We tried Pizza Hut's new Stuffed Cheez-It Pizza, and were disappointed to find it actually tastes like neither pizza nor Cheez-Its

Stuffed Cheez-It Pizzas come in two flavors: cheese and pepperoni.

These giant Cheez-It shaped pastry pockets have a crispy outer shell and are filled with cheddar and sauce.

2/10

They were greasy to the touch and simultaneously seemed too big and too small.

3/10

They also come with a side of marinara dipping sauce.

But Cheez-Its aren't normally eaten with marinara, which confused us.

5/10

The sauce was sickly sweet and simply did not go with the flavor of the square.

6/10

The crust was crispy, but also extremely buttery and flaky. That's usually not a bad thing in a pastry, but it didn't come close to resembling Cheez-Its or pizza crust. It didn't really taste cheesy, just greasy.

7/10

The filling also lacked appeal and reminded us of neither Cheez-Its nor pizza. It was chunky, salty, and mostly flavorless. It didn't have that signature cheesy Cheez-It taste that we craved so desperately.

8/10

I could barely tell the difference between the cheese and the pepperoni based on taste alone, which is a huge red flag.

The consensus? We were confused and disappointed because we'd expected a delicious pizza with the iconic taste of the Cheez-It. This was none of the things it'd promised to be. Pizza Hut and Cheez-It should try again, and do better next time.
