Pizza Hut Australia introduces the new Four'N Twenty Pie-Stuffed Crust Pizza in its lineup of oven-baked variants which also includes the Doritos Crunchy Crust Pizza, the Hot Dog Stuffed Crust Pizza, the Cheeseburger Crust and the Chee-Zee Marmite Stuffed Crust Pizza. The new stuffed crust offering features eight mini meat pies from Australian pie maker Four'N Twenty. These pies are incorporated into the pizza’s crust.

Business Franchise Australia reports that Fatima Syed, Pizza Hut Australia’s Head of Marketing and Innovation, spoke about how much Australians love both pizzas and pies. That’s why she thinks that the Pizza Hut Four'N Twenty Pie-Stuffed Crust Pizza is perfect for Aussies.

“Together with Four’N Twenty, we welcome what we’re sure will become Australia’s favourite lovechild to the family,” Syed said in the Business Franchise Australia report.

Pizza Hut Australia’s website states that the Four'N Twenty Pie-Stuffed Crust Pizza includes two tomato sauce “squeezies” on top of each of the eight small pies in the crust. The latest stuffed crust pizza is available with any topping such as pepperoni, ham, pineapple or even vegetables.

It is also offered in a $33 meal deal (Pick up) that includes 1 large Classics (Pepperoni Feast, Aussie BBQ Beef, Loaded Ham, Big Cheese and Margheritaville) or Loaded Classics (BBQ Cheeseburger, Hawaiian, Loaded Pepperoni, Garlic Chook, Italiano, Mediterranean or Veggie Trio) Pizza, six Four'N Twenty Pie Bites and a 1.25 litre drink.

The Guardian reports that Pizza Hut Australia’s Four'N Twenty Pie-Stuffed Crust Pizza was eaten by its taste-testing team including Patrick Keneally, Emily Wilson, Monica Tan, Adam Brereton, Gabrielle Jackson and Janine Israel.

Keneally and Israel both think that it could only be enjoyed if you’re already drunk. As for Brereton and Jackson, they sort of liked it a bit. Jackson even considered going for a second piece of it.

“I feel like it tasted good. I am, after all, its target demographic: a dumb Generation-Y man who eats novelty garbage and loves the dregs of Australiana,” Brereton says in the report from The Guardian.

Meanwhile, Wilson thinks that the meat pies were disgusting and unnecessary. Tan was disappointed because the pizza and the pie didn’t actually unite. But she still thought that it wasn’t delicious.
