Pizza Hut to Unveil P'Zolo Sandwich on Monday

On Monday, June 4, Pizza Hut will begin offering their newest menu item, the P'Zolo.  According to NRN, the P'Zolo, "...resembles a wrap more than the chain’s calzone-like P’Zone, the P’Zolo targets the sandwich competition both in marketing and price point."

The P'Zolo will come in three varieties, one for $3 and two for $5.  The varieties, all topped with Asiago cheese, include a, "...Meat Trio with Italian sausage, pepperoni, ham and cheese; Italian Steak with marinated steak, roasted vegetables and cheese; and Buffalo Chicken with white-meat chicken, buffalo seasoning and cheese. Each P’Zolo is served with a choice of ranch or marinara dipping sauce."

With no mention of a limited time offer, the P'Zolo looks to be a permanent menu addition at the over 10,000 Pizza Hut locations worldwide.

Dairy Queen's June Blizzard of the Month - Turtle Brownie

The nutritional information for a medium Turtle Brownie Blizzard from Dairy Queen includes 930 calories, 43 grams of fat, 89 grams of sugar, and 18 grams of protein.

Subway's June $5 Featured Footlong - Oven Roasted Chicken w/ Spinach

Subway gave us the long overdue Pizza Sub this May, but is now looking for something a little healthier for June.  The Oven Roasted Chicken with Spinach is the $5 featured footlong for the month and according to Subway, "Whether you’re a seafaring sailor man or just a flavor fan, you’ll love tender, juicy chicken with a super spinach boost. Enjoy it as a $5 FOOTLONG™ with everything from cool cucumbers to crisp green peppers on your favorite freshly baked bread, all June long."

Nutritionally, this is one of the healthiest things you can order at Subway.  The questions is, will you keep it that way?  Check out this Subway site and calculate how many calories, fat, protein, etc. will be in the sandwich based on how you have your sandwich made.
