Pizza Hut has introduced a limited-time test of a plant-based pizza topping served in a round pizza box. The test of both innovations will take place exclusively at one Pizza Hut location in Phoenix, where the pizza company will introduce the new Garden Specialty Pizza topped with Incogmeato™ by MorningStar Farms Italian sausage.
Pizza Hut partnered with Zume, a company pioneering the shift to a more sustainable future of food, to design a way to put a round pizza in a round box. The round box contains less overall packaging compared to a typical square pizza box, is industrially compostable (where available) and interlocks easily to ensure a smoother delivery. In other words, no pizza insurance policy needed and freed up space in the fridge for leftovers. Pizza Hut plans to look at ways to roll out the box more widely in the near future.
