In honor of our pizza roundup in today's TBT, I thought I'd share an interesting bit of pizza trivia. Tampa Bay residents are among the first to have the chance to try Pizza Hut’s new pizza made from all-natural ingredients. “The Natural” debuted this week in two test markets, Tampa/St. Pete and Dallas/Fort Worth, and will be available at Tampa Bay area Pizza Huts through August 23. 

“While customers are increasingly seeking options for more natural foods, they still love pizza,” said Brian Niccol, Pizza Hut CMO. “That’s why we’re offering the Natural.  It allows us to stay on the cutting edge of food trends while delivering on the amazing Pizza Hut taste our customers expect and demand.” 

This 'za features:

• Multi-grain crust (delivering eight grams of whole grains per slice)
• Organic sauce
• Natural Toppings   

The move to natural products doesn’t end with the pizza - it even extends to the box.  The Natural pizza will be served in boxes made from up to 75% recycled material. A medium one-topping pizza is $9.99.  The Natural Rustica pizza is $11.99.
