we wanted to find out all the differences

between Pizza Hut in Japan and the US.

This is "Food Wars."

In Japan, a Pizza Hut pizza comes in three sizes.

The smallest comes in a My Box order

and is approximately 15 centimeters.

Our small can only be made on a gluten-free crust.

Check it out.

Looks like something you would get

at your high-school cafeteria.

And it measures 10 inches, or 25.4 centimeters.

Our next size up is a medium,

which is 26 centimeters.

I'm gonna take this little guy.

This pizza is so good, dude.

And our large pizza is 14 inches,

or 35.5 centimeters.

This My Box pizza deal includes fries

and chicken nuggets for 1,080 yen,

or add a Basque cheesecake

for 1,290 yen,

or get three My Boxes

for 3,000 yen,

and you can get a free side menu item,

like 1.5 liters of Coca-Cola.

Also, for those wanting a little alcohol,

you can get a My Box deal

with an alcoholic beverage for 1,100 yen.

It's called Being Tipsy set.

Ah, tipsy.

Now I'm going to the boxes, baby!

Our next size up is a $13 dinner box.

It is a medium one-topping pizza,

breadsticks, and cinnamon sticks.

This is the best idea.

If I had to go into an office,

this would be my briefcase.

This is what I would take to work every day.

Now, you're probably thinking,

"Oh, Joe, I want more food in a box."

Well, Pizza Hut of course

has you covered with the big dinner box.

Ah-hem.

Oh, it is the big dinner box!

This is [grunts]

two one-topping pizzas with wings or breadsticks.

That's what I got, of course.

You can also get pasta and breadsticks.

You can also get Quepapas and breadsticks,

or just a third pizza,

all for $23.99 to $24.99.

Man.

Dinner is served.

You can get chicken on the bone in two pieces,

four pieces, and eight pieces.

That's really cute, Japan. Two wings.

In the US, our wing orders start at six,

12,

18,

and the biggest order you can get, 36.

Wow, that's the hottest?

WingStreet, you gotta hire a spice expert,

because this is nothing, dude.

I've had spicier LaCroixes.

Here is a Japan large basic pizza.

We call our cheese pizza basic,

and it is 2,030 yen.

or $18.39 US.

And it has a surface area of

754.77 square centimeters.

So that is about $0.024,

or 2.63 yen per square centimeter.

The US large cheese pizza is $13.99,

or 1,544 Japanese yen.

It has a surface area of 989.9 square centimeters,

which breaks down to $0.014

per square centimeter,

or 1.54 Japanese yen.

Much cheaper here in the US.

So, here are two large basic pizzas.

This one right here is hand-tossed dough,

and this one right here is a pan pizza.

Here are two large US cheese pizzas.

One of them has the pan crust,

and one of them has the hand-tossed crust.

Both are the same size and the same price.

We want to find out which gives you

more pizza for your money.

Let's weigh a slice of each and compare.

George: Go!

So, winner is:

ta-da!

Hand-tossed dough.

Oh, wow.

That's, like,

that's crazy, how good I did just there.

Look at that.

Same price, 25% more pizza.

Look at these!

Here's everything you can get

at the Japanese Pizza Hut you cannot get in the US.

And here is everything you can get at a US Pizza Hut

you can't get in Japan.

Japan-exclusive pizzas!

OK!

So, I got everything on here

in half and half

and in medium size on hand-tossed crust.

All right, so let's start with this one.

So I got this toku-uma bulgogi.

Toku-uma means special delicious.

So it's special delicious bulgogi.

And this one is menta potemayo bacon.

Menta means spicy cod roe,

and it looks good.

So, next one we've got

double shrimp with special lobster sauce,

and this one is grand barbecue.

Asparagus bacon.

And this one is potato sausage mayo.

Next one, we've got crumbling

pulled pork,

and next one, spicy pulled pork.

Selected cheese and thick-cut Iberico.

And this one is Super Supreme.

Mexican Kara Peno.

Kara means it's spicy,

so spicy jalapeño on there.

And next one is snappy potato sausage.

And this one is green and yellow veggie pizza.

Shrimp mayo mentai seafood.

And this one is addictive anchovy and black olive.

First exclusive-US-pizza pizzas.

This one right here, it is the meat lover's pizza.

Look at this thing!

Can you see that?

This thing is pepperoni, Italian sausage, ham,

bacon, seasoned pork, and beef.

That's every meat in the store, I think.

This one right here is the Hawaiian chicken pizza.

This looks like one bite would send me to my grave.

This at least has a vegetable on it.

I think green peppers were a mistake.

This one right here,

chicken bacon Parmesan.

Chicken, bacon, tomatoes, and a Parmesan crust.

Oh, yeah, dude. Look at the crust on this.

They bake the cheese right into the crust.

I just love that Pizza Hut's like,

"We gotta cover every surface with cheese."

God forbid you would take a bite

of something that doesn't have cheese in it.

In Japan, you can get a pizza

with four different topping areas

called the Four Series.

So let's start with this one.

It's called Gochiso Four.

Gochiso means feast.

And next one, we've got Bulgogi Festa Four.

So, let's move on to the next one.

We've got Lovers Four.

Lovers!

What?

Is this for this beef?

It's gonna be horrible.

And this one is called Kodawari Four.

Kodawari means authentic.

And this one in front of me is Gourmet Mania Four.

What did I do to you, Pizza Hut?

It's burned!

Look at this!

All right, next one.

And the last one is Classic Four.

This is classic.

Deluxe!

This one right here,

the backyard barbecue pizza.

Barbecue sauce instead of pizza sauce I think.

And it comes with a barbecue honey. Shall I?

I think I shall.

Oh, yeah, I think I'm gonna like this.

Don't sleep on the Pizza Hut honey barbecue.

This is really good.

I think this is Buffalo chicken pizza.

Tangy Buffalo sauce.

Exact opposite problem.

I think the sauce ruins this.

Too strong. Skip the sauce.

So, this one right here is a Japan-only pizza.

So this is a pizza with a

boom!

Sausage crust

with bulgogi, teriyaki chicken,

Camembert cheese, Gouda cheese, green chili sauce,

shrimp, squid, tuna mayo,

broccoli, corn,

basil sauce, and anchovies.

Too much.

But let's give it a try.

Look at this.

Just too much.

Itadakimasu.

Mm.

It's disgusting.

In the first place, I hate anchovies.

Don't put anchovies!

It's just

mazui!

I picked out that pizza for you, George.

Sorry, my man. Gotta do it for the show.

Here is a USA-only pizza.

It is a pizza with toppings and sauces and cheeses

you can only get in the US and not in Japan.

First, we have the gluten-free crust.

Remember that really sad-looking crust?

We can have a creamy garlic Parmesan,

barbecue, or Buffalo sauce as a base.

I went with the creamy garlic Parmesan.

Got meatballs, banana peppers,

and for the crust,

pretty sure I went the garlic Parmesan.

It's not awful.

When you order food and you're, like, really hungry,

so something sounds like it's gonna be really good,

but then when you start eating it, you're like,

"Oh, I think I screwed up."

This is definitely like ...

skip this.

[thud]

So, here we've got Japan's exclusive sides.

We've got chicken nuggets,

and this is four pieces,

eight pieces,

16 pieces.

And we also have plain flavor and spicy flavor.

Let's try this.

Plain!

This is plain.

Everything is plain!

I want spicy!

Where is spicy nuggets?

And next one, we've got honey cheese balls.

So cheese balls there, and we've got honey syrup.

So, next one, we've got Japanese-style tatsuta chicken.

So this chicken is marinated in soy sauce

and rolled in potato starch instead of wheat flour

and deep-fried.

Let's talk about US-exclusive sides.

Can't get these in Japan.

Pizza Hut also got pasta.

Referred to at one point as Pasta Hut.

You can get two of these baked pastas at our Pizza Huts.

One is the Tusca --

Tuscani --

What? What'd I say?

Fine.

No, Tuscany is T U S C A N Y.

They spell this one with T U S C A N I.

No, come on. I'm looking it up. Keep rolling.

Ad: Now at Pizza Hut,

get a family-size Tuscani pasta

for just 12 bucks. Joe: Ha-ha! Tuscani!

In your face!

Just an absolute abuse of Italian culture.

Here is the Tuscani chicken Alfredo pasta

and the Tuscani meaty marinara pasta.

If I can't put a fine enough point on it,

I do not want to eat this at all.

This looks like a TV dinner.

Like, this is what you eat in your apartment

sitting on a folding chair,

one light bulb hanging from the ceiling,

eating this just right out of the oven,

staring at a wall,

looking at, like, cockroaches running up and down.

Your one window has a view of a brick wall.

The calendar on the wall is from three years ago.
