A chicken-parm hero, rebuilt as a brick-oven pie.
Chicken Parmigiana Pizza
Chicken parm is a north-Jersey religion, and this is the pizza version. A breaded halal cutlet, our house marinara, and mozzarella — the same trinity as the hero, baked onto a brick-oven crust instead of stuffed in a roll. It's the pie our regulars order when they can't decide between pizza and a chicken-parm dinner.
What goes on it
- • Halal chicken cutlet, hand-breaded and fried in our halal-only fryer
- • House marinara — San-Marzano-style crushed tomato, garlic, oregano
- • Low-moisture whole-milk mozzarella
- • A finish of grated Parmesan-style cheese after the bake
- • 24-hour cold-fermented dough
How it's made
The cutlet is breaded and fried fresh, then sliced and laid over a fully sauced and cheesed pie. Into the brick oven at 550°F for 7–9 minutes. A dusting of grated cheese and a little extra marinara go on at the cut station so every slice tastes like the sandwich.
Pairings
A Garden or Caesar Salad and garlic-knots round it into a full dinner. A 2-liter soda for the table.
Ordering tips
Order it well-done for a crispier cutlet. Small 12" is a solid one-person dinner; large 16" feeds a family. Add a side of marinara for dipping the crust.

FAQ
Common questions
- How is this different from just getting a chicken parm hero?
- A hero is one person's dinner in a roll; this is the same cutlet, marinara and mozzarella spread over a brick-oven crust so a table can split it. The cutlet is fried fresh and sliced across the pie rather than stacked in one spot, so you get breading and cheese in every slice, and the crust is something you can dip in a side of marinara.
- My kid won't touch the Buffalo Chicken - is this one spicy?
- No heat in it at all. The sauce is our house marinara - crushed tomato, garlic, oregano - under the mozzarella, with grated Parmesan-style cheese dusted on after the bake. It isn't the Buffalo Chicken pie with a different sauce, either: that one is cubed white-meat chicken tossed in wing sauce with a ranch drizzle, and this is a breaded cutlet, fried and sliced. No wing sauce, no ranch.
- Why is there sauce on top of the cutlet too?
- The pie is sauced and cheesed underneath the cutlet, and then the cut station adds a dusting of grated Parmesan-style cheese and a little more marinara over the top after the bake. That top layer is what makes a slice taste like the sandwich instead of a chicken pizza. It's in the brick oven seven to nine minutes at 550 degrees, so the finish goes on last, off the heat.
- Is the chicken parmigiana pizza halal?
- Yes — every meat on this pizza, like every meat on our menu, comes from a halal-certified supplier, and the kitchen, fryer and slicer are halal-only. Nothing non-halal is prepared or stored on the premises.
- Can I order it for pickup or delivery?
- Both. Pickup is free and usually ready in about 15 minutes. In-house delivery is our own drivers — no third-party app markup — across Clifton, Paterson, Passaic, Garfield, Nutley, Lyndhurst, Bloomfield and Belleville.
