KFC to offer Chizza in US. What is it? Check date, ingredients

KFC is set to launch a new pizza-inspired menu item across all its locations nationwide, beginning next week. This offering consists of two fried chicken filets made from white meat, adorned with other ingredients, as per a USA Today report.

KFC has revealed plans to add the Chizza, pronounced "cheet-za", to its menus across the US starting from Monday, February 26, for a limited period.

Chizza initially appeared on their menus in the Philippines back in 2015 and has since been introduced in various KFC outlets across the globe.


Meanwhile, Yum Brands' quarterly sales missed Wall Street estimates earlier in February, with weaker growth across its top chains, as fewer customers ordered at Taco Bell, KFC and Pizza Hut amid a choppy spending environment in the United States, as per a Reuters report.

It also joined rivals McDonald's and Starbucks in taking a sales hit from the Israel-Hamas war.

The company flagged a "low single-digit headwind" to fourth-quarter sales from the conflict that dented business in the Middle East and other markets like Malaysia and Indonesia.

The impact had continued into the current quarter, but it should moderate as 2024 progresses, Yum said.

The Middle East, Turkey and North African markets make up about 6 per cent of KFC's system-wide sales, while Middle East and Africa account for 5 per cent of those at Pizza Hut.

Meanwhile in the United States, inflation-weary consumers — particularly low-income households that frequent fast-food chains like KFC and McDonald's — have been cutting costs, including by switching to home-cooked meals.
