Have you ever looked at a slice of pizza and thought, ‘Hey, what if I could drink the cheese and toppings off that thing?” Well, if you have, first off, stay away from my family and me. Secondly, you might be interested in a new, recently launched “drinkable” pizza from Pizza Hut.
On May 11, as first spotted by Dexerto, Pizza Hut Japan announced a limited-time drinkable cheese curry pizza. Basically, what we have here is a standard Pizza Hut pizza, but with a lot more gooey cheese on top, as well as curry instead of pizza sauce. The end result is a pizza that is so liquid-y its toppings might overflow and pour off the crust. Hence, “Drinkable” pizza. This bizarre “pizza” is available starting today in Japan and won’t go away until June 15.
Here’s how Pizza Hut Japan describes it in a press release posted on Monday via machine translation:
If we’re talking about foods that are so delicious you could drink them, the first thing that comes to mind is the universally beloved curry. And now, curry, which could be considered the origin of drinkable foods, has finally arrived in Pizza Hut’s hugely popular “Drinkable Pizza” series! Enjoy the combination of gooey cheese and rich curry in a pizza that is so delicious you’ll want to drink it all up!
A smaller, personal-size drinkable pizza for one customer is ¥990 or around $7. Meanwhile, a larger version that can be shared is ¥2,230 or about $15. Both pizzas come with fries to help you soak up the goo and curry, but no straw. Anyway, I’m going to stop thinking about this drinkable pizza and the fact that the press release implies this is one of many drinkable pizzas that have existed at Pizza Hut Japan in recent years.
“A truly miraculous collaboration: drinkable pizza and drinkable curry meet,” says Pizza Hut. “Don’t miss this opportunity to enjoy this new product that will once again send shockwaves through the pizza industry!”
