It’s already unfair that the United Kingdom gets to brag about David Beckham, having a queen and lots of old castles, but now they’ve got another one up on the rest of us with a new offering from Pizza Hut: Pizza crust stuffed with a hot dog. Bring it on over here and let us Americans take a closer look.
Pizza Hut’s site touts the undoubtedly delicious, artery-clogging offering as such (via Fox News): “Succulent hot dog sausage bursting from our famous stuffed crust, with a FREE Mustard Drizzle.”
You had us at FREE Mustard Drizzle. Actually, we might as well admit we were smitten at sausage.
The spread of the hot dug crust pizza has been slow-going, as it first appeared in Thailand and Japan years ago. That has planted some small kernel of hope in us that the pizza will make its way across the pond so we can witness it firsthand and with our own inquiring stomachs.
At least we can brag about the Doritos Locos Tacos at Taco Bell, right?

If they used those hotdogs filled with cheese, then we’ve got ourselves a meal!
(Make that a Meat Lovers pizza while you are at it!)
OOOOO….. I LIKE this idea. I dig those cheese-filled hot dogs in general.
Cheese-filled hot dogs baked in pizza dough. Big people’s pigs in a blanket? Gotta try it sometime!
Better yet…maybe we can somehow make the pizza on corndog dough, fry the thing up, so it’s like corndog crust, but a traditional pizza on top.

“If they used those hotdogs filled with cheese, then we’ve got ourselves an instant heart attack!”
FTFY
I see pizza crusts … stuffed with hot dogs,
Succulent weiners … free mustard drizzles.
And I think to myself … What a wonderful world!
Flying cars? Personal jetpacks? Hologram computers?
No way. We’re in the future and we’ve got pizza where the crust is made of hot dogs.
Hot dog in the crust? Probably the bland generic with no taste or texture. A Kosher dog would be a LITTLE better.
Now, throw in Italian sausage and I am in line this Friday evening (Passover ends and I can have bread again)
If you’re not going to keep kosher, why do you bother with the other utterly ridiculous religious trappings?
Not every religion likes to burn it’s heretics.
The cool religions require snake handling.
The cool religions REQUIRE you to drink 4 glasses of wine to celebrate the Holy Days.
See: Passover Seder
And don’t forget Purim, where you’re supposed to get drunk enough that you can’t tell apart the good guy and the bad guy.
wait a second. I don’t really have a religion, but I want to know what this is that I have to not only know that the bad guy is around but I have to drink enough to not know who he is.
Honestly.
Short version: The Jews avoided being wiped out in an area (once again), let’s have a party to celebrate.
Paragraph from the long version:
The villain of the story is Haman, an arrogant, egotistical advisor to the king. Haman hated Mordecai ( an important Jew in the area) because Mordecai refused to bow down to Haman, so Haman plotted to destroy the Jewish people. In a speech that is all too familiar to Jews, Haman told the king, “There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of your realm. Their laws are different from those of every other people’s, and they do not observe the king’s laws; therefore it is not befitting the king to tolerate them.” Esther 3:8. The king gave the fate of the Jewish people to Haman, to do as he pleased to them. Haman planned to exterminate all of the Jews.

Ok, just read about it, I’m in. Just for that day though.
I will answer this, actually. I made the decision to stop eating pork when I was about 13 and continued for 10 years. I didn’t abstain from eating pork because I thought it was evil or that God wanted me to or anything. It just kind of acted as a reminder of the culture of my family and ancestors. Every time I ordered something at a restaurant or something, I would have to have a conscious thought about it. Even now that I eat pork again, it’s still a novelty, so I get the same reminder effect.
Backtowaiting may be doing the same by making the effort to keep Passover every year. Keeping just a bit of something cool, like a picture in a scrap book.
I’m actually also curious as to your point of view… but you shouldn’t have to respond to the utterly ridiculous hater down below.
For me, I tend to buy kosher hot dogs not because I’m avoiding pork, but because it’s the worst parts of the pig that are used. Hebrew National says they use good cuts of beef…and Ball Park Angus hotdogs taste pretty good (and don’t give me indigestion).
So often many people who have no interest in kosher products will buy kosher hot dogs because it’s just a better product.
I will be very upfront here. I am a Reform Jew and am primarily religious for the history, culture and background. Yes, I pick and choose what to observe. I do not believe, as strict Orthodox Jews do, that women should be segregated in Synagogues and celebrations. I have also chosen not to keep kosher (mmm, bacon).
However, observing what it arguably the most important Holy Days is important to me and my children. Passover is about the tradition and history of the Jewish people. It showcases that even if bad things happen, G-d will help us pull through and survive. Whether that is slavery in Egypt for 1,000 years, the Inquisition or The Holocaust.
Pesach doesn’t end until Saturday night. Friday was the first seder but Saturday was the first DAY, hence eight days from April 7 is April 15.
As I state below, I am a Reform Jew, From a Reform temple web site:
How Long is Passover?
The Book of Exodus says the following: “This day shall be to you one of remembrance; you shall celebrate it as a festival throughout the generations…seven days you shall eat unleavened bread…on the first day you shall hold a sacred convocation, and on the seventh day a sacred convocation; no work at all should be done on them…”
As you can see, the Torah indicates that Pesach is to last seven days and the first and last days of the holiday are to be special. For Reform Jews, that means holding services on the first and seventh days. For others, this means holding services on days 1 and 2 plus days 7 and 8.
Conservative and Orthodox Jews “double” the first and last days because, long ago when the Jewish calendar was set month by month, uncertainty about the exact date of festivals outside Israel arose. To be sure they “got it right,” early Jews therefore celebrated two days of the festival. That way they hoped not to miss the proper day.
Now that the calendar is fixed, Reform Jews have returned to the original biblical commandment. We celebrate Passover for seven days. Others have maintained the double days as a reminder of the way it used to be done.
“It’s already unfair that the United Kingdom gets to brag about David Beckham, having a queen and lots of old castles…”
Beckham? Yeah, we had him. Sent him back.
Queens? Have you been to San Francisco?
Old castles? Mmmm…sure. We have old structures too though. Like the Anasazi ruins and Indian burial mounds.
“At least we can brag about the Doritos Locos Tacos at Taco Bell, right? “
Yuck.
…while the pizza itself is obviously just an unholy marriage of the pizza and the hot-dog-in-a-croissant thing your mom used to bake, the phrase “Succulent hot dog sausage” just seems…wrong somehow.
Pizza and hot dogs seem like such a non-sequitor that I’m not sure I’d want to try it. Seems rather desperate.
Aren’t you a ray of sunshine?
“Queens? Have you been to San Francisco?”
SOL (snort out loud).
…Code Geass style?
It’s all about pizza butt up in here.
The funny thing is, C.C. was always eating pizza hut too…
oiu&^adu iyw$#erf!!! [poster's head just exploded]
Man, some people will cram anything down their pie holes.
I think I just had a heart attack, got diabetes and high blood pressure just from reading this article.
I don’t think I’d be interested in trying this. Hot dogs and pizza is a combination I have never once had a craving for. It’d be like eating a slice of pizza and following up with a pig in a blanket.
To be honest, though, I don’t even like cheese stuffed crusts. Too much cheese, not enough flavor, and the overall result is overly greasy.
I find this especially amusing in light of the recent “pink slime” media outragegasm.
Exactly what do you think goes into a hot dog.
Also, I believe Mustard Drizzle was one of the unfortunate side effects of the Hamburgler’s recent prostate surgery.

There is no truer sign of the decay of US innovation can be found than the hot dog stuffed pizza. Developed in Thailand, no less! The Asian Tiger has finally encroached upon our final stronghold – COMFORT FOOD!
That. Is. AWESOME!!!! (Which is saying a lot because it’s still Pizza Hut.)
Most insane Pigs-in-a-Blanket EVER!
Well, Pizza Hut wins the food war. Everyone else can go home.
I hope Kraft is paying attention. Cheese alone is no longer sufficient.
I want a pizza-stuffed hotdog…with mustard drizzle.
Clearly the end is nigh.
WANT!
The connoisseur in me is revolted.
The redneck in me wants two extra-large Deluxes.
I would enjoy this pizza better if the hot dog was
also stuffed with cheeze, sausage and pepperoni.
Well, what you don’t know is that a steady diet of Weenie Tots would cause you to spend an eternity in the bathroom.
Coming soon: pizza with bacon in the crust.
S’cuse me, I have to hit the patent office on the way home…
But if you bake it in the crust, will it be nice and crisp? I’d rather it be on the outside, maybe a bacon-wrapped crust.
I’d prefer a bacon crust. No more dough. Just a half-inch thick interwoven slabs of bacon, topped with your favorite topping.
In 2005, I found this…
http://flic.kr/p/whZE
That’s bacon wrapped, cheese stuffed sausage (hot dog, really) and sour cream mashed potatoes. Not technically in the crust, but on it, but still.
That was in Thailand, somewhere. Possibly Koh Samui. Or Bangkok. It’s been 6 years, forgive me.
That sounds gross!!!
Pizza Hut has had this, off and on, in some Asian markets for at least a decade now.
I love how “FREE MUSTARD DRIZZLE” is such a huge deal. I have not yet met a single dining establishment that makes you pay money for mustard, yet this is EARTH-SHATTERING.
This is something that’s been done in asian countries for years. I remember 5 or 6 years ago ordering a pizza with the crust stuffed with a cheese wrapped hotdog, and the hotdog had a cheese inner layer.
I’ve done this for years.
That sounds disgusting. I’ve had pizza with hotdogs on it (granted they were not in the crust), and it’s gross. DO NOT WANT!
Hot dogs stuffed into pizza crust – my insight is the following:
Gross gross gross gross gross gross gross gross gross gross. Gross.
I won a prize in a contest in college–a coupon for a free pizza at a local joint. When I tried to redeem it, I found that the selection of free pizzas was limited; the least objectionable was a hot dog pizza. Being a starving college student, I tried it. It was memorably awful. Grease from the hot dogs, grease from the cheese–if I had wrung out the pizza and collected the grease I could have changed the oil on a semi. I was put off hot dogs and pizza for weeks afterward.
C’mon! Bring it over! Having this, the KFC Double Down, and the Doritos Locos Taco is the Yum! Brands trifecta of the ultimate modern day American meal!
I can’t wait for someone to use two slices of this as a hamburger bun.
