July 10/Dallas -- Famous food blends like peanut butter and jelly, mashed potatoes and gravy and macaroni and cheese are quickly making way for a new member of the illustrious Food Combo Hall of Fame: Garlic Bread Pizza. Pizza Hut has introduced the new combination in the form of hot melted cheese and pizza toppings on nine pieces of thick buttery garlic bread. Garlic Bread Pizza from Pizza Hut is available for a limited time for only $8.99 for a one-topping.

"Great food combinations don't come along very often, but we've created an instant classic at Pizza Hut with the new Garlic Bread Pizza," said Kurt Kane, Pizza Hut CMO. "Right now our customers are getting together with friends and family for good times, and it's our job to help them make that experience great. Showing up to a summer party with Garlic Bread Pizza is about as great as it gets."

According to a recent survey by Wakefield Research for Pizza Hut, nearly 2 in 5 (39%) Americans surveyed were surprised Garlic Bread Pizza has not appeared sooner. In the same survey, pepperoni (55%) and garlic bread (36%) were the top vote-getters to accompany the winner of the "best performing food," pizza.
