A Google search of Cicis Pizza‘s Chocolate Dessert turns up nostalgic comments.
“No one in my life remembers these,” one Facebook user wrote in 2020. “I swear, they think I’m crazy, but I remember them and I think about them all the time.”
For a limited time, Cicis is bringing back the dessert item in honor of its 40th birthday, the all-you-can-eat-buffet brand said. The Original Chocolate Dessert will be available from June 23 through August 17 at Cicis buffets nationwide (and online) for $7.99.

This nostalgic menu-item is an “ooey, gooey, chocolaty classic made with fresh baked deep-dish dough, cocoa sugar, creamy chocolate, and a dusting of powdered sugar, sliced into thick, rectangular strips,” the brand said. The dessert item earned a cult-favorite status and became one of the most beloved offerings in Cicis history—with fans flooding social media and attempting to recreate the recipe in their own kitchens.
“There’s something magical about flavors that instantly take you back to childhood—and for so many of our guests, The Original Chocolate Dessert is exactly that,” said Jeff Hetsel, President of Cicis Pizza. “This dessert has lived on through online forums, home-baked recreations and social media buzz for years. We’re thrilled to finally bring it back to the buffet where it belongs as a thank you to the fans who have long hoped for its return.”
