Perhaps Aldi is overdoing it this week, but that might just be the vibe. They chose Oktoberfest—with its strong German influence—as the moment to roll out a handful of extra tasty bites, including a fresh Chick-fil-A-inspired option. If a lot comes at once, so be it. We’ll gladly accept the abundance. Below is a look at the entertaining foods Aldi is bringing this week.
Mama Cozzi’s High Protein Cauliflower Crust Pizza (9/23; $8.29)
Protein is woven into nearly every corner of this new Aldi pizza. It begins with a cauliflower crust rich in protein, followed by a cheese layer that also carries protein, and then a hearty helping of sausage and jalapeño-kissed pepperoni. The only missing piece is a protein-packed pizza sauce! Here’s hoping for that enhancement next time, Aldi.
Kirkwood Red Bag Chicken: Sweet Heat Chicken Fillets (9/23; $8.99)
The moment has finally arrived. Aldi’s red-bag Chick-fil-A clone is expanding its lineup this week. These Sweet Heat chicken fillets are available at Aldi for $8.99 per bag. That price is roughly equivalent to a single CFA sandwich, making this a smart pick for any chicken aficionado!
Casa Mamita Stuffed Nachos: Queso or Chicken (9/23; $4.29)
What a convenient treat for casual gatherings. Aldi this week introduced two stuffed nacho varieties: queso and chicken. These breaded nacho chips are stuffed with their respective fillings and are just waiting to be air-fried to perfection.
Deutsche Kuche Savory Strudels (9/23; $4.49)
While I personally lean toward sweet pastries, I recognize the value of savory options. They serve an important purpose—to help keep hunger at bay. It’s not a foolproof plan, but it’s a welcome aid in avoiding an empty stomach. Aldi releases three savory strudels this week: spinach & ricotta, red pepper & cheddar, and mushroom & cheese.
Deutsche Kuche Pork, Chicken, or Beef Schnitzel (9/23; $9.99)
To keep the list concise, these three schnitzel varieties—pork, chicken, and beef—are grouped together. Flattening, breading, and frying meat is quite a workout, so choosing a ready-to-heat schnitzel from Aldi is far more convenient. Opt for the smart, Oktoberfest-ready choice for your celebrations!
