Chick Fil A Pizza is the glorious combination of two of the world’s great comfort foods: pizza and fried chicken. Made with delicious fried chicken, waffle fries, and Chick-Fil-A sauce, this special pizza is for all you fried chicken lovers out there. You may think you don’t need a new recipe for pizza, but I promise you this one is well worth it!
Naturally, I recommend using Chick Fil A nuggets, waffle fries, and sauce, but if you don’t have one near you (or if it’s Sunday!) I’ve given some suggestions for substitutions below that don’t require finding parking spaces or fighting traffic at drive-thru restaurants! This easy fast food style dinner will please your whole family.
If you want the full fried chicken pizza experience, pour yourself a tall, icy glass of sweet tea (or unsweet if you’re like me!). Or maybe pour yourself a frosty Watermelon margarita because NOTHING goes better with fried chicken and pizza than watermelon!
Chicken & Pizza
Chicken & Pizza are a natural pairing whether you’re talking about a fried chicken pizza like this one, a Buffalo chicken flatbread, or a chicken taco pizza. They’re -as the old commercial used to say- two great tastes that taste great together.
Let’s go over the list of what you need to make this powerhouse of a comfort food! It’s not complicated, thankfully.
Ingredients
- Pre-Baked Pizza Crust
- Fully Cooked Chicken Nuggets
- Full Cooked Waffle French Fries
- Chick Fil A Sauce or Burger Sauce
- Pizza Sauce or Marinara Sauce
- Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- Shredded Monterey Jack Cheese
- Green Onions
You can purchase a pre-baked pizza crust, or make one of your own from pizza dough using the instructions in this Big Mac Pizza recipe. And while Chick Fil A chicken is undeniably delicious, if you don’t have it nearby, you can substitute 12 of your favourite fully cooked chicken nuggets for it.
Likewise, Chick Fil A waffle fries rock, but you can sub in any other good, fully cooked waffle fries or even crinkle cut or steak fries. Just make sure they’re completely cooked before adding to the pizza.
And ya’ll. Chick Fil A sauce is GOOD. And 100% of the proceeds from sauce sales go to fund scholarships for people who work at Chick Fil A.
But again, if you don’t have it and don’t want to order it, homemade Burger sauce makes an admirable pinch-hitter.
Chicken Nugget Pizza
Now that we’ve got our ingredients sorted, let’s talk about equipment you need to make this recipe. I believe you should have all of the necessary bits and bobs to make this on hand already.
Because you’re starting with a fully cooked pizza crust, you can bake the pizza directly on the rack in your oven. This will give you a crispier bottom crust. If you make sheet pan chick-fil a pizza, you’ll find your crust is softer and chewier.

Chick Fil A Pizza
Preheat the oven to 475ºF.
Cut nuggets and waffle fries into approximately equal sized pieces. Set them aside.
Spread ¼ cup of the Chick Fil A sauce and the pizza sauce over the pizza crust. Swirl them together as you spread the sauce.
Scatter mozzarella cheese, chicken nuggets, and waffle fries over the sauce. Top with the shredded Monterey jack cheese.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes on a sheet pan or directly on the oven rack, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown in patches and the chicken and fries are hot all the way through. Cooking it on the oven rack will yield a crispier crust while cooking on a sheet pan will give you a slightly softer and chewier crust.
Remove the pizza from the oven and drizzle with the remaining Chick Fil A sauce. Garnish with the green onions and serve.
