Joe Avella: At a Pizza Hut in the US, the pizza size that you want to get is often dictated by the type of crust you want to get. For instance, this right here is the smallest you can get, 6 inches, but you can only get it with the pan crust. Harry: In the UK, our pizzas come in three sizes. Firstly, we have the small. [crickets chirping] OK, so they didn't actually have a small pizza when we went, because they said that no one orders them and if they do they normally just give them mediums. However, a small is supposed to be 9 inches across. Joe: In the US, at a Pizza Hut, Joe: In the US, at a Pizza Hut, the only small pizza you can get is one with gluten-free crust. This one here is 10 inches. Harry: The next size we have in the UK is the medium pizza. This one is 11 inches across. Joe: The large you also get in the hand-tossed, the pan, or the thin and crispy crust. This one: 14 inches. Harry: Pizza Hut in the UK also offers an all-in-one pan box meal, where you can get a large pizza of your choice as well as two sides and two sauces. Joe: Here in the US, you can get two box meal options. This first one is a medium pizza, five breadsticks, and some dipping sauce, and then 10 cinnamon sticks with dipping icing. And it comes in one box? That really helps when you're eating this in your car by yourself. [laughing] Not big enough, you say? Don't worry. Pizza Hut has got you and the family covered. This is the big dinner box. Ooh, man! [laughing] Look at this, dude! It's like opening the suitcase in "Pulp Fiction." [angelic music] This looks awesome! You got two pizzas. I got pepperoni, and I got sausage. 10 cheese sticks, and you get an option of either pasta or chicken wings. Get real. Get wings. Joe: In the UK, we got these ones from a restaurant, and they gave us a portion of six barbecue wings. Joe: Not to be outdone, we went ahead and proved a point to no one by going just a little bit further with our wing size options. You can get six, you can get 12, you can get 18, or 36. [upbeat tuba music] Lemon pepper? Nope, I don't like that. Harry: Who's getting the better deal for their money? Well, in the UK, a large cheese pizza will cost you 15 pounds 99. That's a price of 15 cents per square inch. Joe: The US large hand-tossed cheese pizza is about $13.99, which is about 9 cents per square inch, making it about 40% cheaper than the same pizza in the UK. Harry: So, here we have a large classic-crust cheese pizza and a large pan-crust cheese pizza. Now, these are the same price and the same diameter. We wanted to find out which one gives you more pizza for your money, so what we're going to do is try and weigh equivalent slices and see which one comes out on top. Joe: All right. We will weigh a large slice ourselves. Harry: So, Pizza Hut large pizzas in the UK are supposed to be cut into 10 slices, but they've actually cut this into eight, so what we're going to do is try and find the slices that are the same size, for scientific accuracy. Let's weigh a slice of classic crust cheese and see what it comes to. Now let's weigh the pan crust. So, our equivalent-size slice of pan pizza is about 103 grams. Joe: Similarly here in the US, this is the hand-tossed, this is the pan, both large cheese. Pan. So, one slice of pan is about 125 grams. Hm. Do the next one. Slice is almost the exact same size. 80 grams. That's, like, significantly less pizza. Same price. Ah, yeah. Stick with the pan. Look how thick that is versus this. Harry: In the UK, a large pan pizza should be cut into 10 slices, but ours is eight. Assuming it was 10 slices, each slice would be 226 calories, and that brings the total for a large pan to 2,260 calories. Joe: In the US, our pizzas apparently are all eight slices regardless of size, so one slice of a large pan Pizza Hut pizza is 360 calories, making the entire pie 2,880 calories. Harry: One of these also contains 99 grams of fat as well as 3,400 milligrams of sodium. Joe: This entire pizza also has about 135 grams of fat. 54 of those are saturated fat, which I'm certain is the bad fat. And it also has 5.31 grams of sodium. That, in case you didn't know, punch in, is 221% of your daily sodium intake. Don't eat this all in one day. Harry: It's got 100% of your daily flavor in it. What about the most calorific thing on the menu? Well, in the UK, that's a large stuffed crust pepperoni feast. If it is 10 slices, each slice is 292 calories, bringing the total to 2,920. One of these pizzas contains more than double your daily sodium allowance and more than triple your saturated fat allowance. Joe: If you want to have even more calories in your pizza, then you've got to go with the most calorific pizza on the Pizza Hut menu, and, thank you, Conner, that is, of course, the meat lovers. This entire thing is 3,760 calories. 400% of your daily saturated fat. 400! And it also is three times your daily sodium. If I've not put a fine enough point on it, don't eat this. Harry: Here's everything in a pan-pizza base from a UK Pizza Hut. Wheat flour, water, yeast (baker's yeast, rehydrating agent E190), vegetable rapeseed oil, salt, premix (salt, calcium sulphate, emulsifiers E481, E472e, E471, flour-treatment agent E300, enzyme (alpha amylase, xylanase, glucose oxidase, protease, cullulase)), sugar, flour-treatment agent, ascorbic acid E300. Joe: In the US, our pan dough has enriched flour, which is bleached wheat flour, malted barley flour, niacin, furious sulfate? Don't mess with that sulfate. He's pissed. Thiamine mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid; water, yeast. It contains 2% or less of salt, soybean oil, vital wheat gluten, sugar, enzymes, ascorbic acid, sodium stearoyl lass-ih-tight. Lac-the-lite. I
