Cheetos Debuts Cheese Pizza Flavor in Exciting Snack Addition

Cheetos has long been a popular choice for those craving cheesy snacks, but the brand is now expanding its flavor repertoire by introducing something that echoes the taste of another beloved dish: pizza.

On Monday, Cheetos unveiled its newest product, Cheetos Puffs Cheese Pizza Flavor, which aims to replicate the experience of enjoying a slice from a favorite pizza joint.

In a statement issued to Food & Wine, the brand boasted, “From mac ‘n cheese to Buffalo wings, Cheetos is known for leaving its orange-dusted mark on game day favorite meals. Now, the brand has mischievously set its sights on pizza.” The flavor promises to blend classic cheese pizza elements, featuring rich cheese, savory tomato flavor, and fragrant hints of oregano and Italian spices, offering fans a novel way to indulge in this classic dish.

This new flavor marks a significant event as it is the first addition to the Cheetos Puffs line in over ten years. While it may sound fresh, this flavor has a historical background; it was previously available but was discontinued in 2005. Now, it returns to delight a new wave of fans.

In reference to the experience of pizza, Cheetos playfully acknowledged, “While we know nothing can compare to a fresh hot pie, Cheetos is proud to bring fans the second-best pizza thing.” The new product is especially timed for the impending Super Bowl, as it will be available in stores nationwide as well as on Snacks.com starting January 13.

For those looking to enhance their game day festivities beyond Cheetos’ latest offering, a wide array of snack options is available. Food & Wine has curated a list of 57 Super Bowl recipes and 48 tantalizing snack ideas designed to cater to hungry crowds. With these suggestions, even if the game does not go in favor of your team, the culinary offerings might just steal the show on game day.
