New Cairo's Fizza Just Put Mango on Pizza

In the ever-expanding universe of “things we never asked for but now can’t stop thinking about,” New Cairo’s Fizza has introduced mango pizza. Yes, mango. On pizza. Pineapple clearly wasn’t enough of a cultural flashpoint, so Fizza decided to escalate the fruit wars.

At first glance, it looks like a TikTok prank—one of those “tell me you live in New Cairo without telling me” trends. The crust is still the same, the cheese is still molten, but perched on top are glossy slices of mango, looking like they’ve snuck in from a fruit platter at a summer wedding. You take a bite, bracing for disaster, and instead get… confusion. Then curiosity. Then, somehow, another bite. It’s the sweet-savory mash-up that shouldn’t work but does, like dipping fries into your milkshake or watching a Nicolas Cage movie “ironically.”

Whether it’s genius or gastronomic chaos depends on who you ask. Your Italian friend will weep; your Gen Z cousin will probably order two just for the TikTok views. Either way, Fizza has successfully hacked the dinner table debate: it’s no longer pineapple versus no pineapple. It’s mango now. And New Cairo, apparently, is ready.
