"Hitting the main menu nearly two years ago, Pizza Hut's Chicago Tavern-Style Pizza immediately impressed customers with its signature Chicago crispy thin crust. However, our reviewer opted for the medium original pan crust for a thicker base to hold not one, but two types of pepperoni toppings. True to the name, the Tavern-Style Double Pepperoni Pizza features both crispy-cupped pepperoni and regular pepperoni slices, scattered over sweet marinara sauce, and finished with Parmesan-oregano seasoning."
"It sounds like a pepperoni-lover's dream come true, right? Wrong - the reality is merely "overwhelming and greasy", according to our reviewer. As it turns out, there is such a thing as too much pepperoni. Once you've already got the crispy-cupped pepperoni, the remaining topping becomes redundant. It doesn't bring anything new to the table, except for more grease, slightly chewier bites, and unnecessary richness."
The Tavern-Style Double Pepperoni combines crispy-cupped and regular pepperoni over sweet marinara, finished with Parmesan-oregano seasoning. The pizza is available with a Chicago crispy thin crust or a thicker original pan crust option to support the double toppings. The dual pepperoni approach creates excess grease and redundancy, producing slightly chewier bites and unnecessary richness. The thick, oily crust amplifies the heaviness for the pan-crust version. Opinions on the pie vary, with some finding only the crust compelling and others calling the overall experience passable but largely boring. Opting for the thin crust reduces the overload.
