Checkoff scientist helps Pizza Hut launch Detroit-style pizza offering
The new offering has 50% more cheese than a similar rectangular pizza on the chain’s menu.
Dairy Management Inc. (DMI) said DMI scientist Nitin Joshi helped Pizza Hut launch handcrafted Detroit-Style pizza nationwide. Joshi, vice president of product development, said the new offering has 50% more cheese than a similar rectangular pizza on the chain’s menu.
The project was in the works for more than a year and began from a brainstorm session between DMI and Pizza Hut team members. The group often meets to determine “what is next,” Joshi said, and they recognized growing consumer interest and trends in Detroit-style pizza.
