Chizza (Not Pizza) features two 100% white meat Extra Crispy fried chicken filets topped with zesty marinara sauce, melty mozzarella cheese and crispy pepperoni.
Chizza made its debut on KFC menus in the Philippines back in 2015 and since then the unique KFC dish has made its way around the world to Korea, Taiwan, India, Thailand, Germany, Spain and Mexico, among other countries. Now, you can experience the global phenomenon here in the US for the very first time.
To celebrate its US debut, KFC will transform its restaurant at 242 E 14th St. in New York City – the pizza capital of the U.S. – into a one-of-a-kind “Chizzeria” pop-up where fans will get to try Chizza before anyone else for free. The KFC Chizzeria offers one menu item only, hot & fresh Chizza, in a KFC-ified, modern take on a classic pizzeria. The world’s first Chizzeria (probably) opens its doors for a limited time, Friday, Feb. 23-Feb. 24 (1-9 p.m. ET), but don’t worry, Chizza is available to the rest of the country starting Monday, February 26, 2024.
Also returning to KFC restaurants nationwide temporarily is Blackberry Lemonade – a fruity and tart drink to refresh the taste buds while enjoying the Chizza combo meal.
