Hot Mozz Slider
A golden fried mozzarella plank served slider-style on a soft potato bun with kale slaw, pickles, and a drizzle of Dave's Sauce. A cheesy twist on the classic Dave's slider. New at Dave's.
About the Hot Mozz Slider
A cheesy reinvention of the slider everyone already loves. The Hot Mozz Slider swaps the chicken for a crispy, golden-fried mozzarella plank, stacked slider-style on a soft potato bun with cool kale slaw, tangy pickles, and a drizzle of Dave's Sauce.
Instead of a fried chicken tender, the Hot Mozz Slider centers on a thick plank of mozzarella coated in seasoned breading and fried until the outside is crisp and the inside turns molten and stretchy. It's built on the same soft, slightly sweet potato bun as the classic Dave's slider, then finished with kale slaw, dill pickles, and a creamy drizzle of Dave's Sauce β so it eats familiar but lands somewhere entirely new.
The magic is in the contrast. The cool, tangy kale slaw and the acid snap of the dill pickles cut straight through the rich, melty mozzarella, keeping every bite balanced instead of heavy. Eat it hot and fresh and you'll get the full cheese pull β that's the whole point of this slider, and it's best the moment it hits the bun.
What's Inside the Hot Mozz Slider
Fried Mozzarella Plank
The star of the slider β a thick plank of mozzarella coated and fried until the crust is golden and crisp while the inside melts into a stretchy, cheese-pull center.
Potato Bun
A soft, slightly sweet potato bun β the same pillowy base as the classic Dave's slider. Its gentle sweetness plays beautifully against the savory, salty cheese.
Kale Slaw
Tangy, cooling kale slaw adds crunch and a bright acidity that cuts through the richness of the melted mozzarella and keeps the slider feeling fresh.
Dill Pickles
Crisp dill pickles bring a sharp acid contrast that balances the rich, creamy cheese β a small detail that keeps every bite from feeling too heavy.
Dave's Sauce
A creamy drizzle of Dave's signature sauce ties it all together, adding tang and richness that complements the mozzarella without overpowering it.
Seasoned Breading
The mozzarella plank is wrapped in a seasoned flour breading that fries up crisp and golden, giving the slider its signature crunch on the first bite.

How to Customize
Marinara Dipping Sauce
The classic move. A side of warm marinara turns the fried mozzarella plank into a true mozz-stick experience β bright, tomatoey, and made for dunking.
Dave's Sauce
The signature creamy drizzle that comes on the slider. Order extra on the side to dip between bites β it adds tang and richness that hugs the cheese.
Optional Dave's Spice Dusting
Want a little kick? Ask for an optional dusting of Dave's spice on the mozzarella plank. Totally optional β the slider is great with or without it.
The Cheese Pull
Not a sauce β a strategy. Eat it hot and fresh, right away. The molten mozzarella stretches into that perfect cheese pull only while it's still hot.
Add Fries
Turn it into a full meal by getting the Hot Mozz Slider w/ Fries instead β same slider, plus a side of crinkle-cut fries for dipping in marinara.
Extra Pickles
Ask for extra dill pickles for more acidic snap. The extra tang cuts even harder through the melty mozzarella β great if you like a brighter, sharper bite.
Best Pairings
Crinkle-Cut Fries
Salty, crispy fries are the natural companion β dunk them in the same marinara you're using for the slider for a full mozz-stick spread.
Classic Combo
Marinara
A side of warm marinara is the must-order. Bright and tomatoey, it turns the fried mozzarella plank into a true dunk-and-pull experience.
Must Order
Slusher
An ice-cold, fruity Slusher is a refreshing counterpoint to the warm, rich cheese β light and bright between bites.
Refresher
Vanilla Shake
Cold, creamy, and indulgent β the vanilla shake leans into the comfort-food side of the slider for an all-out treat.

Is the Hot Mozz Slider vegetarian?
Yes β the Hot Mozz Slider is vegetarian. It uses a fried mozzarella plank in place of chicken. Note that it does contain dairy (mozzarella), wheat/gluten (potato bun and breading), and egg, and it is prepared on shared equipment with chicken and other allergens, so it is not vegan or allergen-free.
Is the Hot Mozz Slider spicy?
No, the Hot Mozz Slider is not a spicy item by default β it's built around rich, melty mozzarella rather than Nashville heat. If you want a little kick, you can ask for an optional dusting of Dave's spice on the mozzarella plank, but it's entirely optional.

The Hot Mozz Slider has approximately 520 calories as served, with around 28g of fat, 50g of carbs, and 18g of protein, plus about 30% of your daily calcium from the mozzarella. Adding marinara, extra Dave's Sauce, or fries will increase the totals.

They're the same slider β a fried mozzarella plank on a potato bun with kale slaw, pickles, and Dave's Sauce. The Hot Mozz Slider w/ Fries simply adds a side of crinkle-cut fries to make it a fuller meal. If you want fries to dip in marinara, order the w/ Fries version.
