One of the perks of working at <em data-node-id=\"2.1\">Delish<\/em> is that eating is, quite literally, part of the assignment. But a dedicated paid gig for munching on pizza? Well, well, well. I&#8217;m listening.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"3\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Pizza Hut is now looking for a Hut Crust Connoisseur, which is a very official-sounding title for someone whose assignment is basically: eat pizza, focus on the crust, and have thoughts. The company is framing it as a real paid project for the fan who feels strongest about the outer edge of the pie, not just what&#8217;s happening in the middle.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"4\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">And yes, the payout is real: $31,415.92, plus free pizza for a year.<\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"watch-next\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-18\" data-node-id=\"5\" class=\"embed\"\/>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"6\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">To throw your hat in the ring, you have to try Pizza Hut&#8217;s updated Hand-Tossed pizza, post an Instagram review using the required contest tags, and then submit that post through the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pizzahutcrust.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"http:\/\/www.pizzahutcrust.com\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"campaign site\" data-node-id=\"6.1\" class=\"body-link css-8bav6j emevuu60\">campaign site<\/a>. Applications are open from March 11 through March 25, so this is very much a limited window for people who have always believed crust deserves more respect.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"7\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">The whole thing is tied to Pizza Hut&#8217;s new Hut Crust campaign. As part of it, they&#8217;re putting extra attention on its Hand-Tossed crust, which it says has been refreshed for the first time in more than a decade. The updated version is meant to be lighter and airier, while still keeping that familiar Pizza Hut softness. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"8\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">To round out the push, Pizza Hut is also running a $10 large three-topping pizza offer on Hand-Tossed, Tavern Style, or Thin &#8216;N Crispy crust.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"9\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">If you&#8217;ve ever been the person defending the last bite as the best bite, Pizza Hut would like a word.<\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"editorial-link\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-19\" data-node-id=\"10\" class=\"embed\">\n<aside class=\"css-u95ltk e94w1mj3\"\/><\/section>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2 min read Pizza Hut is looking for a paid Hut Crust Connoisseur to taste-test crust and review new pizza innovations.
