Chick-fil-A Tests Surprising New Menu Item: 'Love Before Bite'

Chick-fil-A's test kitchen, known as "Little Blue Menu" in College Park, Maryland, is making waves by experimenting with a new line of pizza flavors, incorporating some of the brand's most beloved ingredients.

This innovative approach offers a fresh twist on pizza, featuring unique toppings such as their signature chicken nuggets, Chick-fil-A sauce, and a variety of other ingredients that pay homage to the fast food chain's iconic menu.

Menu Highlights:

  1. Chick-fil-A Pizza Pie: A novel take on pizza, this pie layers mozzarella cheese with chopped Chick-fil-A Nuggets, a generous drizzle of Chick-fil-A Sauce, and pickles, creating a delightful mix of flavors that resonate with the classic Chick-fil-A experience.
  2. Buff-lo-Ranch Pizza Pie: For those who enjoy a kick, this pizza combines mozzarella, sliced Chick-fil-A Nuggets, spicy buffalo sauce, creamy house-made ranch dressing, and a sprinkle of zesty lemon pepper seasoning.
  3. Cheese Pizza Pie: A traditional option featuring a signature tomato sauce and bubbly mozzarella cheese.
  4. Pepperoni Pizza Pie: A classic favorite, this pizza boasts a signature tomato sauce topped with mozzarella cheese and savory pepperoni slices.
  5. Meats-n-Veg Pizza Pie: A hearty option, this pie is loaded with pepperoni, sliced sausage, chorizo, meatballs, mushrooms, and red bell peppers over a signature tomato sauce and mozzarella base.
  6. Pepperoni Pizza ‘Round: A unique twist on the calzone, designed to be portable and filled with signature tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, and crispy pepperoni, baked to a golden-brown perfection.

The introduction of these pizzas is a response to Chick-fil-A fans who have been creatively using the chain's ingredients to make pizzas at home. This move by Chick-fil-A, spearheaded by senior culinary lead developer Stuart Tracy, acknowledges and embraces the innovative spirit of its customer base.
