NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — It's back! Pizza Hut announced Tuesday the return of its famed 16-inch New York-style pizza, "The Big New Yorker," 24 years after the fan favorite first debuted.
Pizza Hut's extra-large pizza is "inspired by the spirit of New York" and is "as huge and bold as the city that never sleeps," claims the chain.
To replicate an original New York pizzeria build, each pizza has six big, foldable pieces with crispy crust and bold flavors, including sweet marinara sauce and Parmesan oregano seasoning on top.
One order of The Big New Yorker extra-large pizza comes with double pepperoni, or one choose-your-own topping for a price starting at $13.99. Orders can be customized with extra toppings or extra cheese for an additional charge.
"The Big New Yorker was a huge hit when we launched it in 1999, setting the stage for future industry innovations like Pizza Hut Melts and Detroit-Style pizza," said Lindsay Morgan, Chief Marketing Officer at Pizza Hut. "At 30% larger than our large pizza, now is the perfect time to answer our customers’ requests and bring back The Big New Yorker in a big way right before the big game next month."
