The abundantly stuffed P’Zone Pizza fuels you up and dares you to eat it all. The P’Zone Pizza weighs in at over a pound and has savory toppings and cheese sealed inside a folded over 12″ pizza crust. Served with a side of Marinara sauce. The P’Zone in available in the delicious varieties.

Meaty Marinara is a mouthwatering version of traditional Italian rotini pasta. Combining ground pork, fresh tomatoes, Italian seasoning and smothered in real Canadian pizza mozzarella, this pasta is sure to appeal to everyone.

 

The story of Pizza Hut began in 1958, when two college students from Wichita, Kansas, Frank and Dan Carney; were approached by a family friend with the idea of opening a pizza parlor. Although the concept was relatively new to many Americans at that time, the brothers quickly saw the potential of this new enterprise.

They decided that they wanted the word “pizza” in the name of the restaurant and since the place itself reminded them of a hut, they came up with Pizza Hut. It was the creation of what would become the largest and most successful pizza restaurant chain in the world. Pizza Hut is today a division of YUM! Brands Inc. and has more than 7,200 units in the U.S. and 3,000 units in more than 86 other countries.
