January brings with it the post-holiday blues and a desire for cost savings to combat against holiday spending, which is seeing new initiatives like the Pizza Hut Original Stuffed Crust Pizza & Wings Bundle be launched with this in mind. The promotion starts off with a one-topping Original Stuffed Crust pizza along with 16 breaded boneless wings and two dipping sauces in either ranch, blue cheese, garlic sauce or marinara flavors. The meal bundle is priced at $19.99 to make it a cost-effective option for diners to order for smaller or slightly larger gatherings.
The Pizza Hut Original Stuffed Crust Pizza & Wings Bundle is available now at participating locations, but will only be around for a short time.
