Pizza Hut UK's newest limited edition release is a festive Christmas Pizza available just in time for the 2020 holiday season. The pizza boasts a hearty flavor profile and is topped with "rotisserie chicken, bacon, sage and onion stuffing and a red wine gravy base instead of pizza sauce."
Inspired by a classic holiday Sunday roast, the Christmas Pizza can be customized with Pizza Hut's Classic Crust, Pan Crust or Stuffed Crust. Consumers looking to pair the pizza with dessert can also check out Pizza Hut UK's new and warmed up Triple Choc-Chip Cookie Dough cookie that is sold with a side of vanilla ice cream.
With many social distancing this holiday as a result of COVID-19, fast food brands are elevating Christmas offerings in order to meet growing desires for restaurant-like experiences that can be enjoyed at home.
