New Fast-Food Menu Items 2014

Pizza Hut Sweet Sriracha Dynamite

In November, Pizza Hut revamped its menu to include novel options like pretzel crust, balsamic drizzle, and buffalo sauce, as well as a handful of predesigned pizza options. One bold combination — Pizza Hut's Sweet Sriracha Dynamite — takes a honey-sriracha-sauced pie and tops it with grilled chicken, sliced jalapeño peppers, sweet pineapple, Peruvian cherry peppers, and a honey sriracha sauce drizzle.
