PLANO, Texas, May 4, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Pizza Hut,
recognized as the pizza restaurant company which serves and
delivers more pizzas than any other pizza company in the world, is
back with a fan favorite mash-up. The company behind incredible
flavor innovations like the Original Stuffed Crust®, Stuffed Garlic

America's favorite foods in one pizza: The Bacon Stuffed Crust
Pizza.
The Bacon Stuffed Crust Pizza features a stuffed crust filled

twist on the original Pizza Hut Stuffed Crust Pizza will be
available as a large one-topping pizza for $12.99.
"As the creator of the original Stuffed Crust Pizza, Pizza Hut
has passion for pushing taste buds and bringing the most creative

customers what they want: A flavor-packed pizza that combines two
foods America loves – pizza and bacon – into one epic pizza."

introducing a new integrated creative campaign featuring
Bobby Moynihan, who will star in a
new TV spot for the brand, as well as in digital content to be
featured on Pizza Hut social media channels. The new creative will
begin running on May 6.
"Pizza with bacon stuffed in the crust is truly one of man's
greatest creations," said Moynihan. "On a scale of 1 to 10 stars,
I'd give it 363 million stars."
The Bacon Stuffed Crust Pizza can be topped with any of the
following fresh Pizza Hut ingredients: Mediterranean black olives,
Peruvian cherry peppers, fresh mushrooms, fresh spinach, fresh red
onions, fresh green bell peppers, sliced banana peppers, sweet
