Waxman Staff Writer Feb 2, 2016 5:41 PM UTC If you thought [Pizza Hut’s newest pie](http://time.com/4195819/pizza-hut-garlic-knot-crust/) boasting a crust made out of 16 cheese-stuffed garlic knots was decadent, then check out these pictures of the product covered in 24-karat gold. For Super Bowl 50 on Feb. 7, the company is giving away 50 of these special pizzas — which are worth $100 each, compared to $12.99 for one that is not covered in gold, according to the brand. Americans can enter to win one by ordering a regular cheese-stuffed garlic knots pizza from their local franchise or by emailing the company’s PR division. ([Instructions on how to enter are here](http://blog.pizzahut.com/innovation/gold-pizza-reveal-win-a-golden-pizza-on-the-big-games-golden-anniversary/).) Winners will get the gold monstrosities delivered to their doorstep. **Read next:** [Everything You Need to Know About Super Bowl 50](http://time.com/4199076/super-bowl-50-2016-what-to-know/) “It’s not every day that the Golden Anniversary of the Big Game is played in the Golden State,” Jared Drinkwater, Pizza Hut’s Vice President of Marketing, [said in a statement](http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/golden-opportunity-pizza-hut-designs-24-karat-golden-garlic-knots-pizza-in-honor-of-golden-anniversary-of-the-big-game-300212752.html).
