Pizza Hut brings back ‘oversized’ Big New Yorker

BY SARAH BLASKOVICH The Dallas Morning News

Pizza Hut is bringing back its 16-inch pie, the Big New Yorker.

This “XL pizza,” as the company describes it, comes with six “oversized, foldable slices” and can be customized beyond the traditional double pepperoni order. The pizza was introduced in 1999, then retired at the end of that year, says a spokeswoman.

Its return arrives ahead of Super Bowl on Feb. 12. The Super Bowl is one of Pizza Hut’s biggest days of the year, and Pizza Hut’s chief marketing officer Lindsay Morgan says it’s the “perfect time” to unleash the Big New Yorker — “in a big way, right before the big game.”

The pizza is 30% larger than Pizza Hut’s large-sized pizza.

Note: The 2023 version of the BNY will be made with different crust and cheese. The Pizza Hut team that redid the pie is using a new New York-style crust recipe alongside sweet marinara, cupped pepperoni and Parmesan-oregano seasoning.

Prices for the Big New Yorker start at $13.99. A spokeswoman didn’t have info on how long the Big New Yorker will be available.
