Pizza Hut just launched a new menu item.

The fast food giant seems to have been inspired by the affordable pizza joints you can find in New York City.

These tend to be sold by the slice – and you can pick up the late night treat in The Big Apple for around a dollar.

The Big New Yorker costs £13.99 and is cut into six gigantic wedges instead of the standard 12.

So are the huge slices actually worth the hype? We decided to give it a try at Daily Star HQ to see for ourselves.

When Pizza Hut launched the new pizza size, I had to get a slice of the action.

It comes in both Margarita and Pepperoni flavours – or you can "create your own" if you're feeling fussy.

I opted for the meaty option and felt pretty excited when it turned up.

After opening the box, I initially felt a bit daunted by the huge slice in my hand.

I feared it could get a bit messy – but unlike smaller slices, the bigger ones are easier to hold and fold.

And it was quite satisfying to know you could eat one massive slice and then feel satisfied – the perfect portion for lunchtime.

I would definitely say a pizza box can feed two people, unless you're really hungry, definitely go for a second.

So was it worth the £13.99?

If you're sharing, it definitely feels like good value to us.

It's also quite fun for the novelty factor – and the chain also launched specially designed pizza boxes for The Big New Yorker orders.

It features artwork of various Ninja Turtle character illustrations to really bring to life the partnership.

Hazell White, Head of Brand and Innovation at Pizza Hut, said: "We've always had a close link to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

"Now we're so excited to be launching The Big New Yorker, the same pizza in the movie, in our restaurants at a budget-busting £13.99!"
