TL;DR

Pizza Hut is partnering with Twitch for a live gaming series, Friday Night Bites, on the Twitch Rivals stage. The series will feature celebrity guests, pro-gamers, and influencers competing in games and pizza-themed challenges.

After the success of last year’s Friday Night Bites series on Twitch, Pizza Hut is taking it to the next level on the Twitch Rivals stage. This monthly, celebrity game night/pizza party will bring together celebs, influencers, and pro-gamers into one stream - all under a common love of pizza. Last year’s limited-run Friday Night Bites series had more than 1M live viewers each episode. Past guests include Adam Devine, Hannah Stocking, Jerry Ferrara, and more.
