What I liked was the fact that the chicken is well-cooked, moist and juicy, with a good deal cheese on it, Presented by P wrote in 2016. Personally, I would have preferred if the chicken piece was crunchier the cheese on top of it makes the crust lose its crunch factor. However, the pepper and onion are both welcome additions, and give the faint illusion of eating healthy and also relieves the tongue from an onslaught of so much cheese and chicken.

Chizza it’s worth its price, someone else wrote on Instagram.�
