The Pizza Hut Italian Taco has been created in response to the Mexican Pizza from Taco Bell for patrons to try as a cheeky take on classic Latin cuisine. The tongue-in-cheek menu item is simply a piece of the brand's signature pizza folded into a taco shape to give it a new form for patrons to try. The Italian Taco is described by the brand as being a hand-tossed taco shell that's stuffed with ample marinara sauce along with mozzarella cheese and your choice of additional toppings.
The Pizza Hut Italian Taco was unveiled on the brand's TikTok account and coincides with the return of Mexican Pizza from Taco Bell, which is slated to be available at participating locations September 15.
