Earlier this month, Pizza Hut announced the Personal Pan Pizza Hut. The “new exploratory concept” allows customers that make a reservation to customize their personal pan pizza with Pizza Hut’s new toppings introduced earlier this summer, according to the press release.
"Our Personal Pan Pizza is a fan favorite, and we are excited to introduce a new way to enjoy it to pizza enthusiasts," said Melissa Friebe, chief marketing officer of Pizza Hut. "We're not just serving pizza—we're reimagining how our guests can experience the Personal Pan Pizza in an innovative, modern, and of course, personalized way.”
To celebrate the upcoming release of the movie Wicked, Starbucks released Glinda’s Pink Potion and Elphaba’s Cold Brew. The Pink Potion features a mango dragonfruit Starbucks Refreshers Beverage with coconut milk, ice and a scoop of freeze-dried dragonfruit. Topped with nondairy strawberry cold foam, the drink is finished with an Oz-dusting of magic (colorful candy sprinkles), according to the press release. The cold brew drink is sweetened with peppermint-flavored syrup, topped with nondairy matcha cold foam and colorful green candy sprinkles.
Subway hopped on the spicy bandwagon with its new Ghost Pepper Bread. “Subway's culinary team spent over a year perfecting this artisanal recipe that balances heat, crunch and flavor through bold seasoning and toppings. Ghost Pepper Bread is freshly prepared every day in restaurants nationwide by carefully coating Artisan Italian bread dough in ghost pepper, habanero and paprika-seasoned panko breadcrumbs, before it is topped with Monterey cheddar cheese and jalapeño slices and then baked to crispy perfection,” Subway said in a press release.
Subway also released two new sandwiches which feature the bread: the Spicy Nacho Steak sandwich and the Fiery Meatball sandwich.
