Following the debut of its pizza-flavored wings in Hong Kong, KFC announced yet another chicken combination: the Chizza.

What is the Chizza, you ask? Well, the name pretty much says it all: It's a hunk of fried chicken covered in pizza toppings.

Have you ever thought of having chicken as a crust to your favorite pizza? We did. So here's the new #KFChizza! pic.twitter.com/nXZm9Skt15— KFC Philippines (@KFCPhilippines) July 4, 2015

Because putting two good things together makes for one great thing, right?

The unusual, new menu item is currently only available in the Philippines, but people from all over are weighing in on the Chizza.

Some say it's a sure sign of the apocalypse:

Others say everyone should just calm down, because it's basically chicken parmigiana:

If you can justify indulging in the occasional chicken parmigiana, then there is no reason why you wouldn't try @kfc's #Chizza. #JustSaying— Brian Metzer (@Brian_Metzer) July 9, 2015

And a few are just concerned with its name:

i am not saying chizza is the worst brand name i have ever seen but it is top 3 definitely https://t.co/iuiYmCIBdw— darth!™ (@darth) July 9, 2015

Because any fan of A Goofy Movie knows where the term "Chizza" really comes from:

Regardless, one thing's certain: KFC is a little late to this pizza party. Domino's has been doing the pizza-chicken dance since last summer.
