Pizza Hut unveiled a new product during the Super Bowl which is its "pizza sliders" which are small pizza pies.
The mini-pizzas measure 3.5" across and are sold in boxes of three for $5 and boxes of nine for $10. They are available at Pizza Huts across the country starting Monday, February 04. The Sliders can be ordered with any of the normal Pizza Hut pizza toppings.
The box of nine sliders would be the equivalent of a large pie, which has eight slices and also costs $10.
The launch of the sliders right after the Super Bowl is intended to generate excitement during a time when people may be sick of pizza. The partying done during the final pro football game of the season makes the day one of the five biggest days for pizza consumption of the entire year. The other four are Halloween, the day before Thanksgiving, New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, according to the trade magazine Pizza Today.
The chain promised earlier that it would give away samples of a mysterious new product if the word "hut" was uttered during the Super Bowl, meaning the giveaway was virtually guaranteed. The chain says customers can get their free sliders between 4 pm and 7 pm Tuesday.
