Pizzagiana (pizza + parmigiana)

Quality Italian Steakhouse opened in 2013 at Sith Avenue and West 57th Street in Manhattan. One specialty of the menu was “Chicken Parmigiana (For Two),” but the dish looked like a giant pizza. The New York (NY) Post‘s Steve Cuozzo wrote on August 7, 2013:
 
“What might be called ‘chicken pizzagiana,’ a round, 13-inch-diameter replica of a Ray’s pie at new Quality Italian, is the summer’s runaway whimsical hit — good, clean fun in a season of neo-molecular, quasi-Korean and counterfeit Latin departures.”

It’s a 14in chicken parm that’s delivered to the table atop a pizza rack. It’s blessed with seasoned breadcrumbs, mozz, Parm, and Pecorino, it gets sliced with a pizza cutter at your table, and comes with spices like dried black olives you can shake on top. It’s meant to be for two but, when developing it, they never saw anyone finish it.

You’ve tried the rest, now try the best — not pizza, which touts its alleged superiority on every box, but chicken parmigiana that only looks like pizza.
 
What might be called “chicken pizzagiana,” a round, 13-inch-diameter replica of a Ray’s pie at new Quality Italian, is the summer’s runaway whimsical hit — good, clean fun in a season of neo-molecular, quasi-Korean and counterfeit Latin departures.

Breast meat is ground with house-dried spices, spread out on a round pan and caked in fresh, spiced breadcrumbs. It’s fried, topped with fresh-made San Marzano tomato sauce and Pecorino, Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses and basil before a turn in the oven.

It’s served with Ray’s-style jars of sprinkle-on black olives, garlic powder, peperoncino — and a bowl of honey from Union Square Greenmarket’s Andrew’s Honey. Sourced from Central Park hives, it’s cut with dried Calabrian chili.

What’s With This Hybrid Food Craze That Has Taken Over New York City?
Cronut. Ramen burger. Pizzagiana. Will it stop?

A pizza-shaped version of chicken parmigiana is the main subject of an article about the city’s Quality Italian restaurant in this week’s New York Post. Critic Steve Cuozzo is so gaga over the two-fer that he anoints it “the summer’s runaway whimsical hit” and claims that it “blows away” the highly acclaimed veal parmesan at hotspot Carbone.
