“The thick-cut, fried mozzarella, dusted in Dave\u2019s signature spice levels from Not Hot to Reaper\u00ae, quickly became one of the most successful LTO launches in brand history, fueled by tens of millions of social views and overwhelming fan demand,” a spokesperson told Hudson Valley Post.<\/p>\n

After its initial launch, customers flooded stores and social media “chasing the ultimate cheese pull,” and the item sold out quickly across locations.<\/p>\n

Company officials expect the “frenzy” to return right away at locations nationwide.<\/p>\n

“Hot Mozz takes the socially shareable fried mozzarella cheese pull and turns up the heat the Dave\u2019s way: thick-cut, premium mozzarella that\u2019s breaded and fried to crispy perfection, then dusted with any of Dave\u2019s seven signature spice levels, from Not Hot to Reaper\u00ae. The result is a gooey-on-the-inside, crispy-on-the-outside, flavor-packed bite,” Dave’s Hot Chicken states.<\/p>\n
