Disney and award-winning Chef Roy Choi are teaming up this Thanksgiving to introduce a Friendsgiving pizza experience that puts a twist on traditional pies. As Chef Roy Choi is known for its popular restaurants Kogi BBQ and Best Friend, the collaborators are coming together for Mickey & Friends(giving.)
Disney, Chef Roy Choi and friends across the United States are sharing specialty pizzas inspired by the Sensational Six friends. These pizzas will only be available for one day, November 21th, and each one taps into the qualities of beloved characters like Mickey, Donald Duck and more. Roberta’s Pizza in Brooklyn created pizza, for example, that takes cues from "Daisy Duck’s sassy yet classy attitude" with special salsa verde and thinly sliced potatoes.
