Pizza Hut has taken a bold leap into the world of wine with its first-ever “pizza wine,” a one-of-a-kind creation that redefines the classic pairing of pizza and vino. Infused with the essence of a perfectly crafted pizza slice, this limited-edition wine offers a flavorful twist that is sure to delight taste buds. Whether you’re a foodie, a wine enthusiast, or just curious about this unique offering, there’s plenty to savor in Pizza Hut’s latest daring innovation. Keep reading to uncover all the juicy details behind this unconventional blend.
What Is Pizza Hut’s Pizza Wine?
Pizza Hut’s pizza wine is a bold and innovative creation crafted in collaboration with Kansas-based Irvine’s Just Beyond Paradise Winery, a family-run vineyard celebrated for its creative flair and dedication to quality. This unique wine is made from ripe, juicy tomatoes blended with natural basil and an aromatic mix of fresh herbs and spices. Notes of sun-ripened tomatoes and a delicate touch of toasted oak evoke the flavor of a perfectly baked pizza crust.
To achieve the signature red hue associated with wine, Pizza Hut added vegetable juice to their pizza wine. Unlike red grapes, tomatoes lack anthocyanin, the pigment responsible for the deep red color in traditional red wines. This innovative approach allows the wine to maintain its unique tomato-based flavor profile while delivering a visually appealing, wine-like experience.
Despite being tomato-based, the pizza wine delivers a refreshing profile comparable to a chilled white wine. When paired with Pizza Hut’s iconic pizzas, the tomato wine elevates each bite into a memorable gourmet experience, making it a perfect centerpiece for any holiday celebration.
How Much Is Pizza Hut’s Pizza Wine?
Pizza Hut’s exclusive tomato wine is available as part of a limited-edition offering designed to elevate holiday gifting. The gift set, priced at $60, includes a bottle of tomato wine, two branded wine glasses, and a wine opener—making it a perfect present for foodies and wine enthusiasts. For those looking to enjoy the wine on its own, individual bottles are priced at $25, with a minimum purchase of two bottles required. Both the wine and the gift set are available starting today, exclusively at www.irvinewinery.com/pizzahut, and pair perfectly with Pizza Hut’s festive Triple Treat Box for an unforgettable holiday experience.
