Fans got it back! But this iconic pizza menu item might be here only for a limited time
- Replies 0
Sometimes, a simple menu item can mean more than just a meal—it can carry unexpected weight.
One major brand recently found that out after quietly removing a longtime favorite from its lineup.
What followed was a reminder of just how much certain choices can resonate with loyal customers.
Casey’s, the popular convenience store chain with over 2,700 locations, has officially apologized for removing its BBQ Brisket Pizza from menus.
In a statement shared with customers, the brand said: “First of all, we owe you a huge apology. We’re sorry for removing the BBQ Brisket Pizza from our menu. We know it wasn’t just food—it was an identity, a deeply personal connection between you, melted cheese and slow-smoked perfection.”
The outpouring of support came through DMs, videos, and social media comments, prompting Casey’s to bring the item back for a limited-time return.
"Thanks to your DMs, TikToks, and general unhinged BBQ devotion,” the chain added. “We’re officially bringing it back.”
It’s not yet clear why the item was removed in the first place—or why it’s only returning temporarily.
But one thing is certain: fans are thrilled, and many are already hoping the pizza stays longer this time.
Online reactions were passionate, with some calling it one of the best pizzas they’d ever had.
One user wrote, “One of the best pizzas I’ve ever eaten was the barbecued beef.”
Another shared frustration over quality changes before the item disappeared: “Last time I got a pizza from there it had hardly anything on top... I called in to complain and was told there's nothing they can do.”
Casey’s even acknowledged the backlash themselves, referring to their removal of the item as doing a “bad thing.”
The BBQ Brisket Pizza had developed a strong cult following, praised for its melted cheese and slow-smoked flavor, making it more than just another menu option.
Whether it returns permanently may depend on demand—and how long this new wave of support continues.
Casey’s isn’t the only major food name making headlines this week.
Krispy Kreme is offering customers a free donut on May 7 as part of a limited-time promotion.
Shake Shack has rolled out a month-long burger giveaway, with rotating free items available each week.
Meanwhile, Costco shoppers are raving about a new cheesecake that's flying off shelves, with many calling it the retailer’s sweetest hit yet.
