When we last heard from Olive Garden, they were trying to kill decent hardworking Americans with an unholy hybrid of nachos and pasta. Now, they’re dishing out something even more dangerous: A giant, bowl-shaped pizza crust jammed with cheese, sauce and meatballs. It’s called the Meatball Pizza Bowl.
The OG Meatball Pizza Bowl is part of some menu death trap called “Lunch Duos,” in which select menu items can be ordered in discounted pairs – bring a friend you don’t like very much and let nature take its course. As for the item itself, the bread bowl reportedly tastes identical to the restaurant’s famed breadsticks, “thanks to the same herbs and spices on top.” The restaurant itself let customers know about the item on National Pizza Day on Twitter:
"I wanna celebrate #NationalPizzaDay but Olive Garden doesn't have pizza." – A bunch of people who were wrong before seeing this tweet. pic.twitter.com/EgIH5x6jIT
