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:
