Loyal Pizza Hut Canada fans can now enjoy a pizza that's truly fit for a king!

Starting March 4, 2013, Pizza Hut Canada introduces Crown Crust Pizza - a spectacular crown-shaped crust pizza - with pockets of succulent meatballs and creamy, cheesy gems baked right into the crust.

The crowd-pleasing Crown Crust Pizza made international headlines last year when it was launched in the UK and Middle East.

"Crown Crust Pizza is Pizza Hut Canada's crowning achievement and it brings a festive, fun flavor to any gathering with family and friends," says Beverley D'Cruz, Director of Marketing at Pizza Hut Canada. "You can even customize your Crown Crust Pizza with two of your favourite toppings," she explains.

Pizza lovers and foodies who want to try this taste sensation must make haste because the regal delicacy will only reign in Canada for a limited time. Pizza Hut Canada's Crown Crust Pizza is available at Pizza Hut delivery and dine-in locations from March 4, 2013 to April 14, 2013.

Enjoy a large Crown Crust Pizza for $17.99, which includes your choice of two toppings in addition to the meaty, cheesy crust.
