Smash or Pass? KFC Combines Pizza & Fried Chicken For It’s Latest “Chizza” Creation

Pizza and fried chicken enthusiasts, rejoice! 

The ultimate dilemma of choosing between these two delectable dishes is officially a thing of the past, as KFC is set to unleash its latest creation, “Chizza,” nationwide. Picture this: two succulent fried white meat chicken filets generously smothered in marinara sauce, adorned with gooey mozzarella, and topped off with zesty pepperoni – a culinary masterpiece in every bite perfect for the fast foodies of the world. KFC announced its latest menu item on Wednesday via Twitter. 

So….the Chizza is out of the bag. 👀 *marks calendar for Monday* https://t.co/KvmVbPTuSp

While this may be new to U.S. customers, Chizza has been around for a few years. Originally unveiled in the Philippines in 2015, the Chizza has since embarked on a global journey, making its mark in Germany, Mexico, and beyond. New Yorkers will be the first to try the Chizza on Friday when KFC introduces an exclusive “Chizzeria” pop-up shop at 242 E 14th Street from 1:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. 

For those not in the NYC area, the Chizza will make its way to locations nationwide on Monday, February 26th. Hungry Chizza seekers can opt for the solo pizza-chicken experience or as a combo meal with fries and a drink. It’s unclear if this is a limited edition item, so those eager to try the Chizza should act quickly.
