What’s slimy, wiggly and ready to hitch a ride on the nearest buffet plate? Fans will soon find out as Pizza Inn brings back the top-selling Sandworm Pizzert for spooky season.
With a gummy pull that is out of this world, the dessert is crafted for fans who love Halloween-themed fun and will only be available for a limited time before it goes dormant again until next year.
Pizza Inn’s popular Pizzert was first unleashed last year and became the highest-selling dessert item in Pizza Inn history. The creepy-crawly dessert pizza features a gooey green Bavarian Cream base topped with gummy worms and sugar sprinkles. It’s available now through the end of October.
The Sandworm Pizzert is a rather ingenious menu innovation, particularly for a legacy chain like Pizza Inn. The popularity of gummy candy has soared in recent years. According to a September 2025 report from Global Growth Insights, the gummy candies market, popular with kids and adults alike, was valued at $560.4 million in 2024 and is forecast to grow to $596.3 million in 2025 and to $979.5 by 2033.
“The Sandworm Pizzert is one of those desserts that fascinates everyone—especially kids—so much that they cheer when they see the sweet, green Pizzert on the buffet line,” said Brandon Solano, CEO of RAVE Restaurant Group. “They are obsessed with it. When you cut a slice to put on your plate, it stretches higher than any cheese pull I have ever seen.”
