As a part of a holiday promotion, the chain created limited-edition pizza-themed nail polish to bestow upon 30 people who wrote the best pizza-themed poetry. It’s the dream you never knew you had.

And, you know, available for purchase by the general public. Pizza Hut announced winners — and their cheesy poems — Monday: ## Transcript Your favorite Pizza Hut pizza might be getting a facelift. Restaurants for the world's largest pizza chain will be experiencing some rebranding of everything from pizzas to logos starting as early as next week according to the company. Pizza Hut is adding crust. Flavor toppings including salted pretzel, toasted cheddar and toasted asiago. New sauces including crushed tomato, garlic parmesan and honey sriracha. And speciality pizza like BBQ bacon cheeseburger, 7- alarm fire and garden party. There will also be a skinny slice pizza option which features slices with no more than 250 calories. In addition to the new flavor changes and toppings, changes to the company's pizza boxes and websites will also come out soon. A Yum! Brands subsidiary, Pizza Hut has 7, 800 locations in the US and an additional 5, 500 internationally. With a large chunk of those in China. People want menu innovation, Pizza Hut just took a big step today. That was a division that people didn't care about. They only cared about KFC in China. So therefore they caught, people took their eye off the ball. This stock is. Has stopped going down. But some aren't as optimistic. Pizza Hut sales have been struggling as of late, posting eight straight quarters of sales declines with Dominos and its aggressive ad strategy being one of its biggest opponents. USA Today quotes Darren Tristano, Executive VP of consumer research firm, Technomic, as saying Pizza Hut may be doing too much too quickly. It would appear that the brand that has lost touch with the consumer is trying to change too much overnight. It will likely be the last rebranding Pizza Hut will see under current CEO Scott Bergren, who announced he'll be retiring at the end of the year. David Gibbs was named as the company CEO last week. Starting Saturday, Pizza Hut will roll out its new pizzas, logos and more at exciting, yes exciting events in Boring Maryland, Bland Missouri and Normal Illinois. With a nation wide debut November 19th.
