Pizza Hut will start serving four kinds of Detroit-style pan pizza nationwide today. The limited-time menu items, which are launching amid a surge in popularity for the thick-crust rectangular pizzas, will include the Double Cheesy and the Detroit Double Pepperoni with crispy, concave pepperoni slices.

Papa John's rolled out a new "Epic Stuffed Crust" pizza exclusively to members of its loyalty program this week, and the chain has big plans for using the pizza to win new fans after the pandemic, CEO Rob Lynch said. Consumers who order stuffed-crust pizzas from competitors are some of the category's biggest spenders, he said.

Pizza Hut is releasing a "Crazy Cheesy Crust" pie, with pockets in the crust stuffed with cheese and potentially other fillings to come. The chain hopes to replicate the success of the Stuffed Crust pizza, which was introduced as a test item in 1995 and became a permanent part of the menu.

Pizza Hut will roll out the "Crazy Cheesy Crust" pizza as a limited-time offering this week, as the latest effort to get more cheese into its pizza crust after the resounding success of its Stuffed Crust Pizza. This time around, the edges of the crust consist of small cheese-filled pockets that customers can pull off and eat separately.

Pizza Hut has rolled out a new version of its stuffed crust pizza, with a blend of three cheeses baked into the crust. The 3Cheese Stuffed Crust Pizza is the answer to consumers' desire for more cheese, according to Pizza Hut.
