Pizza Hut is betting that an old Philadelphia favorite is something customers across the country will crave. You may live a long way from Pat’s King of Steaks, but the Philly cheesesteak is now as close as your local Pizza Hut. With grilled sirloin steak and savory toppings like onions and peppers, you can now order cheesesteak on your pizza, or as a handheld melt.
“With a history of bringing craveable food to consumers, our culinary team is always thinking of new and creative ways to expand our innovation pipeline,” said Lindsay Morgan, Chief Marketing Officer at Pizza Hut, in a release. History and Pizza Hut go hand in hand. Did you know Pizza Hut is one of the oldest chain restaurants in the country?

“Using top-quality ingredients, these new Cheesesteak offerings deliver a unique taste profile with great value. Whether in our classic pizza form or the crispy handheld Melts, our new grilled sirloin steak is a must try,” said Morgan.

That 14,000-square-foot pie was made with 13,653 pounds of dough, 4,948 pounds of pizza sauce, 8,800 pounds of cheese and 630,496 pieces of pepperoni.
