PLANO, Texas, June 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Pizza Hut, the
pizza restaurant that serves and delivers more pizzas and desserts
than any other pizza company in the world, has taken everything
there is to love about a summer picnic basket and made it even
better. How? By putting pizzas, breadsticks and a cookie
inside!
Called the Triple Treat Box: Summer Edition, the picnic-themed,
tri-level pizza box features two medium one-topping pizzas, an
order of breadsticks and The Ultimate HERSHEY'S Chocolate Chip
Cookie, all in one easy box for just $19.99. The new offer is available now, just in
time for National Picnic Day on June
18.
"Summer is the perfect time to bring people together to savor
great weather, great friends and great food," said Dave Timm, chief marketing officer, Pizza Hut.
"Whether you are picnicking with friends or throwing a block party,
the Triple Treat Box: Summer Edition makes meal time easy and fun,
just like summer."
The "Summer Box" is a follow up to the popular Triple Treat Box
introduced by Pizza Hut late last year. The Triple Treat Box was
holiday-themed, and proved to provide consumers with an easy,
simple solution for any occasion. The Triple Treat Box: Summer
Edition comes complete with picnic graphics to tie to this popular
summer activity.
Pizza lovers can top their one-topping Summer Box pizzas with
any of the following fresh ingredients: sweet pineapple, Peruvian
cherry peppers, fresh mushrooms, fresh spinach, fresh red onions,
fresh green bell peppers, sliced banana peppers, sliced jalapeño
peppers, Mediterranean black olives and diced Roma tomatoes as well as pepperoni, Italian
sausage, premium salami, classic meatballs, slow-roasted ham,
hardwood smoked bacon, grilled chicken, beef and seasoned pork.
Also, all Pizza Hut pizzas can be complemented with a variety of
crust flavors, including Hut Favorite, Toasted Parmesan, Salted
Pretzel, Toasted Cheddar and Garlic Buttery Blend.
The Ultimate HERSHEY'S Chocolate Chip Cookie is loaded with
Hershey's semi-sweet chocolate chips, offering a sweet treat as
part of the new Pizza Hut Summer Box. To up the summer flavor
factor, customers can add the new HERSHEY'S Toasted S'mores Cookie,
which is topped with toasted mini marshmallows, chunks of HERSHEY'S
Milk Chocolate Bar and graham cracker pieces, to their Triple Treat
Box: Summer Edition for an additional charge.
Pizza Hut breadsticks, which are the company's most popular side
item, are also included in the Summer Box. Customers can also opt
for the brand's unique Flavor Sticks, which come in the following
flavors: Hut Favorite, Fiery Red Pepper, Toasted Cheddar, Toasted
Parmesan, Toasted Asiago and Honey Sriracha.
Pizza Hut was the first national pizza restaurant company to
remove artificial flavors and colors from its core pizzas and
last month announced its continued commitment to quality food and
service, including the removal of all BHA/BHT from its meats by the
end of July 2016, the removal of
artificial preservatives from its cheese by the end of March 2017 and the removal of antibiotics
important to human medicine from chicken for its pizzas by the end
of March 2017. Visit
