Pizza Hut Japan Has Created A Monster
July 17th, 2007 by James
Behold, Pizza Hut Japan’s new 646-calorie-a-slice Double Roll pizza:
One half of the pizza is the hamburg section, with the following ingredients:
- hamburg
- corn
- paprika
- crust stuffed with mini sausages and bacon (advertised as tasting really great with ketchup on it!)
The other half is the “gourmet” section:
- Italian sausage
- ham
- bacon
- bacon bits
- sliced tomato
- onions
- green pepper
- garlic chips
- basil
- black pepper
- crust stuffed with cheddar and mozzarella cheese (advertised as tasting really great when you put honey maple syrup on it!)
The pizza costs 2500 yen for a medium (about $20) and 3550 yen for a large (29 dollars). More details can be found at the Pizza Hut Japan homepage.

woh, that’s a real monster, even for a medium pizza
It’s not because you put all the ingredients you have in your store that the final product will taste delicious. I’m sure it tastes like a big “blurb”, like every other Pizza Hut’s products. Dominos rules.
In the name of all that’s good and decent, will the horror never stop!!??
Looks delicious, but damn, I don’t think I’d ever afford one of those :O
Woah… All my mouth are belong to this…
The syrup thing is an awesome idea, too. Usually Pizza Hut is a last resort for me, but this thing looks tasty. (*´w`*)
i didn`t know there is pizza hut in Japan
Do you actually call red peppers paprika? or are you just transliterating the katana_? perhaps the japanese got the name from america? just wondering, because theyre just plain old red peppers in england, alongside the similar but different coloured yellow and green peppers. plus, theres a spice called paprika, which im pretty sure is made of spicier stuff than plain old bland red peppers.
other than that, i mean it looks tasty enough, but seriously how fattening is that?? its like gathering all the bad stuff and then adding a little bad sauce on top, and some cheese.
Is it actually red peppers? I saw パプリカ in my dictionary and it had “paprika” as the meaning, so I just went with that.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paprika
“In many European countries the name paprika also refers to bell peppers generally.” In Japan as well it seems.
The image actually says 赤パプリカ, red paprika according to my dictionary as well. The problem is that “paprika” means something different in the rest of the world. So it’s an honest mistake. But what’s on that pizza is pretty obviously not paprika (which is the reddish powder commonly found on top of deviled eggs). It’s red pepper.
did it take anyone else a while to figure out ‘cheezy rolls’?
Also, I never cook, so I never really learned the vocabulary for spices and other stuff like that. I’ve heard the words “red pepper” before in America, though.
I have nightmares about the rest of the world getting fat like Americans. Please learn from our mistakes! I know it’s easy to say “oh, Japanese use moderation” but so did Americans 50 years ago. This is really depressing. Pizza Hut, get out of Japan!
Do you not actually live in Japan, Jenn, or are you living here and completely ignorant of the culture?
Pizza Hut isn’t even the biggest pizza delivery place in Japan. That honor goes to a home-grown place called Pizza-La. If Pizza Hut left, Pizza-La and Dominos would just pick up the slack.
The Japanese are perfectly capable of getting fatter without America. In fact, pizza isn’t even an American food. Japan actually has been influenced by countries other than the U.S. (hint: there’s a reason that the Japanese called bread “pan” and it has nothing to do with the U.S. contaminating the carbs in their food culture with evil bread products).
Most of the biggest fast food monstrosities in Japan have never even been on the radar in the U.S. (such as the disgusting hamburger mess that this entry was about or McDonald’s horrific “croquette burger” many years back which was some concoction of pasta in a deep-fried patty with a breaded exterior.
Honestly, blaming America for absolutely everything bad in every country including the eating habits the citizens choose of their own free will to make is getting out of hand. The reason American fast food places flourish is that people keep forking over their money for the food and the Japanese co-owners (and board of directors) of the franchises alter the fast food menu to appeal to local tastes.
Here’s a thought…Japanese people are capable of thinking for themselves and making their own choices about little things like what places they patronize and the food they order. I know, it’s a radical, but they really can think without American assistance!
Actually, no, Japanese people really aren’t capable of thinking for themselves. By the time they’re about 9 years old, they’re incapable of forming any opinions whatsoever. As such they’re really really susceptible to advertising/marketing, and will buy/consume whatever you tell them to. It’s really damn weird.
I realize this comment is kind of old, but I had to reply. “Japanese people” and “making their own choices” in the same thought … just … set off bells, and I had to say something.
Wow, uh, WTF? I don’t know where in my comment (that I admittedly didn’t really spend an hour researching, rewording, and thinking critically about) it said that I think that pizza alone is going to be the death of Japan, or where I blamed America as the cause of Japanese dietary downfall. What I said was “learn from our mistakes.” The post is about Pizza Hut’s monstrosity so I included a rather pertinent comment about Pizza Hut. In fact, my comment says “the rest of the world,” not just Japan. So getting from that to “Jenn is saying that she supports the re-occupation of Japan by America because they can’t think for themselves”… bravo!
Maybe you should work on your reading comprehension and learn to not put words in other people’s mouths before you go around writing huge diatribes and calling people you don’t even know ignorant.
Get bent, seriously.
If you eat the ‘double roll”, you’ll have double rolls,……..of fat!!!!!
I would try it, and I believe corn is the most popular pizza topping in Japan
Woah, this makes me want to take atrip to Japan, just for the sake of eating this baby!
ITS OBSCENE!!!!!
C.C. is going to go CRAZY.
Lets hope the UK pizza hut brings it out!
i don`t know there is pizza hut in Japan.
but i think there pizza is the best from here…………
This one looks much nicer that the Winter Double King. And by nicer I mean “more likely to send you into cardiac arrest”. But what a way to go….
Paprika is confusing – I think red pepper is a better term. Paprika is a spice made from the grinding of dried sweet red bell peppers (Capsicum annuum). In many European countries the name paprika also refers to bell peppers themselves. It’s mostly used for the powder in English, so to use ot for the fruit itself is confusing.
