Pizza Hut's creative flavored pizzas, such as the Halloween and Ballpark pizzas, while visually striking, are disappointing in taste. The spicy tomato and mochi cheese stuffed crust of the Halloween pizza is unique but not easily accepted, and the Ballpark pizza is unevenly seasoned with ingredients that are not fresh enough.
"Pizza Hut" is probably familiar to everyone, as they always introduce some creative and taste-bud-challenging unique flavored pizzas, constantly pushing the boundaries for Italians. This year, especially with their Halloween and baseball-themed pizzas, they came up with new twists. However, my experience this time was rather disappointing. This review specifically addresses the pizzas I tasted this time.
Let's start with this year's Halloween pizza. The toppings on this pizza include black pudding, century eggs, and black squid tentacles, which indeed present a visual impact, but the overall taste performance wasn't very good. There was a new attempt with the crust; they replaced the cheese-stuffed crust with "spicy tomato mochi," which feels like fusing tomato sauce and chili sauce into mochi. I thought this combination was quite interesting, but my colleagues were not accustomed to the taste.
Next is the baseball park pizza, which features different toppings for different areas, like the "third base inner area" packed with ham slices that were too salty to swallow, while the outer base area was too bland, as if no salt was added at all. The most frustrating part was the base pads section, which they made with small meatballs, but these meatballs had a strong gamey taste, suggesting they might not have been fresh enough.
Overall, these two unique flavored pizzas were very disappointing. The creativity might have been an attempt to create a buzz, but the flavors indeed hit a landmine. If you're going to Pizza Hut, I would advise skipping these limited-edition flavors and going back to order some classic pizzas to be on the safe side!
