Pizza Hut is celebrating 50 years of business in Japan this year, and to help mark the occasion, the chain has been providing us with a slew of new and unusual pizzas, including a “Too Much Coriander Pizza” and one topped with Wieners and coffee.

Now, the chain is going back to the ’90s for its latest release, reissuing a series of pizzas that were popular at Pizza Hut at the end of the last century in what they’re calling “Pizza Hut Japan Arrival 50th Anniversary Reissue! 90's (Nineties)“.

So let’s take a look at the four pizzas returning from the ’90s for a limited time!

While these pizzas will take your taste buds on a nostalgia trip, Pizza Hut says they’re also designed to help encourage communication between parents and children. Given the widespread interest in the ’90s right now, the pizzas are able to act as a conversation starter between the older and younger generations, prompting parents to share their memories of the decade over pizza.

So whether you’d like to wax lyrical about the ’90s or simply munch on a good pizza, Pizza Hut’s new series is ready and waiting for you, priced from 1,400 yen at outlets around the country from until October 22.

I’ve never heard people talk about the 90’s before. Don’t know why they would be interested in it. It was a boring decade. Bad music, bad movies and by the looks of Idaho pizza-bad food.

The 90's were atrocious and so is Pizza Hut Japan. Naturally, this piece was done by SoraNews24. Are they even legit? It seems like they are a glorified blog and always promoting food. We are already bombarded by food reporting on the terrestrial TV broadcasts in this nation of expert gourmets. Enough is enough. I anxiously await for the news report announcing Pizza Hut is bankrupt.

 reissuing some favorites

How about offering JUST pepperoni and cheese?

No mayo, no corn, no eggplant, no shrimp, no crap?

Just the basics?
