Blake Shelton talks Pizza Hut, Bud Light and knuckle sandwiches
Pizza Hut has added bacon to its line of stuffed-crust pizzas with the new Bacon Cheese Stuffed Crust pizza. Yes, they’ve added bacon to a blend of white cheddar, mozzarella and provolone and stuffed their pizza crust with it. And to help them promote the new pizza, which launched Thursday, they’ve enlisted the help of “The Voice†star and country music artist Blake Shelton.
“If there was a way to combine awesome with greatness this is what it is,†Shelton said.
A one-topping Bacon Cheese Stuffed Crust Pizza is now available for $11.99.
