What do you get when you combine pizza with sub sandwich? Neatoramanauts, meet the P'zolos, the newest creation from Pizza Hut (who also brought you the hot dog stuffed crust pizza, pigs in a blanket pizza, and cheeseburger pizza).
It's aimed at rival Subway:
The chain’s new product, officially launched this week, comes in Meat Trio, Italian Steak and Buffalo Chicken and looks like a cross between a sub, a roll and a Costco-style chicken bake. Each comes with either ranch or marinara dipping sauce and sell for $3 ($5 for two).
Pizza Hut’s bid for sandwich domination involves transforming a pair of Chicago Red Line subway trains into giant P’Zolos and handing out freebies to passengers on Thursday. They’re calling it — natch — a “Subway Takeover.”
Subtle, they’re not. Then again, the P’Zolos’ creators also say they’re “rescuing sandwich-lovers from the doldrums of cold cuts.”
“It's more than a sandwich,” crows Kurt Kane, Pizza Hut’s chief marketing officer. “It's a new flavor creation that is leaving the sub category behind."

Lol, I think it was posted on here because it's hilarious. Look at it. Look at the description of it from the marketing chief. It's comedy gold.

From what I've heard, it's much much worse then a pizza sub. A pizza sub at one point was recognizable ingredients.
I would try one. But is it that much different from Subway's pizza sub (which they will still make for you, but don't usually have on the menu)?
The buffalo one was about as smashed as you can possibly get. It was a goopy, greasy heap of sup-par ingredients. Seriously, Subway may suck, but this isn't going to one-up them.
Or thanks pizza hut, but you can go stuffed-crust yourselves.
