The Pizza Hut creation won over the hearts of people with its [crispy crust](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheddar-crust-pizza) and soft, chewy center and the new version of this pizza "boasts an even crispier golden-brown crust and more flavorful blend of cheese and sauce." Additionally, the new version of [Pizza Hut's Original Pan Pizza](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hut-lovers) also promises a perfected ratio of the cheese and sauce blend, plus state-of-the-art pan technology to create the well-balanced textures fans love. This reinvented classic from Pizza Hut can be enjoyed in a number of ways—by delivery, carryout or dine-in at nationwide Pizza Hut locations. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.3/10 - Popularity: 22% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Original Pan Pizza Revival:** Reintroducing fan-favorite food items can give businesses a boost in revenue and customer loyalty. - **Improved Food Creation:** Innovating existing menu items with new and improved ingredients and technology can attract more customers and keep them coming back. - **Customizable Takeout Options:** Providing options for customers to customize their takeout orders can improve customer satisfaction and retention. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fast Food:** Fast food chains can improve their revenue and customer base by innovating their menu. - **Pizza Delivery:** Pizza delivery businesses can differentiate themselves by offering customizable options and improved food creations. - **Restaurant Chains:** Restaurant chains can attract more customers by improving and reintroducing fan-favorite menu items. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Personal Pizza Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/personal-pan-pizza-hut.md) - [Oversized 90s Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-big-new-yorker.md) - [Detroit-Style Fast-Food Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/detroit-style-pizzas.md) - [Crispy Handcrafted Pizza Crusts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pizza-hut-handcrafted-crust.md) - [Regional 1930s-Inspired Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chicago-tavernstyle-pizza.md) - [Mini Pizza Pop-Up Venues](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pizza-hut-4.md) - [Crunchy Crust Pan Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toppers-pizza-pan-pizza.md) - [Hand-Crafted Personal Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crafted-flatzz.md) - [Cheese-Filled Pizza Crusts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheese-stuffed-crust.md)
