News: Pizza Hut - New P'Zolo

The Pizza Hut answer to the common sub sandwich is the new P'Zolo. The P'Zolo comes in three different varieties: Meat Trio, Buffalo, and Italian Steak. Regardless of the flavor, each P'Zolo comes wrapped in fresh-baked pizza dough topped with a sprinkle of Asiago cheese and your choice of Ranch or Marinara dipping sauce.

The price on and advertising for these are aimed straight at Subway's Footlongs with each P'Zolo priced at $3 or two for $5. The tagline accompanying ads is "See ya subs. This is the P'Zolo."

The Meat Trio P'Zolo comes filled with cheese, pepperoni, Italian sausage, and ham.

The Buffalo Chicken P'Zolo features chunks of white meat chicken, cheese, and buffalo seasoning.

Ordering the Italian Steak P'Zolo will give you marinated steak, cheese, mushrooms, onions, and bell peppers.

I'm not sure how they came up with the name. I've never heard of a pizzolo so I looked around for info. Apparently, a pizzolo is a little-known Italian dish of stuffed pizza or flatbread. The pictures I've found make it look like a layered, but relatively flat, pizza with both savory or sweet versions. Regardless, it seems fairly unrelated to Pizza Hut's P'Zolo which is more of a sauceless pizza burrito, no?
