"Keeping in line with our commitment to make our customers' favorite pizzas more affordable than ever, we've lowered the price of our famous Lover's Line," said Kurt Kane, Chief Marketing Officer at Pizza Hut. "At Pizza Hut, you can never have enough of your favorites and our Lover's pizzas give you just that. With The Ultimate Cheese Lover's, we've turned the simple 'cheese pizza' into a taste explosion for cheese lovers."

A New Love

New to the Lover's lineup, the Ultimate Cheese Lover's pizza packs an extra cheesey punch. This new recipe is a mouth-watering combination of Alfredo sauce and three cheeses – Romano, Parmesan, and Pizza Hut's signature pizza cheese– blended to create an ultimate cheese experience like no other. A pizza with this much ooey, gooey cheese had to be called the Ultimate Cheese Lover's.  

Many Pizza Hut fans only have eyes for longtime Lover's pizza recipes, and they are in luck. The usual suspects from the Pizza Hut Lover's menu are also just $10.99.

• Pepperoni Lover's – the classic love with 50 percent more pepperoni and 50 percent more cheese
• Meat Lover's – topped with more than a pound of meat and cheese with six favorites: pepperoni, pork sausage, Italian sausage, ham, beef and bacon
• Veggie Lover's – a herbivore's dream loaded with tons of fresh veggies
