The Pizza Hut Double Pepperoni Pizza delivers twice the flavor for pepperoni lovers. Served on a Large Tavern-Cut Crust, this pizza is sliced into 16 crispy, square pieces for easy sharing. It features two distinct layers of pepperoni—classic pepperoni slices and crispy cupped pepperoni—combined with savory tomato sauce and melted mozzarella cheese. The result is a bold, meaty bite in every square, perfect for those who can’t get enough of Pizza Hut’s signature pepperoni flavor.
What size is the Double Pepperoni Pizza available in?
The Double Pepperoni Pizza is exclusively served as a Large Tavern-Cut Pizza, which is cut into 16 smaller, square-shaped slices instead of the traditional triangular ones. The Tavern-Cut crust is thin and crispy, making it a popular choice for sharing at gatherings or family dinners. The smaller slice size allows guests to enjoy more variety and makes the pizza perfect for parties where multiple pizzas are served. The Large size is designed to feed around 3–4 people, depending on appetites and whether sides are ordered.
Can I customize the toppings?
Yes. Pizza Hut allows full customization of the Double Pepperoni Pizza. You can add extra cheese for a creamier, more indulgent bite, include vegetables like mushrooms, onions, or green peppers for added freshness, or replace one type of pepperoni with another meat option such as Italian sausage, ham, or grilled chicken. For those who prefer lighter toppings, you can even request half pepperoni and half vegetables. Keep in mind that any changes may affect the nutritional values and final price.
What’s the difference between the two pepperoni types?
This pizza features two distinct pepperoni styles to maximize flavor and texture. The classic pepperoni slices are thin, savory, and provide a traditional pizza taste with mild spice. The crispy cupped pepperoni curls up at the edges during baking, creating small cups that crisp up and intensify in flavor, adding a smoky, slightly spicier bite. The combination delivers a layered pepperoni experience that’s more flavorful than a standard single-pepperoni pizza.
Does it contain MSG?
The Double Pepperoni Pizza does not have added monosodium glutamate (MSG) in its preparation. However, some of its ingredients—such as cheese and cured meats—naturally contain glutamates, which are not the same as added MSG. These naturally occurring glutamates are present in many everyday foods and help enhance the savory, umami flavor of the pizza. Customers with specific dietary concerns should consult their local Pizza Hut for the most current ingredient information.
How much protein is in a slice?
Each square slice contains around 5 grams of protein, primarily from the pepperoni and mozzarella cheese. Since the pizza is cut into 16 slices, protein content per piece is relatively moderate, making it easy to adjust your intake by choosing how many slices to eat. Adding more meat toppings or extra cheese can significantly increase the protein count, while removing pepperoni will lower it.
Can I make it vegetarian?
As served, the Double Pepperoni Pizza is not vegetarian because both the classic and cupped pepperoni are made from a blend of pork and beef. However, you can request a vegetarian version by removing all pepperoni and substituting vegetable toppings such as mushrooms, bell peppers, onions, spinach, or olives. You could also add extra cheese for more richness. This will make the pizza suitable for lacto-vegetarians but not for vegans, as it still contains dairy-based cheese.
Is there a gluten-free version available?
Currently, the Double Pepperoni Pizza is not offered with a certified gluten-free crust at most Pizza Hut locations. Even where gluten-free crusts (such as Udi’s®) are available, they may only be offered with select pizza types. Additionally, because all pizzas are prepared in the same kitchen environment, there is a risk of cross-contact with gluten-containing ingredients. For this reason, it is not recommended for people with Celiac disease or severe gluten intolerance.
Is the pepperoni spicy?
The classic pepperoni used on this pizza has a mild, traditional flavor profile with just a hint of heat. The crispy cupped pepperoni, however, is slightly spicier and more robust, delivering a smoky punch that complements the overall taste. Together, they create a balanced heat level that most customers find flavorful without being overwhelmingly hot. For those who prefer extra spice, you can add jalapeños, banana peppers, or a drizzle of hot sauce.
What is the sodium content?
Each slice contains about 330 milligrams of sodium, mostly from the pepperoni, cheese, and tomato sauce. While this is a moderate amount per slice, eating multiple pieces can quickly increase your daily sodium intake. The American Heart Association recommends limiting sodium to 2,300 mg per day for most adults, so customers on a low-sodium diet should be mindful of portion sizes or consider customizing the pizza with fewer processed meat toppings.
Can I order it half-and-half with another pizza?
Yes. Pizza Hut allows half-and-half orders, meaning you can have Double Pepperoni on one side and a different pizza on the other. This is a great way to satisfy multiple preferences in one order. The only rule is that both halves must share the same crust size and style—in this case, the Large Tavern-Cut. The price is usually determined by the more expensive half, and nutritional information will vary depending on the combination.
