What exactly the cluck?

Chick-fil-A has gone from regional fast food curiosity to national staple in a matter of years for good reason — but the chicken sandwich slinger may need an intervention on the heels of this latest news: It’s about to start selling pizza.

A statement released by the popular chain reveals that they aren’t just rolling out one pie beginning on Monday, they’re experimenting with a whole line, leading off with the house special — a chicken nugget, pickle and Chick-fil-A sauce topped number. (No, it’s not Apr. 1 — sorry.)

Not that you’ll be seeing the crazy, possibly delicious crossovers at your local restaurant — the sketch-sounding line of ‘za’s is being tested at a spinoff concept called Little Blue Menu, opened in College Park, Maryland near Washington, D.C., back in 2023.

The name is said 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 place for the swiftly-growing chain to test out new ideas — from burgers to Brussels sprouts and even chicken wings.

Here, the list of soon-to-be-rolled-out pies, provided by the company:

  • 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. Stuffed with signature tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese and crispy pepperoni, baked to the perfect golden-brown crisp.
