Pizza Hut Japan has teamed with Rizap, a Japanese company promoting nutrition and exercise, to create a ‘diet pizza’.

The two companies aim to make the fast-food favourite more healthy, and have released three sugar-reduced varieties with Pizza Hut Japan.

Six stores around Tokyo’s Kanto area are offering the healthier options, including thick-cut bacon and grilled vegetables, savory bulgogi and teriyaki egg. They come baked fresh in a personal pan size.

As well as take-out, deliveries are available, each of the pizzas costing 1000 yen (US$9.99).

Each pizza crust has had its sugar content halved, while overall the new pies contain less than 30g of sugar (regular pizzas contain 55.2g).

Unfortunately, the healthy-style pizzas will be offered only until October 23.
