According to Pizza Hut, after nearly 40 years on the menu (one of the company’s oldest offerings) the Pan Pizza was ready to have a little work done. That included a three-year development process which culminated with a change to the sauce and cheese ratio, as well as reengineering the actual pan the pizza cooks in to optimize crust texture.
