In 1999, Pizza Hut released a much hyped pie called The Big New Yorker, a 16 pizza whose TV commercials some of you might still remember. Though I never ordered one myself, I definitely recall those ad spots, featuring an oversized box with a rough sketch of the New York City skyline and characters speaking in exaggerated east coast accents. And since nostalgia is a big marketing hit these days, Pizza Hut is bringing back this very ’90s menu item on February 1 for a limited run, just in time for Super Bowl LVII.

This item’s biggest draw is its name. It’s a product inspired by the famed New York style slice, which is typically oversized, thin, and foldable—you can read more about it here.

Each 16” pizza features six oversized, foldable slices with crispy crust and bold flavors including sweet marinara sauce, extra cheese, parmesan oregano seasoning on top to mimic authentic New York pizzeria build. 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.

The Big New Yorker inspired quite a vocal fan base that has pined for it since it was discontinued years ago. Change.org petitions have sprung up begging for its return, and users have eulogized it on Reddit. It’s one of those former products that, for whatever reason, has a back-in-the-day sheen to its memory. Maybe because for certain areas of the country, the Big New Yorker really

The only way to get a taste of NYC-style pizza in the ’90s, before artisan pizza blew up into the thriving sector it is today.

Pizza Hut's New Logo Is The Hottest Thing Out Of The Oven Since Stuffed Crust Pizza

New York style pizzas are a notoriously difficult type for fast food pizza chains to capture, as we saw with Papa Johns’ lackluster efforts early last year. Big chains typically use conveyor belt ovens, so getting the bottom crisp like an ideal New York pie is damn near impossible. A slice joint in New York will typically use a deck oven, which means when the pizza is being fired off, it rests directly on the baking surface, crisping up on the bottom. A conveyor belt oven, which doesn’t provide the same hot surface area, just can’t achieve those results.

That might seem like a small detail, but without that crispness (or at least a little of it), you’ll get the dreaded “tip sag, ” where your slice flops over even when folded up like a taco. That increases the possibility of grease dripping all over your clothes or scalding your chin, neither of which is very fun.

I anticipate that Pizza Hut’s Big New Yorker will be more of a large, floppy thin crust slice (like Papa Johns’) with the signature smell of Pizza Hut’s oregano-heavy spices. It probably won’t transport you to a slice shop in Brooklyn or anything. But really, I think the point is more to cash in on fond old memories, because a sense of nostalgia will enhance the experience wherever Pizza Hut fails to.There's never a bad time to take down a little 'za. We know that. You know that. Do you know who else is privy to this vital information? The people who run a little establishment called Pizza Hut. Ever heard of it? Yea, we thought so. It's not easy to cement yourself as one of the leading pizza-slinging eateries throughout the world, but then again, if it

Pizza Hut And Domino's: Which Is The Best Pizza Chain?

Let's be honest: There are people out there who love pizza but consider the stuff the Hut serves to act more as fast food pizza.

The real thing you get at those small — but super authentic — pizzerias in the city. However, one thing the Hut

Do is keep a huge variety of items on their menu, and Hut-heads everywhere have their go-to favorite. That is, until the powers above do away with something and replace it with the next hot product that'll (hopefully) keep people coming back for months.

It's hard to know which item will face the eventual menu chopping block, but whatever it is, you can be sure a whole group of people go into mourning over their now-obsolete Pizza Hut pleasure. Over the years there were some pretty awesome ideas eventually beckoned by the Hut's culinary Grim Reaper, and boy do we miss them.

Wait a minute... You can actually make a slice of Sicilian pizza infinitely better? When the world thought the answer to that question was a resounding No!, Pizza Hut took a lesson from their buddy Taco Bell and thought outside the bun (or, in their case, crust). They knew people loved both lasagna and pizza, but a person orders either one or the other for a meal (unless you're Joey Chestnut, of course). Pizza Hut wanted to give customers both experiences in one order, so they created the Sicilian Lasagna Pizza, and it was every bit as decadent as you can imagine. It was advertised as limited time only, so once people saw the ads they knew they had to pounce quickly or be banished to the dreaded Land of Those Who Missed Out.

Pizza Hut had an interesting way of creating this dish. First of all, it was not simply a lasagna thrown on top of pizza crust, but it's easy to see why people would think so. It was noodle-less, which is very unlike lasagna. Pizza Hut didn't make a mistake with its lasagna, though, and made sure to include ricotta cheese, a completely new ingredient for the chain. Then,

Pizza Hut Starts Selling By The Slice. Pan Pizza No More?

Lasagna, ground beef, parmesan cheese, and zesty marinara sauce were also layered onto a square Sicilian crust. It was rich and hearty, similar to Chicago's deep-dish pizzas. It's just too bad the world may never see it again.

If there's one thing Americans crave, it's more, more, more. They want more for their money. The bigger the better. Especially when it comes to food. Why pay 100 bucks for a luxuriously decadent, but unsatisfyingly small-portioned, meal when you can shell out ten measly bucks at any fast food locale and leave with

 double-stacked burgers. You can always count on Pizza Hut to keep its ear to the ground when it comes to what the public wants, and they know customers want more. So, at one point they served up the Panormous Pizza to satisfy any unquenchable pizza cravings. Let's just say they got it right. It was a

With 16 slices and the claim it was 40 percent larger than any other pizza they ever offered, it was an ideal choice if you had multiple people snagging slices. Now, while the name Panormous

New, the pizza itself wasn't any different than simply ordering two large pan pizza-crusted pies. So, if you liked the Hut's pizza, you were gonna feel just fine with the Panormous. Plus, customers were offered two extra toppings to spice things up. However, the Hut eventually decided enough was enough and did away with the behemoth.

The name here didn't hold back. You knew exactly what you were getting into when you ordered it. At almost two feet long, yea, it's safe to say it warranted the word big in its name. Customers could get it with up to three toppings and only had to fork over 12 bucks to take it home. Pizza Hut bragged it was made with a unique blend of special Italian spices to give that authentic feel of the beautiful country.

Spices aside, the perk of The Big Italy was the chance to mix and match three different toppings, so customers had hundreds of different combinations to create. Carnivores could pile on three different types of meat, vegetarians could indulge in their daily serving of veggies, and those who loved the sweet-and-salty flavor combo of Hawaiin pizza were covered as well. It was great for hungry patrons torn between topping options.

Unfortunately, the time came when The Big Italy changed its name to The Obsolete Italy, and now it forever remains in the hearts of those who were lucky enough to snag a slice or two while it was available.

For the longest time, Pizza Hut was severely lacking in the pasta game. But, at one point, they attempted to step up their hustle by releasing a line of pasta dishes known as their Tuscani Pastas, and they were a brave dive into a world the Hut previously kept both feet away from. Customers initially had a choice between Meaty Marinara or Creamy Chicken Alfredo, but then the option of Premium Bacon Mac 'n Cheese was added, and people just had to try it.

There are some who firmly believe Pizza Hut can do no wrong, and they hopped on board the Tuscani train immediately with great delight. However, it seemed not everyone was as stoked with the Bacon Mac n' Cheese attempt. One disgruntled customer described the now banished dish in pretty
