What do you get when you combine pizza with sub sandwich? Neatoramanauts,
meet the P’zolos, the newest creation from Pizza Hut (who also brought
you the hot
dog stuffed crust pizza, pigs
in a blanket pizza, and cheeseburger
pizza).
It’s aimed at rival Subway:
The chain’s new product, officially launched this week, comes
in Meat Trio, Italian Steak and Buffalo Chicken and looks like a cross
between a sub, a roll and a Costco-style chicken bake. Each comes with
either ranch or marinara dipping sauce and sell for $3 ($5 for two).Pizza Hut’s bid for sandwich domination involves transforming
a pair of Chicago Red Line subway trains into giant P’Zolos and
handing out freebies to passengers on Thursday. They’re calling
it — natch — a “Subway Takeover.”Subtle, they’re not. Then again, the P’Zolos’
creators also say they’re “rescuing sandwich-lovers from
the doldrums of cold cuts.”“It’s more than a sandwich,” crows Kurt Kane, Pizza
Hut’s chief marketing officer. “It’s a new flavor creation
that is leaving the sub category behind."
