The non-vegetarian variant comes with with chicken momos around the edges. Pizza Hut has created a unique sauce recipe for the Momo Mia Pizza with schezwan flavors.

The Baked Cheesy Momos will come with street-style mixed vegetable and paneer momos or chicken momos at the base, topped with mayonnaise sauce and spicy schezwan sauce, and mozzarella
cheese.

“During the pandemic, we found that consumers are longing for desi street style food and momos emerged as the dish they were craving most, after gol gappas. This led to multiple experiments and we finally perfected Momo Mia’s recipe, which is truly a foodie’s dream come true. We are excited to see consumer reactions to this Epic combination of two much loved stalwarts – Momos & Pizzas,” said Neha, chief marketing officer, Pizza Hut India.
