Pizza Hut unveils new beefy savory item to menu

Pizza Hut is trying something new.

The American multinational pizza restaurant chain has entered the burger making business with a new take on how to burger — minus the soggy buns.

Starting today, cheeseburger lovers can try the all new Cheeseburger Melt available at participating locations.

"As a brand known for exceptional pizzas, venturing into the burger business is an exciting first for us," said Lindsay Morgan, Chief Marketing Officer at Pizza Hut.

Pizza Hut's Cheeseburger Melt is thin parmesan-crust melt folded and loaded with beef, applewood-smoked bacon, onions, mozzarella, and cheddar, served with burger sauce on the side according to a report.

"For the first time ever, we packed everything you know and love about a cheeseburger into our craveable Thin N' Crispy crust to develop the new Cheeseburger Melt," said Rachel Antalek, Chief Food Innovation Officer at Pizza Hut.

The Cheeseburger Melt is included in the new My Hut Box offer that allows guests to choose between melts or a two-topping personal pan pizza that features a side of fries or four boneless wings and a drink.

"Unlike a traditional cheeseburger, the Cheeseburger Melt dips perfectly into what we would argue is the world's best burger dipping sauce. We challenge you to find a better burger and sauce experience," said Antalek.

My Hut Box and Cheeseburger Melts are offered for a limited time only at select participating locations. My Hut Box Pricing varies based on selection. Check for local locations here.
