What precisely the cluck?
Chick-fil-A has gone from regional fast food curiosity to national staple in a matter of years for good reason — however the chicken sandwich slinger might have an intervention on the heels of this latest news: It’s about to start out selling pizza.
An announcement released by the favored chain reveals that they aren’t just rolling out one pie starting on Monday, they’re experimenting with an entire line, leading off with the home special — a chicken nugget, pickle and Chick-fil-A sauce topped number. (No, it’s not Apr. 1 — sorry.)
Not that you simply’ll be seeing the crazy, possibly delicious crossovers at your local restaurant — the sketch-sounding line of ‘za’s is being tested at a derivative concept called Little Blue Menu, opened in College Park, Maryland near Washington, D.C., back in 2023.
The name is alleged to be an homage to the blue menus Chick-fil-A founder S. Truett Cathy had on the tables at his first restaurant in Georgia, Eat This, Not That! reported.
The somewhat-secret eatery is reportedly a spot for the swiftly-growing chain to check out latest ideas — from burgers to Brussels sprouts and even chicken wings.
Here, the list of soon-to-be-rolled-out pies, provided by the corporate:
- Chick-fil-A Pizza Pie The classic Chick-fil-A experience on a pizza. Mozzarella cheese topped with juicy, seasoned-to-perfection chopped Chick-fil-A Nuggets, drizzled with Chick-fil-A Sauce and served with pickles.
- Buff-lo-Ranch Pizza Pie Mozzarella cheese topped with seasoned-to-perfection sliced Chick-fil-A Nuggets, buffalo sauce and creamy house-made ranch dressing drizzles, and a dusting of zesty lemon pepper seasoning.
- Cheese Pizza Pie Signature tomato sauce topped with mozzarella cheese, baked to bubbly perfection.
- Pepperoni Pizza Pie Signature tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese, topped with savory 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.
- Pepperoni Pizza ‘Round A twist on the classic calzone, but meant to be carried a ‘Round. Full of signature tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese and crispy pepperoni, baked to the proper golden-brown crisp.
