The pizza wars of 2025 just started! Don’t miss out on the new and returning items over at Little Caesars and Pizza Hut.
It looks like Little Caesars and Pizza Hut are battling out in the pizza arena. Both fast food brands brought back fan-favorite menu items and also dropping something new for pizza fans to get excited about. Little Caesars is reintroducing its Pretzel Crust Pizza, now with an irresistible, cheesy twist. Meanwhile, Pizza Hut is bringing back a fun way to indulge in pizza aka pulling apart the bite-sized crust. Yup, the Cheesy Bites Pizza is back, with three new dipping sauces for you to try. Here’s everything you need to know about these latest fast food releases.
Little Caesars’ Pretzel Crust Pizza
Finally, the crowd-favorite Pretzel Crust Pizza will be gracing the menus of Little Caesars again starting March 31, 2025. The brand is reintroducing this gem of a pizza due to high demand. But that’s not all, because the returning menu item is bringing a new, cheesy twist with it. Say hello to Stuffed Pretzel Crust Pizza! It’s a real game-changer and a new way to experience the classic pretzel crust pizza.
Just to give you a refresher, the well-loved Pretzel Crust Pizza has a soft and buttery pretzel crust topped with cheddar cheese sauce and a blend of mozzarella and Muenster cheeses, finished with a sprinkle of cheddar cheese. For a more indulgent fast food experience, don’t miss out on the Stuffed Pretzel Crust, filled with gooey melty cheese baked right into the crust! You can even customize the experience by swapping out the cheese sauce with the timeless marinara.
According to the Chief Marketing Officer at Little Caesars, Greg Hamilton, the brand decided to take it up a notch when they brought back the Pretzel Crust Pizza. With this new offering, guests can choose their ultimate cheesy and savory experience.
Both the returning Pretzel Crust and the all-new Stuffed Pretzel Crust Pizzas will be available for online orders only at participating locations beginning March 31. From April 7 to June 22, the Pretzel Crust will be Hot-N-Ready from 4 P.M. to 8 P.M., while the Stuffed Pretzel Crust will be available in-store and online.
Additionally, Little Caesars is encouraging you to keep an eye out on the “Crust Island,” a show airing on the brand’s social platforms, and it will feature fans competing to become the Pretzel Crust Champion!
Pizza Hut’s Cheesy Bites Pizza
In case you missed it, Pizza Hut also brought back a fan-favorite, specially designed for dipping and dunking. Yup, the Cheesy Bites Pizza is back, and you can get it right now at participating Pizza Hut locations. With a suggested price of $13.99 (may vary), the Cheesy Bites Pizza will give you 28 pull-apart bites loaded with cheese. So instead of a traditional crust, you get these poppable treats ideal for dunking and sharing.
Now, here’s something new from the pizza chain: The Ranch Lover’s Flight. This is a trio of new and unique dipping sauces that will upgrade your Cheesy Bites Pizza experience. The flavors include Chipotle Ranch, Ultimate Ranch, and Pepperoni Ranch. If you want something rich and creamy, go for the Ultimate Ranch. For a spicy kick, Chipotle Ranch is your best bet. And if you love a more savory profile, choose the Pepperoni Ranch (doesn’t contain actual pepperoni).
Again, both the returning and new menu items from Pizza Hut are now available at participating locations. They’re here for a limited time only, so you better grab them as soon as you can!

More Fast Food Comebacks You Shouldn’t Miss
Ready for more flavor explosion? Apparently, there are other chains that are bringing back iconic menu items, and even deals, due to popular demand. This is a good thing because, similar to Pizza Hut and Little Caesars, the following brands are listening to your wants and needs, and committed to delivering the best fast food experience with these menu items:
- Whataburger’s Mushroom Swiss Burger – The “real deal” is back at Whataburger. This burger was last seen on the menu three years ago, but this April 1, it’s finally coming back. And no, this isn’t an April Fool’s joke. Once again, you can get a taste of this sandwich featuring grilled beef patties, melty Swiss cheese, creamy au jus sauce, and grilled mushrooms. The Mushroom Swiss Burger is making a grand comeback after a Change.org petition for it garnered over 7,000 signatures.
- KFC’s $10 Tuesday Deal – How far can your ten bucks take you? At KFC, that amount will give you a bucket of eight hot, juicy fried chicken, and that’s what the $10 Tuesday deal is all about! Obviously, you can grab this deal on a Tuesday, and by redeeming the offer via KFC’s app or website. The fast food deal is also available in-restaurant at participating KFC locations.
- Dairy Queen’s Returning Summer Blizzard Treats – From Dairy Queen’s Summer Blizzard Treat Menu lineup, there are three returning flavors that you shouldn’t miss: Confetti Cake Blizzard Treat, Cotton Candy Blizzard Treat, and S’mores Blizzard Treat. The S’mores-flavored dessert is the winner of the 2024 fan vote, and fans can’t wait to indulge in the combo of marshmallow-filled choco bars and graham cracker crunch! DQ’s summer menu is expected to drop on March 31, with two new flavors: Dipped Strawberry Cheesecake Blizzard Treat and Mixing Bowl Mashup Blizzard Treat.
