Pizza Hut goes Italian

The Roma Pizza, one of the five flavours from Pizza Hut Brunei's new Italian Classic range of pizzas

It's back to where it all began when Pizza Hut introduced its new range of Italian Classic Pizza. The Italian Classic Pizza is a "very affordable and lighter option to (the) pan and stuffed crust pizza," said a press release from the Brunei franchise holder Olive Tree Corporation Sdn Bhd. Each one of the five "new delicious and mouth-watering toppings" is made of "premium ingredients and yet priced at a shockingly low price" of $13.90 for a large-sized pizza.

"We have five types of new toppings which not only uniquely complement the new Italian Classic Crust but also cater to every pizza lover - Milan and Roma for meat lovers; Polo for chicken lovers; Vera for veggie lovers; and Cheezo for cheese lovers," said Christine Carson, the marketing manager for Olive Tree.

The Italian Classic Pizza is a home-style Italian pizza with a "delicious bread crust, stretched and pressed by hand and baked to perfection - not too thick and not too thin - that even the Italians love to call it their own," Carson added.

The company's operations manager Salim put it very succinctly: "We didn't invent it; we just perfected it."
