Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.In a bid to turn the tide on flagging sales, Pizza Hut has announced a major overhaul of the brand that will see its current menu ripped up and blasted with honey Sriracha sauce, salted pretzel crusts and sliced banana peppers.
You could argue that the resurgence of pizza is down to nostalgia for good, honest, simple pies, but the Hut has gone in the opposite direction, adding the sort of belly bomb toppings that seem a good idea at 2am.
Initially arriving in the US, the new flavour options will include 11 new pizzas, 10 new types of crust, six new sauces and a load of new toppings and drizzles.
The 56-year-old brand has also been given a more minimalist logo and restaurants will get new uniforms and pizza boxes.
The new menu features:
Ingredients: Sliced Banana Peppers, Peruvian Cherry Peppers, Fresh Spinach, Premium Salami, Classic Meatball
Crust Flavors: Hut Favorite, Toasted Asiago, Honey Sriracha, Salted Pretzel, Toasted Parmesan, Fiery Red Pepper, Toasted Cheddar, Garlic Buttery Blend, Ginger Boom Boom, Get Curried Away
Sauces: Classic Marinara, Premium Crushed Tomato, Garlic Parmesan, Buffalo, Barbeque, Honey Sriracha
Drizzles: Balsamic, Honey Sriracha, Barbeque, Buffalo
"This is the biggest change we've ever made," Carrie Walsh, chief marketing officer of Pizza Hut, told USA Today."We're redefining the category."
The "hundreds" of new ingredients were chosen based on what "customers told us they want", Walsh added.
