we wanted to find out all the differences

between Pizza Hut in the US and in India.

This is "Food Wars."

The smallest pizza in the US is the personal pan pizza,

and it is 6 inches across.

In India, our pizzas start at personal size.

It's seven inches wide and has four slices.

The US also has a small pizza,

but only with the gluten-free crust,

and it is

difficult.

10 inches wide. So depressing looking.

Then we're on to the mediums.

A medium pizza here in India is 10 inches

and has six slices.

Joe: A US medium pizza comes in at 12 inches wide.

This medium pizza is equal to the small pizza in the US.

People in the US, sometimes it's just really hard

not to stereotype you guys.

Next up in India, we have nothing.

Because medium is our largest size.

That's right, we have only two sizes, personal or medium.

No large for us because

Pizza Hut is watching our weight, I guess.

Stereotype away, my man,

because in the US, you know we got this large,

and it is 14 inches in diameter.

So America's largest pizza

is 4 inches wider than India's largest.

That doesn't sound so bad.

However.

If you calculate the surface area of the two pizzas,

those few inches make a big difference.

The Indian medium has a surface area of 78.5 square inches,

while the US large clocks in at 153.9 square inches.

To save you from doing the math, that's a 96% increase.

That means the US large pizza

is nearly double our Indian medium.

What the heck, Pizza Hut?

The type of crust you get

doesn't affect the width of the pizza,

but how does it affect the value?

We're going to weigh a medium hand-tossed slice

versus a medium pan-crust slice

to see which one gives you more pizza for your money.

All right, I'm going to do the same with our pan

and San Francisco-style pizzas, the medium size.

All right. So, medium hand-tossed weighs

94 grams.

Pan, the thick boy.

Boy!

Whoa! 104 grams.

That's a difference of -- what was the first one?

That's a difference of this many grams.

This one is pan style, and it weighs 78 grams.

This slice

weighs 66 grams.

Fairly lighter,

and I think this is because when they make this pizza,

they press it down into the pan,

and that's the San Francisco style.

This weighs more and therefore is more,

'cause it's more bread.

You want the cheese and the sauce.

You want the fun stuff, right?

I don't -- no.

Oh, boy, this is gonna be trouble.

Here is everything you'll find on the menu

at Pizza Hut India that you will not find in the US.

And here are all the Pizza Hut menu items from the US

you won't find in India.

Let's start off with the foundation of any pizza:

the crust, starting with

the San Francisco signature style.

To my understanding, it's basically a pan pizza,

but they press the dough in with their hands

so it's kind of hand-tossed.

Next up, we have something very special.

It's a Schezwan pan pizza.

Oh, my God, yeah. I really like this.

It's spicy. Really yum.

Just to give you some comparison,

the way chicken tikka masala was invented in the UK

but clearly inspired by Indian cuisine,

Schezwan sauce was actually invented here in Kolkata

by the Chinese community that settled down here.

But it's obviously inspired by Chinese cuisine,

and now it's become part of Indian cuisine.

We have accepted it wholly, and we eat it all across India.

Very exciting to see it integrated into the Pizza Hut menu,

and it actually tastes very good on this pizza.

Next up they have a stuffed cheese crust Maxx,

with two X's for emphasis.

You can already see that this thing is loaded with cheese.

Next to the cheese, alongside it,

there's, like, a sort of creamy sauce,

which Pizza Hut is calling Peruvian creamy sauce.

Whoa!

Oh, my God, yeah. This is decadent food.

Next up we have a stuffed crust with veg kebab.

That's right. If you don't know what kebab is,

it's basically meat that's cooked in a tandoor.

If you don't know what a tandoor is,

please go watch the older episodes of "Food Wars."

I've explained it eight times.

A lot of people like to leave the crust behind,

but I feel like Pizza Hut is making sure

all of the pizza is eaten, because even this looks

like a dish in itself at this point.

Oh, my God, that's really yum.

And the final option:

the stuffed crust with a non-vegetarian kebab.

Ooh.

As you can see, this is what looks to be chicken seekh.

Oh, that's the best of the lot.

That was amazing. Oh, my God.

Smashed it, Pizza Hut.

That might be the best pizza I've had on "Food Wars" so far,

and I didn't even eat the pizza part.

We also have a variety of crust options in the US,

starting down here. You saw it already.

Here it is again, the hand-tossed.

This to me is, like, classic. This is the default.

You guys don't have hand-tossed?

Moving on: Thin 'N Crispy.

I mean, how much -- look at this.

They can't charge the same amount for this, right?

I don't think they should.

Moving on over here: the original stuffed crust.

They put cheese in the crust.

Can you believe that?

Ugh, no, it is solidified.

That doesn't stop me from biting into it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Last and, let's be honest, least: gluten-free crust.

Look, I don't know what's going on with gluten allergies,

and my apologies if you have one, but I'm looking at this,

I'm just like, I'm sorry, guys.

I mean, is this that much better?

I don't know how you can enjoy this.

And for a limited time,

Pizza Hut in the US has Detroit-style pizza!

Let's go! Let us go.

Look at this. Are you kidding me with this?

Detroit-style pizza. What's Detroit style?

Well, they cook it in a square pan that has sides to it.

It's like when you cook brownies

and every brownie is a corner or end piece.

It's like that, for pizza.

So every slice is going to have

the crispy crust on the outside. It's thicker.

One of my favorite pizza styles.

I'm glad Pizza Hut's doing it.

Generous with the pepperoni, guys. I appreciate it.

Not the best Detroit-style pizza I've ever had,

but it's pretty good.

I think they go bread, cheese, topping, sauce.

These are the toppings we found under the categories

classic, favorites, and delight.

Very arbitrarily named,

but, yeah, let's jump into it.

The first option is chicken sausage.

Smells really good.

A lot of onions. I love onions.

Mm.

It's pretty classic.

The next pizza is spiced paneer.

Paneer, if you don't know, is cottage cheese.

We make it all over the place here in India,

and it's one of our favorite ingredients.

We use it on everything, even pizzas.

Not very spicy,

but definitely it's got, like, a tangy twist to it.
