Chic Fil A finds itself playing catchup once again. After the world went nuts for Popeyes’ spicy chicken sandwich Chic Fil A had to ratchet it up with its own spicy line. The company with the cows urging us to, “eat more chikin,” are doing a food #MeToo by introducing its own fried chicken pizza.
Trying to Be Clever
Chic Fil A announced their latest food product on March 14th, affectionately known as Pi Day by nerds the world over.
Chic Fil A is serving pizzas in 6 flavors on 11-inch disks. Chic Fil A claims the idea came to them after noticing their customers getting creative with their nuggets the day before church. Chic Fil A fans were posting chicken recipes using nuggets and tenders, so the test kitchen shrugged and said why not.
We’ve noticed our customers getting creative with Chick-fil-A ingredients on pizzas at home, so we’ve decided to jump on board!

The Chic Fil A pizza is available in these flavors:
- Chick-fil-A Pizza Pie: Mozzarella cheese topped with chopped Chick-fil-A nuggets, drizzled with Chick-fil-A sauce and served with pickles.
- Buff-lo-Ranch Pizza Pie: Mozzarella cheese topped with sliced Chick-fil-A nuggets, buffalo sauce and house-made ranch dressing drizzles, and a dusting of zesty lemon pepper seasoning.
- Cheese Pizza Pie: Signature tomato sauce topped with mozzarella cheese.
- Pepperoni Pizza Pie: Signature tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese, topped with pepperoni.
- Meats-n-Veg Pizza Pie: Signature tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese, topped with a medley of pepperoni, sliced sausage, chorizo, meatballs, mushrooms and red bell peppers.
Where Can You Get the Chic Fil-izza
Chic Fil A has no plans to bring these “pizzas” to its regular restaurants. Instead, you can try the Chic Fil-izza at its Little Blue Menu restaurants at places around the country. The new snack debuted at the Little Blue Menu in College Park, Maryland not too far from our DC office. We’ll head up there and write a proper review for you soon.

P.S. I can’t believe I’m doing this again. KFC’s Chizza left me with a pounding headache.
