Fazoli’s Spicy Baked Ziti with Chicken – Price & Calories (2026)
Fazoli’s Spicy Baked Ziti with Chicken is the hot-headed member of the ziti family: penne pasta in a spicy tomato pepper sauce, topped with chicken and baked under mozzarella and provolone until the cheese browns at the edges. It costs $11.49 and carries 930 calories on Fazoli’s menu page — though Fazoli’s own nutrition explorer lists it at 990 calories, and this guide uses both official figures so you know exactly what you are ordering. Like every Fazoli’s pasta entrée, it comes with 2 Signature Garlic Breadsticks.
Fazoli’s Spicy Baked Ziti with Chicken Calories and Nutrition
Fazoli’s nutrition explorer — the chain’s complete official nutrition dataset — lists the Spicy Baked Ziti with Chicken as follows:
| Nutrient | Amount |
| Calories | 990 Cal |
| Total Fat | 42 g |
| Carbohydrates | 103 g |
| Protein | 47 g |
| Sodium | 3,630 mg |
Two numbers deserve a straight read. The 47g of protein is the highest of any ziti on the Fazoli’s menu — more than the sausage version (41g) and the meat sauce version (43g) — which makes this the protein pick of the family. The 3,630mg of sodium is the trade-off: it is more than the FDA’s full 2,300mg daily limit in a single plate, before the two breadsticks that come with it. The full breakdown for every dish sits on our Fazoli’s nutrition facts page, and Fazoli’s publishes its own figures in its official nutrition information.
What Is in Fazoli’s Spicy Baked Ziti with Chicken?
The official menu description is short and exact: penne pasta topped with spicy tomato pepper sauce, chicken, and baked with mozzarella and provolone cheese. It sits in Fazoli’s Signature Bakes line — the oven-finished pastas — which means the cheese goes on before baking and comes out browned rather than just melted. The dish is built in three layers: the penne, the spicy tomato pepper sauce with chicken, and the two-cheese blanket on top.
Fazoli’s Spicy Baked Ziti with Chicken Price
The Spicy Baked Ziti with Chicken is $11.49, the same price as the Spicy Baked Ziti with Italian Sausage and $3.50 more than the regular Baked Ziti with Meat Sauce at $7.99. Prices can vary by location, and delivery apps typically list Fazoli’s entrées higher than the in-store menu, so the figure you see on a delivery app will not always match the board price. Some older menu sites still show $8.99 for this dish — that price is out of date.
Why You Will See Three Different Calorie Counts
Search this dish, and you will find 800, 930, and 990 calories on different sites. All three traces lead back to Fazoli’s — they are just from different dates and different official pages. The 800 figure comes from Fazoli’s older nutrition data (updated May 2025), which most menu sites copied and never refreshed. Fazoli’s current menu page lists the dish at 930 calories. Fazoli’s current nutrition explorer lists it at 990 calories with the full macro panel above. This guide leads with the explorer numbers because they are the newest complete official dataset, and shows the menu-page number so the difference is never a surprise at the counter.
Spicy Baked Ziti with Chicken vs. Sausage vs. Meat Sauce
Fazoli’s sells three baked zitis. Here they are side by side — menu-page calories are what you see on the board; explorer calories are Fazoli’s full nutrition dataset:
| Dish | Price | Menu-page Cal | Explorer Cal | Protein |
| Spicy Baked Ziti with Chicken | $11.49 | 930 | 990 | 47 g |
| Spicy Baked Ziti with Italian Sausage | $11.49 | 1,030 | 1,080 | 41 g |
| Baked Ziti with Meat Sauce | $7.99 | 610 | 830 | 43 g |
The chicken version is the clear pick of the two spicy zitis: same price as the sausage, 100 fewer menu-page calories, 6g more protein, and 16g less fat (42g against the sausage’s 58g in the explorer data). The meat sauce ziti stays the budget option — our full Baked Ziti with Meat Sauce breakdown covers it in detail — but it has no heat and less protein per plate.
Allergens and Heat Level
The listed allergens for the Spicy Baked Ziti with Chicken are wheat, milk, and egg — the penne, the cheese blend, and the pasta itself — so it is not a gluten-free dish. On heat: the spice lives in the tomato pepper sauce. It is a warm, peppery kick rather than an extreme burn, noticeably hotter than anything on the regular Baked Ziti, but built to be eaten by the plateful, not survived.
Frequently Asked Questions
Final Thoughts
The Spicy Baked Ziti with Chicken earns its place at the top of the ziti family: the most protein of the three, a genuine kick from the tomato pepper sauce, and the same price as the heavier sausage version. Order it knowing the sodium is high, and the calorie count depends on which official Fazoli’s page you read — 930 on the menu, 990 in the explorer.
