Review: Pizza Hut - 3-Cheese Stuffed Crust Pizza

Pizza Hut's 3-Cheese Stuffed Crust Pizza is the chain's newest pizza innovation. It's similar to Stuffed Crust Pizza but features pockets of white cheddar, mozzarella, and provolone rather than a smooth ring of enclosed mozzarella.

I picked up a large pizza topped with Italian sausage for $12.
