The Internets are all a fury with the news that Pizza Huts’ hot dog stuffed crust pizza (The Hot Dog Bites Pizza) would finally be coming to America. (Meanwhile, I’m still waiting for the freaking Bacon Box to catch on…)

Yeah, we went there. 6.18.15. #HotDogPizza https://t.co/A8IJEwK3ST

Some people love it.

Some people despise it.

But there’s one thing that can’t be debated:  A lot of hard work went into developing the pizza. Fortunately, the actual* brainstorming notes from the Hot Dog Bite Pizza creative development meeting were leaked recently.

Below are some excerpts, while you can view the full page here.

Every good idea involves at least one venn diagram.

Whew…we were THIS close to a puppy stuffed crust pizza.

Would really like to see the full discussion.

The engineers have their work cut out for them.

More tough questions being asked.

More work for the engineers…

I’m not sure they picked the best name.

Wow, really insightful stuff here. I learned more from these notes than in the five years I spent in college.

And I sure as heck can’t wait for the Churro Crust Pizza!

But seriously, WHEN CAN I GET A BACON BOX?!
