Pizza Hut fans and millennials— rejoice! The fast food chain just announced that they are bringing back their iconic 90s mini red-and-black basketball toys in honor of the NCAA March Madness tournament.
These nostalgic basketballs will only be available for a limited time only, starting March 14th at locations nationwide. Each costs $7 and brings back memories for many customers who recall the original menu offerings.
This feels like perfect timing after some TikTokers noted in a recent video that the chain “wasn’t the same anymore” and that they longed for a blast from the past! Here’s what we know about the special treats:
