Pizza Hut is number 11 on the fast foods charts, and comes in only behind Domino's in the ranking for people's favorite pizza chain. And like pretty much every fast food restaurants these days, from Burger King to Starbucks, Pizza Hut has a secret menu. Though unlike most chains, the Pizza Hut secret menu isn't that much of a big deal. It's not like Taco Bell, where the staff is probably familiar with most of the secret menu items you might order.
Pizza Hut's Secret Menu Revealed
But that doesn't mean you shouldn't try to order the secret menu items from Pizza Hut. Most of them are fairly simple, so (as always) asking politely for the changes you want to a regular menu item will probably get you your heart's pizza desire. Plus, you can build your own pizza, which is like a whole secret menu of its own.
Chose from the regular crust, the hut Favorite (a garlic buttery blend with a sprinkle of grated parmesan and Italian herbs), the Garlic Buttery Blend (garlic butter with a hint of Italian herbs) or the Toasted Parmesan (a sprinkle of all-natural Parmesan, toasted to perfection). Then choose your amount of their cheese blend (mozzarella, Monterey jack and Red Leicester) and type of sauce: Classic Marinara, Creamy Garlic Parmesan, Barbecue (sweet and smoky barbeque sauce made with real honey and molasses), or a spicy Buffalo sauce. Then choose your meat and veggie toppings. Give it a cool name when you serve it to your family or friends and you've got your own Pizza Hut secret menu treat.
If you're ordering your take-out online, they have a box for special requests, so if you want to try one of these Pizza Hut secret menu items, that's the place to put your polite ask.
There are a few Pizza Hut secret menu items you can ask your local restaurant for. Here are all the ones we know about.
Stuffed Crust
One of the most popular ways you can customize your pizza order is by getting a stuffed crust pizza. The stuffed-with-cheese is the kind they have on the menu, but since they make the pizzas to order, you can ask for them to use any of the toppings in your stuffed crust. Pepperoni stuffed crust is probably the best-known option, but you can ask the folks at your local location nicely for any topping to be used.
Hot Dog Stuffed Crust
This version of the stuffed crust pizza was an actual menu option on some international Pizza Hut menus, but the rumor is that if they have the ingredients on hand, they'll make you a hot dog stuffed crust pizza if you ask for it.
Heart-Shaped Pizza
Apparently you can only ask for this secret menu item on Valentine's Day, which makes sense. So order your honey a heart-shaped pizza to show just how much you love them.
Triple Deckeroni Pizza
The Triple Deckeroni Pizza was a limited-time Pizza menu item that rolled out in 1997 and disappeared in 2002. It was a crispy thin crust pizza topped with pepperoni and cheese, topped with another thin crust pizza with a layer of cheese and pepperoni. (And yes, that is only two layers, so we're not entirely sure why it was called the Triple Deckeroni). If you want to try and recreate this pizza stack, you can ask for it by name or you can just order two thin-crust pepperoni pizzas and ask them to stack them together.
Pizza Hut-Style Cups
Vegan Pizza
This Pizza Hut secret menu item is really all in how your customize your order. Order any of the crusts (thin, pan or hand-tossed) and choose the marinara sauce, since it's the only that is fully vegan. Ask them to leave off the cheese and choose your favorite veggie toppings.
Dessert Cake
Pizza Hut restaurants have more than just pizza, of course. You can order everything from french fries to apple pies, but if you're cool with a DIY dessert, this one takes the cake (so to speak). Order the HERSHEY'S® Chocolate Chip Cookie and the HERSHEY'S® Triple Chocolate Brownie, then add a side of either the white icing or the Cinnabon signature cream cheese frosting. When you get your order, spread the icing on the cookie and stack the brownie on top of it. Then get ready for the ultimate sugar high.
