Pretzel Crust is back: the 2025 return, priced and explained

What the pretzel treatment actually is

The crust is the product. A pretzel style dough, finished so it bakes up glossy and deep brown, scattered with coarse salt, and paired with a cheddar cheese sauce in place of, or alongside, the standard build, with cheese and pepperoni on top. The effect is a pizza that eats like a stadium pretzel met a pepperoni round: salty first, rich second, and built for dipping the crust, which is the bite most pizzas waste.

The stuffed version takes the same crust and bakes cheese inside it, and in that 2025 run it was priced at $9.99 to $16.89. Both versions are covered, with their own checked figures, in the Pretzel Crust category, because the two are different enough orders that lumping them into one price helps nobody.

Price and availability

In the 2025 return, the standard pretzel crust pizza ran $7.99-$10.79, the same range carried on its item page, which puts it above the Classics and below the Detroit line: premium, but not the menu’s premium ceiling. Availability is the detail worth printing for that run: Pretzel Crust and the new Stuffed Pretzel Crust were available online only at participating locations beginning March 31, 2025. From April 7 to June 22, 2025, Pretzel Crust was Hot-N-Ready from 4-8 p.m. and both were available in-store and online. Your store’s app listing was the way to check a participating location during that window.

Who it is for, and who should skip it

Order it if salt is a flavor in your house and the crust is your favorite part of any pizza; this is the one limited crust where the edge outperforms the middle. Skip it, honestly, if you are ordering for a low sodium reader or a table that finds the standard crusts rich enough, and choose the Pretzel Crust Pizza page’s listed alternatives instead. For the 2025 return, the window ran from the online-only start on March 31, 2025 through June 22, 2025, and the feed in New Menu Items is where the closing gets recorded.

Ordering notes for the 2025 run

Three practical notes from the 2025 run. First, this run had two builds: the standard Pretzel Crust and the new Stuffed Pretzel Crust. Both started online only on March 31, 2025, and both were available in-store and online from April 7, 2025. Second, the salt level is set by the crust finish, not the toppings, so a cheese-only build is not a low salt workaround; if salt is the concern, this is simply the wrong limited item, and the Thin Crust line is the honest alternative.

Third, leftovers behave unusually well. The pretzel crust pizza reheats in a hot oven back to something close to its first night state, because the dense, glossy crust resists the sogginess that ruins a standard round, and the cheese sauce, ordered as the dip, survives the fridge better than the pizza does. None of that will matter to most readers, because this pizza rarely survives the night, but on a two pizza order it makes the pretzel the one to deliberately overbuy.

One sentence for readers deciding between this and a stuffed crust order: the pretzel crust pizza is the one to choose when the table eats crust first anyway, because no other limited crust on this menu rewards that habit the way this one does.

Common questions about the Pretzel Crust return

Verdict

The return that never disappoints its audience: a genuinely different crust, a fair $7.99-$10.79 range, and a stuffed version that justifies its $9.99. That was the shape of the March to June 2025 return recorded here.
