Now, the chain is back with another over-the-top invention: the Stuffed Garlic Knots Pizza. This pizza [features](http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/knot-your-average-pizza-the-all-new-pizza-hut-stuffed-garlic-knots-pizza-is-an-appetizer--pizza-all-in-one-300208824.html) 16 cheese-stuffed garlic knots around the perimeter and comes with marinara dipping sauce. It costs $12.99 and is available for a limited time, so you should probably get moving if you want to get your hands on this bad boy. You may recall that Jon Stewart had some really, uh, [graphic things ](http://time.com/3924402/pizza-hut-hot-dog-pizza-jon-stewart/)to say about that hot dog pizza, so we’re definitely curious what he thinks about the garlic knot version.
