Hot Mozz Hot Box
Twenty golden fried mozzarella planks packed into one box โ the ultimate cheese-pull spread for parties, office lunches, and game days. New at Dave's.
About the Hot Mozz Hot Box
The Hot Mozz Hot Box is the feed-a-crowd option in Dave's mozzarella lineup โ twenty golden fried mozzarella planks loaded into a single box. As an appetizer or shareable starter it comfortably serves around six to eight people, which makes it the go-to choice for parties, office lunches, and game days.
Each plank is a thick slab of mozzarella breaded and fried to a crisp golden shell, with a soft, stretchy molten center. At twenty planks for $55.00, the Hot Box delivers the best value per plank of any Hot Mozz item on the menu โ the more you order, the less each cheesy bite costs. It's the smart pick whenever you're feeding more than two or three people.
Because the cheese pull is at its best when the planks are hot and fresh, order ahead for groups so the box arrives or is picked up close to serving time. Serve it as a shared centerpiece with multiple sides of Marinara and Dave's Sauce spread across the table so everyone can dip without crowding a single cup โ and so the planks disappear before they cool.

How to Customize
Marinara Dipping Sauce
The traditional pairing for fried mozzarella. Bright, tangy tomato sauce that cuts the richness of the cheese and balances every golden bite.
Dave's Sauce
Dave's creamy signature dipping sauce. Cool and rich, it leans into the indulgence and gives the molten mozzarella an extra layer of flavor.
Optional Dave's Spice Dusting
Want a hint of Dave's flavor? Ask for an optional light dusting of Dave's spice over the planks. It adds a touch of seasoning without turning this into a heat challenge.
The Cheese Pull
Eat them hot and fresh. The molten center is at its stretchiest right out of the fryer, so serve immediately and pull each plank apart for the full cheese-pull moment.
Pair with a Saucy Bites Flight
Round out the spread by adding a Saucy Bites flight alongside the box. Cheese planks plus saucy bites makes a complete shareable party platter.
Order Ahead for Groups
Place the order in advance and time pickup or delivery close to serving. The cheese pull is best hot and fresh, so plan around when the crowd will eat.
