The BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse Broccoli Cheddar Pizookie is the brand's latest addition to its menu that's crafted with its signature dessert format in mind, but is achieved with a decidedly savory flavor. The dish starts off with a cheddar and broccoli base that's topped with two scoops of mashed potatoes along with melted cheddar cheese and steamed broccoli. The dish is a limited time offering that's positioned as a more fun and delicious way to enjoy the flavor of veggies.
SVP of Marketing Heidi Rogers commented on the BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse Broccoli Cheddar Pizookie saying, "We're always pushing the boundaries of flavor, and this time, we've struck gold with an unexpected yet utterly delightful combination. We asked ourselves, 'What's the most unexpected, yet undeniably comforting flavor profile we could possibly create?' And the answer, naturally, was broccoli and cheddar."
