Pizza Hut in China is very different than the American version. The restaurant itself is much nicer, encouraging you to sit-down and enjoy a higher-end experience. While I was in Shanghai, I managed to walk by one, though sadly, not be able to dine there – I’m not tempted by Pizza Hut in the US. For an idea of the difference, check out this video:

That said, I also stumbled across some fun differences in their menu. Some very interesting differences. Here are some menu items that you don’t see here in the States:

• Seafood Supreme (Thousand Island Sauce) Pizza
• Portuguese Chicken Rice
• Bacon Penne with Truffle Parsley Sauce
• Baked Vegetables in Portuguese Sauce
• Mashed Potato with Bacon in White Sauce
• French Style Escargots with Mashed Potato
• Thousand Island Seafood Con Carne
• Snack platters that include chicken wings, waffle fries, mini-sausages and baby back ribs

I also love that the delivery people in their advertising can shoot fire from their hands. That’s a great way to keep the pizza warm on its way from the restaurant.
