History

Pizza Hut debuted stuffed crust pizza on March 26, 1995 and then engaged in a $45 million ad campaign promoting the pizza. Pizza Hut hired Donald Trump to advertise the pizza. Trump appeared in a 1995 commercial with Ivana Trump who he had divorced in 1992.[1]

Pizza Hut was sued by Brooklyn resident, Anthony Mongiello, for $1 billion after he claimed to have invented and patented stuffed crust pizza in 1987. Mongiello lost the case in 1999.[2][3]

DiGiorno also offers a cheese stuffed crust pizza beginning in 2001. [4]
