History and availability: Pizza Hut’s heart-shaped pizzas return for eighth season

The pizzas are available for delivery, carryout, or online orders. Pricing varies by location but remains consistent with Pizza Hut’s medium one-topping pizzas.

Why the heart-shaped pizzas arrive unsliced: Brand explains the choice

Pizza Hut’s heart-shaped pizzas are delivered unsliced to preserve their design. The chain’s tagline, “We don’t break hearts, we bake them,” emphasizes the novelty of serving an intact heart-shaped pie.

Customers must slice the pizza themselves, a strategy Pizza Hut has maintained since the product’s 2017 launch.

While this approach has drawn mixed reactions in the past, it aligns with the brand’s focus on creating shareable, photo-worthy moments for couples and families.

The unsliced format and single-topping limit remain unchanged, though Pizza Hut’s website suggests pairing the pizzas with sides like garlic knots or cinnamon sticks.
