The new pizza is available nationwide for a limited time at the regular price of $6.49 and includes four baked jumbo squares that look like giant Cheez-It crackers. The squares are stuffed with cheese or pepperoni and cheese and served with marinara dipping sauce. 

Starting Sept. 24, they will be added to Pizza Hut’s $5 N’ Up Lineup and will be $6 when you buy two or more $5 N’ Up Lineup menu items.

KFC said through its pilot, it is “evaluating consumer appetite for bringing this growing food trend to its customers on a national scale.”
