While pizza itself originated in Italy, the 'Frango com Catupiry' version is a uniquely Brazilian creation. Italian immigrants introduced pizza to Brazil in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Over time, Brazilians adapted pizza to their own tastes and available ingredients, resulting in innovative and popular flavors like Frango com Catupiry.

Pizza Frango com Catupiry offers a creamy, savory, and comforting flavor profile.
The dish features the savory taste of shredded chicken (frango), often seasoned with herbs and spices, combined with the rich, smooth, and slightly tangy flavor of Catupiry cheese. The crust provides a neutral base, allowing the chicken and cheese to shine. Some variations include tomato sauce, onions, olives, or other toppings to enhance the flavor complexity.
Catupiry Quality
Use authentic Catupiry cheese for the most authentic flavor and texture. Lower quality substitutes may not melt properly or have the same creamy taste.
Chicken Preparation
Season the shredded chicken well with herbs, spices, and a touch of garlic or onion powder to enhance its flavor. Ensure the chicken is cooked through and not dry.
Crust Consistency
A well-made pizza crust is crucial. Whether homemade or store-bought, ensure the crust is sturdy enough to support the toppings but remains light and airy. Par-baking the crust before adding toppings can prevent a soggy bottom.
