Pizza Hut outlets in China have introduced a unique dish that’s causing quite a stir on social media — the ‘Goblin Pizza’. The pizza, which includes a deep-fried bullfrog as a topping, has gone viral after an image of its advertisement was shared widely online.
The pizza features a thick crust, a red sauce base, and is topped with a whole bullfrog, along with parsley. Two hard-boiled egg halves and black olives are arranged as “eyes” for the frog. The Chinese caption in the viral image mentions that the special bullfrog topping is available for a limited time.
In China, bullfrog is considered a delicacy and is commonly eaten in various dishes. However, the introduction of frog as a pizza topping has raised mixed reactions. Some social media users were shocked by the unusual combination, with one commenter saying, “Cannot decide which is worse: The frog or the grotesque ‘eyeballs’ above it.” Another user added, “I do eat frogs but not with pizza. Prefer traditional style of cooking.”
The ‘Goblin Pizza’ was created in collaboration with the popular mobile game ‘Dungeon & Fighter: Origins’ and Pizza Hut China. David Henkes, a global food trendwatcher, shared the image on social media, noting the growing trend of frog as a topping in the region.
The pizza’s bizarre combination of ingredients has sparked both curiosity and discomfort, leaving many questioning whether this culinary experiment is a step too far.
