Lede:
Pizza Hut Hong Kong has unveiled its new “Star Cheese Crust” pizza series, featuring two inventive flavors—Yuzu Pepper Salmon and Sun-Dried Tomato Roasted Chicken—alongside a lineup of Japanese-inspired dishes and beverages. Available from today across all outlets for dine-in, takeaway, and delivery, the menu introduces a star-shaped crust stuffed with sausage and cheese, paired with a creamy ranch dip, marking a fresh direction for the chain.
The Star Cheese Crust Series
The limited-edition Star Cheese Crust pizzas are designed for those who crave bold combinations. The Yuzu Pepper Salmon option (regular from HK$179, large from HK$214) layers deep-sea salmon and succulent prawns with a zesty yuzu pepper sauce, delivering a bright, oceanic kick. Meanwhile, the Sun-Dried Tomato Roasted Chicken variant (same price range) combines rich sun-dried tomato sauce with tender chicken and spicy pepperoni, balancing sweetness and tang. Both pizzas feature the signature crust—each star point filled with juicy sausage and melted cheese—and come with a side of smooth ranch dip for extra indulgence.
Japanese-Inspired Offerings
Alongside the pizza launch, Pizza Hut has introduced a range of Japanese-accented dishes and drinks, catering to local preferences for variety and fusion flavors. The new sides and beverages include:
- Japanese Curry Pork Cutlet Omurice (from HK$95): Crispy breaded pork cutlet over omurice rice, topped with mildly spicy Japanese curry for a trio of textures.
- Osaka-Style Fried Chicken (from HK$85, or HK$54 as an add-on): Juicy fried chicken coated in a tangy Osaka-style sauce, offering a crunchy, appetizing bite.
- Golden Peach Bread Pudding (from HK$75, or HK$45 as an add-on): Soft bread cubes baked into egg custard with sweet peaches—creamy yet not overly sweet.
- Mint Chocolate Mochi (from HK$40, or HK$30 as an add-on): Chewy mochi filled with refreshing mint and rich chocolate chips.
- Red Gold Passion Fruit Oolong (from HK$46, or HK$28 as an add-on): Tart passion fruit meets smooth Four Seasons tea for a refreshing drink.
- Morning Dew Rose Lychee Oolong (from HK$46, or HK$28 as an add-on): Delicate rose and lychee notes infused into oolong tea.
Promotions and Availability
Customers can enjoy add-on pricing on selected Japanese items when purchasing a set meal or any pizza, salad, pasta, rice, or main course—up to three add-ons per transaction. The Star Cheese Crust series and Japanese offerings are available now across all Pizza Hut Hong Kong locations, with no confirmed end date yet, though the crust is marketed as a limited-time feature.
Broader Impact
This dual launch reflects Pizza Hut’s strategy to refresh its menu with globally inspired flavors while retaining its pizza core. By incorporating premium ingredients like deep-sea salmon and Japanese-style preparations, the chain seeks to attract adventurous diners and compete in Hong Kong’s crowded fast-casual market. For food enthusiasts, the limited-edition crust and fusion sides offer a chance to explore new tastes without leaving familiar comfort.

As food trends continue to blur cross-cultural lines, such menu innovations may become more common across quick-service brands in the region.
