Junk food history lesson incoming: the U.S. is just the latest stop on Chizza\u2019s world tour. KFC\u2019s fried chicken\/pizza hybrid debuted in the Philippines in 2015 and has appeared in several other countries since. For those of us who are encountering this limited-edition item for the first time, though, it is sure to inspire many questions, such as \u201cHow is it pronounced?\u201d (I\u2019ve heard \u201ccheese-uh\u201d but I\u2019m partial to \u201ccheat-za\u201d) and \u201cIsn\u2019t it more similar to chicken parmesan than pizza?\u201d (sure, but \u201cKentucky Fried Chicken Parmesan\u201d wouldn\u2019t sound as catchy).<\/p>\n
Of course, the most important question is, \u201cIs it any good?\u201d My answer: it\u2019s Chizz-amazing.<\/p>\n

Unaware that it came in different sizes, I was caught off guard when the employee taking my order asked if I wanted a full or half order, but it all made sense when, after perplexedly opting for the full, I opened the box and was greeted by two massive fillets. An unsatisfying portion is a common reason for me to deduct points, but Chizza is in no danger of getting dinged in that regard. Even from under its dense coating of mozzarella, marinara sauce, and pepperoni, I could tell how plump and juicy the abundance of chicken was. And promisingly, the toppings were applied so generously that, for perhaps the first time in my reviewing career, my meal looked just like the one in the promotional pictures (even down to the barely melted strands of shredded cheese).<\/p>\n
As a born-and-bred New Yorker, I\u2019d never usually eat pizza with a fork and knife, but this was a special occasion\u2014and this steamy, saucy behemoth was absolutely not finger food\u2014so I cut right in and was rewarded with a beautiful bite.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Unsurprisingly, the chicken was pitch-perfect, succulent on the inside, and perfectly seasoned and crisped on the outside, but it shared its spotlight with the pizza ingredients quite magnanimously. On their own, they weren\u2019t especially special \u2014 the cheese was slightly chalky, the herby flavor of the sauce was more of an aftertaste, and the surprisingly hot pepperoni was otherwise pretty straightforward \u2014 but mingling in one mouthful with that charming chicken, they came together to create the perfect proportions of savory, salty, and spicy.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
I had been thrilled to try Chizza for the novelty appeal, but I hadn\u2019t expected to genuinely love it. I think it worked so well because of how tender my chicken was. Fast food can be hit or miss, and if you happen to get unlucky with dry chicken, I can see this being a real slog. But since I was blessed with such a solid foundation, the toppings could really only enhance it. At that, they did a wonderful job.<\/p>\n
Aside from a lame duck piece of chicken, the only other big complaint I can imagine is the fact that, unlike most other offerings from KFC, this one\u2019s not easily portable. But I think even the most diehard on-the-go-eater would be wise to stop and smell the pepperoni; no matter how you slice it (or pronounce it), Chizza is worth sitting down for.<\/p>\n
