LOUISVILLE, Ky. - From the fried chicken chain that brought you the Double Down, KFC has done it again – pairing the unexpected to create another mouthwatering meal. Starting Feb. 26 for a limited time, KFC is introducing the international smash hit, Chizza ("cheet-za"), to KFC menus in the U.S.* It's not pizza, it's Chizza: two 100% white meat Extra Crispy™ fried chicken filets topped with zesty marinara sauce, melty mozzarella cheese and crispy pepperoni.
Starting Feb. 26, the international hit Chizza will be coming to KFC menus in the U.S. for a limited time. It’s not pizza, it’s chili: two 100% white meat Extra Crispy™ fried chicken filets topped with zesty marinara sauce, melty mozzarella cheese, and pepperoni. To celebrate Chizza’s stateside debut, KFC will transform its restaurant at 242 E 14th St. in New York City into a one-of-a-kind “Chizzeria” pop-up serving one item only, the Chizza! Visitors to the Chizzeria try the Chizza for free and before anyone else.
Chizza first debuted on KFC menus in the Philippines in 2015, and since then, the KFC exclusive 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 U.S. for the very first time.
"Fried chicken and pizza collaborated to create something even better – the Chizza," said Nick Chavez, CMO of KFC U.S. "The fan-favorite mashup is finally available in the U.S. after making its way around the world – try it while you can!"
Enjoy the Chizza on its own or add up the experience with the combo meal, including the Chizza, Secret Recipe Fries and a medium drink.
To celebrate its stateside 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 customers 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, Feb. 26.
KFC customers can use the KFC app to order their Chizza ahead of time and skip the line to pick it up on KFC's dedicated Quick Pick-Up shelf and sign up for KFC Rewards to start earning rewards on digital orders and unlocking FREE KFC.***
Also temporarily returning to KFC restaurants nationwide is Blackberry Lemonade, the perfect fruity and tart drink to refresh the taste buds while enjoying the Chizza combo meal.
