Whether it’s served as an appetizer or just something to snack on, few things compare to the cheesy, gooey goodness of a mozzarella stick. And now, in a pleasantly unexpected twist, we’re getting mozzarella sticks from a beloved pretzel chain.
Wetzel’s Pretzels — best known for its freshly baked, twisted creations — is jumping into the mozzarella stick game with a new offering: Mozzarella Stickz. Available now through Aug. 31, these sticks add a cheesy new twist to the chain’s summer menu.
What makes these different? The Mozzarella Stickz feature hand-rolled pretzel dough, stuffed with mozzarella cheese, and topped with Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs. It’s a unique take on a classic snack that’s long been a fan favorite.
Each order comes in a five-piece snack cup, perfect for pairing with one of Wetzel’s dipping sauces. You can choose from Pizza Sauce — similar to a traditional marinara — or Creamy Ranch, another go-to for mozzarella sticks everywhere.
To celebrate the launch, Wetzel’s is offering a special deal for Rewards App users. From now until May 18, customers can get $1 off their order by using the code MOZZARELLA either in-store or online.
As a self-proclaimed mozzarella stick connoisseur — with a snacking résumé spanning from TGI Fridays to the beloved Mozzarella Moons at 99 Restaurant on the East Coast — I’m hyped. I'm expecting some serious cheese pulls and bold flavor — the kind that turns a mall stroll into a mission to locate the Wetzel's.
But fair warning, as mentioned above: these Mozzarella Stickz are a limited-time item. Like summer itself, they will be gone before you know it. So, if you desire a savory-sweet combo, might I suggest a refreshing lemonade to go with it?
Because honestly, mozzarella sticks and lemonade sound like the best way to spend summer in my book.
