Pizza Hut Australia/TwitterWe usually make light-hearted jokes whenever food establishments bust out insane menu items (like Little Caesars' bacon-wrapped pizza), but this time were a little scared, you guys.
Pizza Hut Australia has created unleashed a new creation called the Four'N Twenty Stuffed Crust Pizza, which is to commemorate a partnership between Pizza Hut and the Australian restaurant Four'N Twenty. The crust comes with eight meat pies baked right into it, meaning that your giant meat pie now can come with lots of little pies.
This sounds like an American concoction, but nope. It's Aussie.

"Australia's newest and tastiest lovechild has arrived following a secret and steamy relationship between Pizza Hut and Four'N Twenty that has created the Four'N Twenty Stuffed Crust Pizza," says the saucy statement that makes us a tad uncomfortable. "The exciting new arrival brings two all-time Aussie favourites—meat pies and pizza—finally together with eight delicious bite-sized Four'N Twenty meat pies nestled into the crust of your favorite Pizza Hut pizza."
Forget the fact that Pizza Hut is having way too much fun pretending that they had a baby with Four'N Twenty. This just seems like a slippery slope. Today it's meat pies baked into the crust and tomorrow it's what? Fried chicken? Bacon cheeseburgers? The souls of the eternally damned? Like we said, slippery slope.
Reporters at The Guardian had the privilege (misfortune?) of taste testing these pizzas and their reviews are basically what we expected:
"It tasted exactly like I expected it to taste: like a cheap supreme pizza with a pie tacked on to the end. Not great, not the worst thing I've ever eaten, but evoking enough fond memories of my childhood to go for a second piece. Happy to say I fell for the fad but I won't be going back for thirds."
Basically the experience is perfectly summed up with this response: "Should come with a warning: 'Do not consume while sober.'"
We doubt anyone will.
