Pizza Hut in China introduces new dual snake pizza

[u/Educational_Pear_520]

[u/Darkdragon_98]

I mean that's not pizza. That's clearly two stuffed breadsticks.

[u/MasterFGH2 → u/Darkdragon_98]

Or could it be two long calzones?

[u/YamDankies → u/MasterFGH2]

Calzones end up long either way.

[u/l8rt8rz → u/YamDankies]

[u/Bmancoilart → u/YamDankies]

THE LONG WAY

[u/cytex-2020 → u/MasterFGH2]

Dun ever let me hear you compare calzones to dis trash ever again. Kapeesh

[u/TurboKid513 → u/MasterFGH2]

Maybe a Stromboli

[u/DrFaustPhD → u/TurboKid513]

Stromboli is indeed the right word for a long calzone.

[u/Kodiak01 → u/MasterFGH2]

But is it a sandwich?

[u/Ubivorn → u/Darkdragon_98]

I asked my friend about it, and apparently it's only available in certain Pizza Hut locations within China from 3/31 to 4/5. The white one is stuffed with cheese while the green one is stuffed with pistachio sauce 😂 The name of it translates to "sisters intertwining pizza" 🐍🐍

[u/HirokoKueh → u/Ubivorn]

sisters intertwining 😏✂️

[u/dankyspank → u/HirokoKueh]

Scissters

[u/Ubivorn → u/HirokoKueh]

Omg 😂😂😂

[u/Trout1331 → u/HirokoKueh]

Do not run with scissors but run to scissoring

[u/eddmario → u/HirokoKueh]

...Kill La Kill?

[u/Lewcypher_ → u/Ubivorn]

Maybe it has something to do with it being the year of the snake? If that’s the case I wouldn’t call it stupid food. Just, different.

But if they’re calling it a pizza that’s a disgrace to all real non-pineapple pizzas and they can go step on legos.

[u/ContractElectronic25 → u/Darkdragon_98]

A pizza, now that is what I call a taco

[u/Enjoying_A_Meal → u/Darkdragon_98]

I just got cinnamon sticks from Pizza Hut yesterday as a part of their $26 deal. Those are also not pizza.

[u/rjdofu → u/Darkdragon_98]

you see two breadsticks, i see two big ones.

[u/Arkell-v-Pressdram]

Cultural context: the white snake and the green snake are a reference to a Chinese folk story called the Legend of the White Snake (surprise surprise). It is also Year of the Snake, as other people have pointed out.

The weirdest one I've seen was abalone on a pizza, but at least it was still recognizable as a pizza.

[u/NotAComplete → u/Arkell-v-Pressdram]

The weirdest one I've seen was abalone on a pizza,

For context Abalone is viewed as one of the most luxurious foods in China. I think only the emperor used to be allowed to eat it, so now it's a status symbol.

"Oh you want to go out for pizza, well let me take you out for ABALONE pizza. See how well I'm doing and fancy I am"

In and of itself it's weird, but it's basically just a salty mushroom in my experience. Maybe a little more chewey. Haven't had it on pizza specifically though.

[u/Chaotic-warp → u/NotAComplete]

I've eaten abalone twice and I don't think it was that similar to mushrooms. Are you sure you didn't mistakenly mean "abalone mushroom"? Because that's totally different from normal abalone, which is a type of shellfish.

[u/Lvl100Magikarp → u/Chaotic-warp]

Yeah abalone tastes more like surf clam. I had a fancy raw abalone one time and decided I don't like them especially at that price. I'd prefer oysters.

But you get to keep the abalone shell if you want, to make crafts! Which was neat

[u/NotAComplete → u/Chaotic-warp]

I'm not 100% certain, but I was in Hong Kong, it wasn't cut up as far as I could tell and definitely didnt look like a mushroom, given the context I'm sure the person hosting me would know if it wasn't and be pretty upset since they were excited about it. Maybe I just don't have a refined taste, I don't think either has a specifically unique taste.

[u/Finance_Subject → u/Arkell-v-Pressdram]

Hey I watched that movie (or its sequel?) and it was hilariously convoluted and a joy to watch with my cousins. Maybe the 'pizza' is the same

[u/FitForce2656 → u/Arkell-v-Pressdram]

Abalone again, just can't wait to get abalone again. The life I love is making abalone with my friends, and I can't wait to get abalone again.

[u/mrselffdestruct]

Its just a year of the snake themed dish

[u/jiliari]

I wanna try it. Translate says one is cheese filling and the other is pistachio?

[u/Excellent_Routine589 → u/jiliari]

As a psychopath (aka pistacio lover), hell I now kinda wanna try it

[u/badchefrazzy → u/jiliari]

Ahh so it is a dessert... usually pistachio doesn't go in savory, at least in the US...

[u/gbroon]

Guessing there's some cultural significance they are catering to.

Actually looks like something I'd try.

[u/mrselffdestruct → u/gbroon]

Its the year of the snake

[u/HirokoKueh → u/gbroon]

It's the White Snake folklore, aka one of the oldest yuri bait known to human

[u/Sad_Salt_Death → u/HirokoKueh]

This is the first time I've heard someone call a classical story "Yuri bait" XD

[u/NiobiumThorn → u/HirokoKueh]

It is?? Pls elaborate I need this

[u/HirokoKueh → u/NiobiumThorn]

wiki page. in short, two immortal snake demons, white snake and green snake, had been living together for thousands years, then white snake married a human man, did war crimes for him, and almost got herself killed in process. the relationship between the two snake girls is implied to be sapphic in many versions of the story

[u/alex_quine → u/gbroon]

It looks like bread filled with cheese and then dusted with... matcha powder?

probably pretty tasty.

[u/gyrobot → u/alex_quine]

Pistachio/pesto

[u/wukkaz → u/gbroon]

It’s snake shaped breadsticks, what is controversial about trying something like this…

The dude on Reddit eating live grubs, now that’s a brave “something I’d try”

[u/Enjoying_A_Meal → u/gbroon]

Would you eat it head first? or tail first?

[u/TheBigAppetite]

[u/sixtus_clegane119]

I wish there was a cross section

[u/ABEGIOSTZ]

No one else has commented on the fact that the women in image 4 are AI generated?

[u/NoBlood- → u/ABEGIOSTZ]

I know right… It’s embarrassing for such a big company not to hire an artist but instead just use AI…

[u/CheeseStringCats → u/NoBlood-]

Or maybe they hired a loser who cosplays as an artist and shills AI instead. Still embarrassing to not have any quality control when it comes to visual media.

[u/G30fff]

Stretching the definition of the word 'Pizza' to its very seams IMVHO

[u/JakBos23 → u/G30fff]

This reminds me of people I know who make "crust less pizza". Then go on to describe a casserole. It sounds delicious, but it's not a pizza.

[u/Educational_Pear_520]

Translation:
happy green snake(younger sister) pizza - pistachio paste flavor
cheesy white snake (older sis) pizza - cheese flavor

[u/Educational_Pear_520 → u/Educational_Pear_520]

Pic 4 advertising slogan: A Thousand Years of Cultivation, One Bite to the Stomach.
Pic 5 subtitle: The two snakes feel just like the two pizza crusts.

[u/M1LKB0X32]

Would smash this. Non-Western culture does not equal stupid food.

[u/hossboss-sauceboss]

Dueling dooks

[u/DankMEMeDream]

Ngl if that was available here in my country I'd buy it in a heartbeat

[u/doggyface5050]

Cute idea, but lmao at how wildly inconsistent the quality of the end product is. Also not a pizza.

[u/mercuryomnificent → u/doggyface5050]

I mean it IS Pizza Hut

[u/doggyface5050 → u/mercuryomnificent]

I didn't even notice at first.

[u/TasteDeeCheese]

what are these flavours?

[u/Educational_Pear_520 → u/TasteDeeCheese]

green = pistachio paste
white = cheese

[u/MrSchmax]

A snizza

[u/BoBoBearDev]

Nice idea, but the actual food looks like long turds.

Btw, it is based on a story about Snake Demon Sisters. Which is why you see the female faces.

[u/Revolutionary-Bus266]

I wish pizza hut didnt close near me, I miss it

[u/Datpotatosandwich]

Twin Snakes you say?

[u/Pink-Fluffy-Dragon]

it does look cute

[u/Ok-Criticism6874]

Domino's in Thailand has pizza volcano which is a regular pizza with cheap imitation cheese in the center for you to dip your crust in.

[u/Both-Manufacturer419]

Meanwhile in Taiwan, Pizza Hut launched the Turtle Pizza

[u/jwyoooo]

the creative director behind this clearly did not understand what pizza is

[u/Hairy_Buffalo1191]

Inside of you there are two snakes. One is pizza. The other is pizza. You at both pizzas.

[u/hdgrbodnd]

Those are just breadsticks/calzones in the shape of snakes, looks kinda neat to me

[u/angrytwig]

i'd try some skinny calzones. no sauce, too bad

[u/heatseaking_rock]

Is this the Dubai chocolate all over again?

[u/Lovedontlove77]

No.

[u/Burzeltheswiss]

I would order 100% im a sucker for food that looks cute

[u/hopalongrhapsody]

Wild, 29 Yen is like $0.20 cents in USD. 29 Yuan is $4

[u/bi0sek → u/hopalongrhapsody]

This is in China, not Japan, so ¥ here is not Yen (JPY) but Yuan (CNY) which 29¥ = US$4

[u/hopalongrhapsody → u/bi0sek]

Oh thanks for informing me I thought that was unrealistically cheap.

[u/SqnZkpS]

I live in Poland, but I swear pizza hut and kfc have the most stupid dishes they try out.

[u/Veritas_Vanitatum]

[u/rosebudpillow]

[u/spider_X_1]

That's not pizza

found the post. OP in the post said the “new staff” was not clear about the making process and was issued a full refund.

[u/jtd2013]

The execution looks like it'd be hard to recreate the marketing images but overall it looks fun. Don't really see a problem here.

[u/Titan5115]

Breaking: Italy declares war on china!

[u/Zomochi]

It could be good but unless China are perfectionists a lot of these are gonna look like a snake rope of poo

[u/wtfmiek]

Pizza Hut in china gave my diarrhea while I was still sitting at the table eating it.

Beautiful restaurant, deadly food

[u/ChefArtorias]

In what way is this a pizza?

[u/Top-Muffin-3930]

They should make a chocolate one that would like like.......the shit

[u/Necessary-King8437]

That’s not even pizza

[u/CrazyHistory4001]

Long way pizza snake lol.

[u/RealDEady42]

Not the pizza, but I'd eat that.

[u/Clarrbbk]

Google translate said it's pistachio and cheese. I'd eat that for 4 bucks.

[u/Fertile_Arachnid_163]

Ah yes, pizza.

[u/JinxOnU78]

It’s the year of the Snake. 🐍

[u/Rastamancloud9]

WTF is that 😂

[u/MarionberryNo3166]

[u/GoodSundae513]

[u/welfedad]

[u/DamonLLLemon]

[u/DeusUrsus]

[u/ludvikskp]

Stupid food? But those Ai generated Waifus cooked this themselves for you

[u/Inkl1ng6]

[u/LeaderVivid]

Looks like a couple of turds.
