The company has also launched a Pioneer store in Nanjing, China, which is a product testing facility for Pizza Hut to offer and test new menu innovations with customers directly before rolling them out across more than 2,200 stores.
Based on customer preferences, the pizza chain will initially introduce a range of menu choices, including Italian pizzas and a ‘dirty’ dessert series, which includes brown sugar ice-cream, tiramisu and café lattes.
Yum China CEO Joey Wat said: “Connecting to a younger generation of consumers and ensuring the brand stays fresh and relevant are fundamental to our revitalisation strategy.
“Our refreshed brand identity marks a new chapter for Pizza Hut in China, reflecting our commitment to bringing customers innovative experiences and dishes.
