Pizza Hut Qatar has taken a bold step by launching their fusion menu that combines the flavors of shawarma with pizza and snacks. Being a fan of Middle Eastern cuisine, I got a chance to taste their new range of meals that are inspired by shawarma. It was amazing. They have a range of dishes like pizza, melts, and spin rolls that are a fusion of a traditional shawarma experience. If you are looking for a review of Pizza Hut’s new range of shawarma dishes, then read below.
Chicken Shawarma Pizza – Middle Eastern Flavors on a Pizza
The size of the Chicken Shawarma Pizza ranges from small (QAR 29), medium (QAR 42), to large (QAR 59). I ordered the medium size, which is good for sharing with someone else or for those who wish to have a filling meal by themselves. The pizza has shawarma chicken, garlic sauce, mozzarella cheese, and baked crust.
What I love best is the harmony of flavors in this dish. The taste of shawarma is not overbearing, so it does not overshadow the cheese and the crust. The taste is such that each bite has a mix of smoky chicken, garlicky sauce, and cheese. It is rich without being heavy.
Pizza Hut has been successful in creating a fusion dish that is not a gimmick. It is a pizza that is good for a meal in Al Nasr Doha, and it is good for trying something new. Out of all the shawarma-inspired pizzas, I would say that the Chicken Shawarma Pizza is a standout. It is a versatile pizza that is good for a meal, and it is good for getting the most bang for your buck.
Chicken Shawarma Melts – Soft, Cheesy, and Convenient
The Chicken Shawarma Melts are available in a full portion for QAR 22 or melts for QAR 12. I opted for a full portion of the Chicken Shawarma Melts, and it was just right for a midday snack or a light lunch. These are toasted sandwiches made of soft bread filled with chicken shawarma, garlic sauce, and melted cheese.
The first bite was heavenly; the chicken is well-seasoned and juicy. It has melted cheese that complements well with the garlic sauce. Unlike heavy fast food meals that can weigh one down after eating, these melts are easy to eat and can be taken anywhere.
For solo eaters, this is perfect for a single serving size, while the full portion size is excellent if you’re sharing this dish or want more. I’d rate this dish under the convenience factor because it is easy to carry around and can be eaten quickly while retaining flavor. Out of this shawarma fusion menu, this is my second favorite dish because it is easy, delicious, and inexpensive.
Chicken Shawarma Spin Rolls – Perfect for Starters or Sides
The Chicken Shawarma Spin Rolls (QAR 22) are rolled snacks filled with juicy and tender chicken shawarma, cheese, and a touch of garlic sauce. They are small but full of flavor and taste. This dish was served alongside the pizza and the melts. It stood out as a perfect accompaniment to the other heavier food items.
The chicken filling is juicy and well-seasoned with the right balance of the creamy garlic sauce. It is also easy to pick up and does not spill the filling. It is a good accompaniment and starter dish, especially if you are sharing a meal with friends.
This dish may not be a replacement for the main course, but the Spin Rolls are a must-try if you are reading this review of the Pizza Hut shawarma items. It is a good option if you would like to taste the fusion concept without ordering a pizza or a melt. If I had to choose the shawarma items, I would choose the Spin Rolls as the third best dish.
My Top Recommendation – The Star of the Fusion Menu
After tasting all three dishes, Chicken Shawarma Pizza stands out as the best. It offers the best satisfaction in terms of flavors, quantity, and price.
The Melts are good if you are in the mood for a light meal, while the Spin Rolls are good as a side dish or starter.
If you are new to fusion food at Pizza Hut in Qatar, here are my recommendations. If you want to have the complete shawarma experience, start with the pizza. Then, have the Melts or Spin Rolls according to your appetite.
