TL;DR
Chicken is gaining popularity as a pizza topping, with Your Pie offering it as a healthy protein alternative. Your Pie's founder, Drew French, attributes the popularity of chicken to its ability to complement bolder flavors without overpowering them.
Chicken has been making its way onto menu boards across the nation as the bird rises in popularity as a pizza topper. Athens-based pizza concept, Your Pie offers chicken as a healthy protein alternative to often fattier meats like sausage and pepperoni. Founder Drew French attributes its popular edition to wife Natalie and co-creator of The Nat- the brand's second best seller.
"Chicken is a great protein option for pizzas when you're not looking for the meat to overpower the flavor profile," said French in an interview with PMQ Pizza Magazine. "Therefore, we usually offer chicken to complement bolder flavors, such as our basil pesto and buffalo sauces."
