You could make the argument that the combination seems too weird to work. Alternatively, one could contend that, with curry and pizza already being two of the world\u2019s most delicious foods as separate entities, combining them carries the risk of creating some sort of super cuisine that, once tasted, we\u2019d all be unable to stop eating, leading to the collapse of society as all other human activity is preempted by thoughts of \u201c\u2026or we could just go get more curry pizza instead.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But regardless of whether or not curry pizza should exist, it <em>does<\/em> exist. On June 15,<strong> Pizza Hut Japan<\/strong> started baking its new <a href=\"https:\/\/soranews24.com\/2026\/05\/11\/pizza-hut-now-sells-curry-pizza-in-japan\/\"><strong>Drinkable Cheese Curry Pizza<\/strong><\/a> (or \u201cNomeru Pizza Cheese Curry\u201d if you\u2019re ordering in Japanese), and, even knowing the danger we might be exposing ourselves to, <strong>its siren song was too strong for us to resist taste-testing it<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-733572\" src=\"https:\/\/soranews24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/05\/2_847992.jpg?w=640\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Opening up the box, the initial visual impression isn\u2019t so shocking, since the curry goes on the crust first and then gets mostly covered up by the cheese. Speaking of the cheese, Pizza Hut\u2019s curry pizza uses two types, and neither is mozzarella. Spread on top of the curry is a <strong>cheddar cheese sauce<\/strong>, with a liquid-like consistency that justifies the \u201cDrinkable\u201d part of the pizza\u2019s name. Then, out towards the edge of the crust, there\u2019s <strong>gouda cheese<\/strong> too.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-733573\" src=\"https:\/\/soranews24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/05\/3_160e80.jpg?w=640\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s so much cheese and curry that it almost overflows, but the Drinkable Cheese Curry Pizza\u2019s crust gets thicker as it get farther from the center.<strong> It\u2019s not a conventional thick crust, and it\u2019s not a deep-dish pizza either, but more like a basin, keeping the gooey goodness on the dough even as each individual slice doesn\u2019t have all that much verticality<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-733574\" src=\"https:\/\/soranews24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/05\/4_571cdd.jpg?w=640\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>And yes, this gooiness is good<\/strong>. Taste-testing duties fell to our Japanese-language reporter Yayoi Saginomiya, who found the mix of cheese and curry to be <strong>captivatingly delicious<\/strong>. As is often the case with curry in Japan, the focus here is more on the dish\u2019s savory qualities, and the intent isn\u2019t to pummel you with spiciness. So while the flavor of curry shines through, it doesn\u2019t hit you with any particularly piquant properties, making the Drinkable Cheese Curry Pizza easy to share with friends or family even if they aren\u2019t spice fiends.<\/p>\n<p>\u25bc A medium-size Drinkable Cheese Curry Pizza is priced at 2,230 yen (US$14.50) for carry-out and 3,190 yen for delivery.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-733575\" src=\"https:\/\/soranews24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/05\/5_eb1e7c.jpg?w=640\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" \/><\/p>\n<p>But while Yayoi\u2019s notes indicate that Pizza Hut Japan\u2019s curry pizza is every bit as tasty as we\u2019d hoped\/feared, this doesn\u2019t mean that society is doomed. It\u2019s only scheduled to be on the menu until June 15, or while supplies last, so we will eventually have to go back to doing things other than eating curry pizza\u2026but not for a while.<\/p>\n<p><em>Photos \u00a9SoraNews24<\/em><br \/>\n<em>\u25cf Want to hear about SoraNews24\u2019s latest articles as soon as they\u2019re published? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/RocketNews24En\">Follow us on Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RocketNews24En\">Twitter<\/a>!<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Too much of a good thing, or just enough?
