My friend—an editor of a restaurant trade publication—invited me to sample KFC’s Chizza with her on the day in February when the restaurant had transformed the store into a pop-up, serving the new menu item for free.

Yes, free.

There were lines around the block for the just introduced Chizza: two 100% white meat extra crisp fried chicken filets topped with marinara sauce, melty mozzarella cheese and crispy pepperoni.  Skeptical me. I was surprised at how moist, tender and tasty the fried chicken fillet topped with marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese and pepperoni was. One fillet pizza costs $5.99; two fillets are $12.99, and the combo with a two-fillet one, French fries, and drink costs $12.99.

The one-fillet Chizza contains 410 calories.

Chizza is available at KFC’s throughout the country.
