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.

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

They also come with a side of marinara dipping sauce.

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

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

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.

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.

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.
