Calbee Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Makoto Ehara) will launch 'Crispy Pizza Potato Cheese Cheese Cheese,' a derivative brand of 'Pizza Potato,' featuring wavy-cut chips and cheese cream applied in linear patterns. The product will be available for a limited time starting Monday, July 27, 2026, at convenience stores nationwide.
*Compared to Calbee's original 'Pizza Potato'
[Background]
'Pizza Potato,' first launched in 1992, is a long-selling snack that recreates the authentic taste of pizza by topping potato chips with cheese-flavored flakes and parsley. It has gained strong support as a unique and one-of-a-kind brand, with a large base of loyal, heavy users.
At the same time, to appeal to consumers who haven't tried 'Pizza Potato' in a while and to snack lovers who enjoy new products, Calbee spent approximately two and a half years developing 'Crispy Pizza Potato.' This new version doubles the amount of cheese to enhance the signature 'gooey cheese' and 'rich flavor' of the original, while the wavy cut delivers a new 'crispy-crunchy' texture. Retaining the highly praised flavor from its September 2025 launch, it will be re-released with a premium package design emphasizing generous cheese. This product is designed not only for fans of the original 'Pizza Potato' but also for those who love trying new snacks.
[Product Features]
- Made with thick, wavy-cut potato chips that offer a satisfying yet light texture, delivering a crispy-crunchy bite similar to a crispy pizza crust.
- Cheese cream is evenly applied in straight lines across the chips, ensuring a rich, cheesy flavor in every bite. The amount of cheese is double that of the original 'Pizza Potato.'
- The packaging features a tricolor stripe and black background to clearly identify it as a 'Pizza Potato' spin-off brand. Illustrations and icons emphasize the abundance of cheese, creating a premium and special-edition look.
