When it comes to combining two of Japan’s most iconic foods, Pizza Hut has outdone itself with the launch of a brand-new Ramen Pizza that Naruto fans would absolutely love. Inspired by Jiro-style ramen, this over-the-top creation is drenched in soy sauce and stacked with toppings like cha shu pork, garlic sauce, thick noodles, and even pork back fat. It is a wild twist on traditional pizza that ramen lovers will not want to miss, especially fans of Naruto Uzumaki, anime’s most famous ramen enthusiast.
Unfortunately, there is a catch. According to Pizza Hut Japan’s X account, this epic pizza is currently only available in Japan, meaning Naruto fans worldwide will have to wait in hope, or book a plane ticket, to experience the ultimate fusion of ramen and pizza. Priced at 2,750 yen (about $17.79 USD) for just the pizza or 2,940 yen ($19.31 USD) with tea, this dish is an adventurous leap into a world of umami flavors that are perfect for ramen lovers.
The Ultimate Naruto-Worthy Ramen Experience
A Pizza Fit for the Number 1 Ramen Lover
It is no secret that Naruto Uzumaki loves ramen, Ichiraku Ramen is practically his second home. Throughout Naruto and Naruto Shippuden, ramen is a symbol of comfort, friendship, and perseverance, making this Pizza Hut creation something the ninja himself would be obsessed with. Jiro-style ramen, known for its rich flavors and generous toppings, fits Naruto’s love for hearty, satisfying meals perfectly.

For Naruto fans, this Ramen Pizza is a dream come true. It takes the best parts of ramen, the umami-packed broth, thick noodles, and tender pork, and transforms them into a pizza that delivers all those comforting flavors in a new way. While some purists may be hesitant about combining ramen and pizza, adventurous foodies and anime lovers alike will likely see it as the perfect tribute to Japan’s favorite noodle dish.
Will the Ramen Pizza Make Its Way Worldwide?
The Global Wait for the Ultimate Fusion Dish
While Japanese Pizza Hut customers can enjoy this one-of-a-kind dish right now, the rest of the world is left wondering if they will ever get the chance to try it. Fast food chains often introduce limited-edition items that generate buzz but do not always make it past their country of origin. However, given the global popularity of both ramen and anime with other promos like the Attack on Titan ramen noodles, it would not be surprising if Pizza Hut eventually considers expanding this offering.
For now, fans outside of Japan will have to settle for dreaming about this legendary pizza or attempting to recreate it at home. Given the viral nature of unique fast food crossovers, the demand for a worldwide release could grow if enough ramen and anime fans rally for it. Whether or not this happens, one thing is certain and that is that Naruto would approve of this epic mashup, and fans can only hope to get a taste of it in the future.
