Pizza Hut introduces an exclusive Pizza Caviar Bump Box
10-4-2025
Pizza Hut is putting an indulgent twist on the caviar craze sweeping foodie culture with the launch of ‘Pizza Caviar’ – a first-of-its-kind innovation that transforms the fine dining trend into something completely unexpected. Caviar has been elevating some of the world’s most beloved comfort foods with the unexpected hi-low pairings popping up in upscale restaurants and gracing social feeds across the country. In true Pizza Hut fashion, the brand asked: why just place caviar on your pizza when you can reimagine it entirely and create a bold new food category? Inspired by the rise of ‘caviar bumps’, these bite-sized caviar pearls are made to taste like pepperoni and designed for dipping, dunking, and bumping. Available exclusively at the Pizza Hut located at 932 8th Avenue in New York City from today until April 12th from 4-8pm, while supplies last.
