The Pizza Hut Supper Club launched as a first-of-its-kind experiment and fine-dining experience that saw acclaimed chef Yanis Yahoui turn back-of-house Pizza Hut ingredients into a curated gastronomic experience for eight culinary experts. "We wanted our quality ingredients to speak for themselves, so we stripped away the branding and presented them in a new form," said Caroline Wylie, Marketing Manager, Pizza Hut MEA. "By serving them 'out of context,' we challenged culinary experts to see if they could detect 'fast food', or if the finest quality would shine through."
The Pizza Hut Supper Club was created to launch the second phase of Pizza Hut's food provenance platform and underscore the ingredient quality that goes into every pizza.
