasoning&#8221; sprinkled on top, but was inconsistently present.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/pizzahutedge4.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"PIzza Hut The Edge Pizza Pieces Image\" title=\"pizzahutedge4.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Beyond the missing sausage, my only other criticism was the pieces themselves. Technically, it is 16 pieces, but it&#8217;s more like &#8220;12 normal size pieces and four random bits.&#8221; Oh, and because it&#8217;s thinner, I could easily polish off a whole one which is incredibly dangerous.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, it&#8217;s a nice change of pace, but nothing I&#8217;d make a regular order. It dawned on me how this will be a nice summer pizza. It&#8217;s light, so you don&#8217;t feel heavy after eating half of it, but it satisfies that pizza craving. The Edge is only around for a limited time, so I&#8217;d try it sooner than later.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchased Price:<\/strong> $12.99<br \/>\n<strong>Size:<\/strong> N\/A<br \/>\n<strong>Rating:<\/strong> 7 out of 10<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> (1 \u201cslice\u201d) 180 calories, 10 grams of fat, 5 grams of saturated fat, 25 milligrams of cholesterol, 680 milligrams of sodium, 13 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of fiber, 2 grams of sugar, and 10 grams of protein.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was, admittedly, a late bloomer when it comes to Pizza Hut.
