Interesting and sometimes unusual pizza flavors are not unique to the Taiwanese market. However, Pizza Hut's latest creation has sparked an uproar among Tainan locals.

Video script: 

Tainan’s iconic beef soup is a local favorite, renowned for its freshness and fragrant broth—but have you ever tried it with pizza?

Pizza Hut’s latest creation, the “Beef Hotpot Pizza,” features this well-known delicacy in the middle of the pizza, leaving people either intrigued or outraged and sparking intense discussions online. Traditionalists argue that the soup is nothing like the original, while some joke that the product has offended both Italians and Tainan locals alike.

Weird pizzas are nothing new to the market—Domino’s introduced a cheese volcano pizza, while Napoli featured a Mapo Tofu Pizza. It seems the stranger, the better, as these unique creations boost visibility. 

While it might be polarizing, hopefully, the creation won’t start any beef among international foodies.
