(KTVI) – Pizza Hut has launched a new pizza-burger concept that offers the best of both worlds. The chain officially introduced its cheeseburger melt on Tuesday.

The cheeseburger melt consists of beef, applewood-smoked bacon, onions, mozzarella, and cheddar, inside a thin-crust, Parmesan-flavored shell. It also comes with burger sauce on the side.

Unlike a traditional burger, the cheeseburger melt doesn’t use a bun. Pizza Hut is hopeful that will give the new delicacy a crunchy and oozy taste.

“As a brand known for exceptional pizzas, venturing into the burger business is an exciting first for us,” said Lindsay Morgan, Chief Marketing Officer at Pizza Hut, via a news release. “We thought we’d kick off our burger journey with something bold. That’s why we’re making waves in burger chain drive-thrus, serving up our delicious new Cheeseburger Melt for all you burger lovers out there.”

Each order of melts features two slices of Pizza Hut’s signature Thin N’ Crispy crust. The melt is also part of the new My Hut Box offer that allows customers to enjoy a side of fries or wings and a 20-oz drink with the melt. The My Hut Box starts at $6.99.

There’s a chance you could win a free cheeseburger melt too. Pizza Hut says some delivery drivers will have QR codes placed on the back of their windows to scan. Those who scan can enter sweepstakes to win a free cheeseburger melt with a 20-oz Pepsi-product drink.
