Pizza Hut's New Pizza Charcuterie Is the Pi Day Deal You Need to Try
Charcuterie boards are a fancy way of serving a curated selection of delicious appetizers on a wood or slate board, usually cured meats, crackers, and cheese. They are total crowd-pleasers. What do you get when you fill a charcuterie board with pizza, wings, breadsticks, and dipping sauces? The next-level genius that is Pizza Hut's Pizza Charcuterie is launching just in time for Pi Day, Friday, March 14. (You can get yours starting today.) Read on for more, and to discover brand new menu items from other big chains.
Charcuterie Pizza Boards Include Pizza, Wings, Breadsticks, and Dipping Sauce
Starting today, pizza lovers can curate their own Instagram-worthy spread of Pizza Hut offerings. The board starts at $24.99 and includes your choice of any two medium pizzas, including hand-tossed and Chicago Tavern-style pizza. Next, add any eight boneless wings. Finally, choose your favorite sticks and dips. After creating their custom Pizza Charcuterie, customers are encouraged to tag @PizzaHut on social.
Rob Gronkowski Teamed Up with Pizza Hut for the Launch
To give the menu item a celebrity twist, Pizza Hut enlisted Robert Gronkowski, former award-winning football tight end and pizza lover. Gronk designed his own board loaded with all his favorites and even filmed a YouTube video of his fixings.
It's a "Power Move"
"We've seen creative charcuterie boards take over social feeds, and we knew it was time to give pizza the spotlight it deserves," said Melissa Friebe, Chief Marketing Officer at Pizza Hut. "Because let's be honest—stacking crackers is cute, but stacking pizza, wings, and breadsticks? That's a power move."
