Hello. Today’s new Pizza Hut menu I’m introducing is White & Black Steak Gnocchi. It’s a meat-pizza-style item made by pairing a white truffle sauce with a BBQ sauce. With winter here, many pizza chains are rolling out seasonal items, and today I ordered one of the most approachable options among them. For this release, you can order the truffle and BBQ versions separately, or choose a half-and-half that includes both. Let’s take a closer look.

White & Black Steak Gnocchi Price and Key Features

Pizza Hut’s new White & Black Steak Gnocchi combines white truffle sauce and black BBQ sauce in a half-and-half format. On top of that, it comes with meat toppings featuring flame-grilled steak, and—uniquely—adds gnocchi as well. The toppings and sauces feel familiar yet unexpected at the same time, which makes it stand out. For reference, there are also standalone versions made with just one sauce (truffle or BBQ). If you want both, the half-and-half option is available, so keep that in mind.

Let’s check the price. As mentioned earlier, you can order this as either a single-flavor pizza or a half-and-half. Note that the half-and-half option is not sold in a Medium size.

Pizza Hut’s 40th anniversary event is still ongoing, so this menu also gets a pretty substantial discount. They’re also selling pasta and, as a hot deal, a single chocolate brownie set. I ordered the half-and-half, and for the crust & edge I chose the Cheddar Gold Edge (Large). As you can see, you only get two hot sauce packets and pickles, and dipping sauce is not included by default, so keep that in mind when ordering.

White & Black Steak Gnocchi: What’s Included

I ordered the White & Black so I could enjoy both flavors. The moment I opened the box, I immediately got a gentle BBQ sauce aroma, the scent of grilled steak, and that signature nutty smell of pizza dough and cheese.

How the meat flavors come together on pizza

Since it’s a meat-style pizza and the sauces are BBQ and truffle, I expected the toppings to be pretty simple. But even aside from the large gnocchi pieces—the key topping—it also feels like there’s a decent amount of vegetables.

Because it’s half-and-half, the sauces were split evenly (4 slices each). That said, it felt like the BBQ sauce was applied a bit more heavily than the truffle side, though I’m not sure if that’s just the nature of the sauce.

Comparing the flavors of the sauce combinations

For vegetables, it includes some roasted cherry tomatoes, a bit of broccoli, and deeply roasted onions. This menu doesn’t have a separate tomato sauce under the cheese. I couldn’t confirm the exact cheese, but it appears to use Pizza Hut’s premium mozzarella.

There’s more steak than I expected, so the meatiness comes through quite strongly. The golden-brown Cheddar Gold Edge also pairs really well, making the overall look even more appealing.

Types of pizza that are good as bar snacks

White & Black Steak Gnocchi Taste

Now let’s get to the tasting. I started with the white truffle sauce side. The main note is, of course, truffle aroma. The scent itself isn’t as strong as you might expect; it’s more subtle, and with the steak aroma added in, the two blend nicely.

Compared to the truffle burgers that have been coming out lately, the truffle note here is more of a light accent. So even if you’ve been a bit put off by that distinctive artificial truffle scent, you’ll probably find this one quite easy to enjoy.

Comparison of pizza sauce characteristics

The flavor is very mild and generally crowd-pleasing. If it feels a little rich, it’s a great menu to have with a drizzle of hot sauce. Because the truffle isn’t overpowering, it works well with the other toppings, and the meat flavor and gnocchi also come through nicely, making it a solid choice for a meal.

Next, I tried the BBQ sauce side right after. The first thing that hits you is the salty, intensely smoky BBQ sauce. I’m not sure if it’s supposed to come with this much sauce, but it tasted even saltier than most bulgogi pizzas.

It’s not that it tastes bad, but the sauce is so strong and salty that it was a bit hard to eat without a cold soft drink or beer. Since it’s a bold flavor, it works as a snack with drinks, but eating several slices as a full meal might be a bit much. I stopped after two slices, and if you told me to eat three or four, I might not have been able to.

Overall, the toppings are solid, and there’s a good amount of meat, so it feels well-balanced. The gnocchi doesn’t necessarily add more flavor, but the chewy texture is fun when you come across it between bites. After trying both sauces, I’d choose the white sauce for a meal and the black sauce for something to pair with drinks. Which one sounds more like your style? Like I did, you can go half-and-half, or pick based on what you’re in the mood for. It also feels like a great option to enjoy as part of a year-end treat.
