Pizza Hut Restaurants (PHR) will this week test every pizza and beer-lovers’ dream: the craft beer-infused dough pizza. To work with the UK’s growing craft brewing scene, two versions of this ‘match made in heaven’ will be available to try for free – The Steak Feast and The American Hot.
Customers will need to get them fast as these limited edition pizzas will only be available to trial at the Finchley Lido Hut, on Friday 20thMay, while stocks last. Guests can try these tasty new dishes for free at the newly refurbished flagship restaurant – part of PHR’s nationwide £60 million investment programme.
To enjoy one of these specials all customers will need to do is whisper the following secret words, ‘I Like it Hop’, to their waiter/waitress when ordering and purchasing a beer of their choice at the select Hut.
These beer-infused pizza bases will be served as:
- The Steak Feast – topped with a three-cheese blend, succulent shaved steak pieces, mushrooms, caramelised onions and a spring onion garnish served on a beer BBQ sauce
- The American Hot (vegetarian) – topped with a three-cheese blend, sweetcorn, mushrooms, caramelised onions, roquito chills, jalapenos and a spring onion garnish served on a beer BBQ sauce
Kath Austin, Director of HR and Marketing at Pizza Hut Restaurants, said: “We know that craft beers are really popular right now and we’re celebrating this not just by adding craft beers to our menus, but also by adding this to our pizza dough. We also know that for many of our customers nothing beats enjoying their favourite pizza with an ice-cold beer, so we thought this would be the perfect culinary union.
“It took our team many hours to perfect the recipes and flavour combinations, but all of their hard work definitely paid off as we’re thrilled with the results and can’t wait for our customers to try them. We’re proud to be the first chain in the UK to trial a beer-infused dough base, and look forward to hopefully rolling these out nationwide if they prove popular.”
The beer-infused dough pizzas perfectly complement other new American-inspired menu items including frickles (fried pickles), sweet potato fries, the Ultimate Thin pizza, hot cookie dough and waffles. Many new look restaurants also now feature bars selling craft beers, wines, cocktails, mocktails and hard shakes, making these the perfect place to unwind in the evening.
