1. KFC'S CHIZZA MAKES A COMEBACK

Remember when KFC launched the Chizza in 2017? It's back in Singapore for a limited time only!

Boasting 100 per cent chicken and no crust, the Chizza offers the satisfaction of pizza without carbs.

Both Chizza flavours feature a crispy juicy chicken fillet layered with pizza-inspired toppings like mozarella, cheddar cheese, chicken ham, mushroom and KFC's signature cheese sauce. The Chizza Tomato comes drizzled with a tomato basil sauce while the Chizza Alfredo features the white sauce for a creamy finish.

Available from June 19 to July 16, enjoy them ala carte at $7.95 or get the Individual Meal, Box and Buddy Meals from $9.95.

The KFC Chizza is available for dine-in and takeaway at all KFC outlets except KFC Sentosa and Singapore Zoo. You can also order it via GrabFood, FoodPanda, Deliveroo and KFC Delivery.
