If you appreciate a good crunch in your pizza crust, you will love the Doritos crust from Pizza Hut. Their new Doritos Crunchy Crust Pizza takes their famous mozzarella cheese-stuffed crust and adds melted cheddar and covers it with crumbled nacho corn chip pieces on top. Currently this specialty pie is only available from Pizza Hut in Australia, and is therefore (unfortunately) unavailable in the United States. The limited time offer can come with absolutely any topping too, so you can go beyond the standard pepperoni.
Pizza Hut also just ran a social media contest where they gave away ten pizza vouchers for $100 to people who shared their pictures of the Doritos crust pizza online along with the hashtag #PizzaHutCrunch. The promotion ran for about a day.
