Hot Mozz 3 Piece Meal
Three golden fried mozzarella planks served with a side of crispy fries — a complete cheesy meal. New at Dave's. Each plank is breaded and fried until the crust shatters and the mozzarella inside pulls into long, melty strands, paired with crinkle-cut fries and your choice of dipping sauce.
About the Hot Mozz 3 Piece Meal
The meal version of Dave's new fried mozzarella — three golden planks of breaded mozzarella plus a side of crinkle-cut fries and a dipping sauce, all in one order. It turns the snackable 3 Piece into a full lunch you don't have to build yourself.
The 3 Piece Meal takes the same three mozzarella planks from the à la carte 3 Piece and bundles them with fries to make a complete plate. Each plank is a thick rectangle of low-moisture mozzarella, coated in a seasoned breading and fried until the outside is deep golden and crisp while the cheese inside turns molten — the signature cheese pull that makes these worth eating the moment they land. Adding fries rounds it into a satisfying, sit-down-style meal rather than just an appetizer.
The meal is built for value: bundling the planks with fries costs less than ordering the 3 Piece and a side of fries separately, so it's the smart pick if you already know you want both. It's at its best with the included marinara — the bright, tangy tomato cuts the richness of the cheese — but Dave's Sauce works too if you want something creamier. Eat it hot and fresh for the longest, stretchiest cheese pull.
What's Included the Hot Mozz 3 Piece Meal
3 Mozzarella Planks
Three thick planks of low-moisture mozzarella, breaded and fried to a deep golden crust. The cheese inside melts into long, pully strands — eat them hot for the best cheese pull.
Crinkle-Cut Fries
A side of Dave's signature crinkle-cut fries — salty, crispy, and the perfect neutral contrast to the rich, melty mozzarella planks. Included with the meal.
Choice of Dipping Sauce
Comes with your choice of dipping sauce — marinara for the classic bright, tangy pairing, or Dave's Sauce for a creamier dip. Add more on the side if you want extra.

How to Customize
Marinara Dipping Sauce
The classic pairing. Bright, tangy tomato cuts through the richness of the melted mozzarella and balances every bite. Included with the meal — order extra on the side if you love it.
Dave's Sauce
Dave's signature creamy sauce as an alternative dip. Adds a cool, savory richness that plays off the crispy breading. Great if you want something other than tomato.
Optional Dave's Spice Dusting
Want a little of that Dave's flavor? Ask for an optional dusting of Dave's spice over the planks. It's a light seasoning kick — not a heat level — that nods to the classic Nashville rub.
The Cheese Pull
Eat them hot and fresh. The mozzarella pull is longest and stretchiest in the first few minutes out of the fryer. Pull a plank apart, dip, and enjoy before the cheese sets.
Swap Fries for Kale Slaw
Trade the crinkle fries for tangy kale slaw if you want a cooler, crunchier contrast that cuts through the rich melted cheese.
Upgrade to 5 Piece Meal
Hungrier? Step up to the 5 Piece Meal for two extra mozzarella planks alongside the same fries and sauce — better value per plank for big appetites.
Best Pairings
Marinara

Best PairingDave's Sauce
The signature creamy dip — cool and savory, great for the planks and the fries alike. Order it on the side.
Must Order
A Slusher
An icy, fruity slusher is a refreshing contrast to the warm, rich cheese — light, cold, and easy between bites.
Refreshing
Vanilla Shake
Cold, creamy, and sweet — the indulgent finish to a cheesy meal. Classic comfort pairing for fried mozzarella and fries.
Sweet FinishFrequently Asked Questions
How much does the Dave's Hot Mozz 3 Piece Meal cost?
The Hot Mozz 3 Piece Meal costs $9.99 at most Dave's Hot Chicken locations in 2026. Because it bundles three mozzarella planks with a side of fries and a dipping sauce, it costs less than ordering the à la carte 3 Piece plus fries separately. Prices are estimates and may vary by location.
What's included in the 3 Piece Meal?
The meal includes three golden fried mozzarella planks, a side of Dave's crinkle-cut fries, and your choice of dipping sauce (marinara or Dave's Sauce). It's a complete, ready-built plate rather than just the planks on their own.
Is the Hot Mozz 3 Piece Meal vegetarian?
Yes — the mozzarella planks are vegetarian, made from breaded and fried mozzarella cheese with no meat. Keep in mind it's prepared on shared equipment and the fries may share a fryer with other items, so it's not suitable for severe allergies. It is not vegan, since the cheese and breading contain dairy and may contain egg.
Is the Hot Mozz spicy?
No — the mozzarella planks are not spicy by default. They're about the crispy crust and the melty cheese pull, not Nashville heat. If you want a little of that Dave's flavor, you can ask for an optional dusting of Dave's spice over the planks, but it's a seasoning kick rather than a heat level.
How many calories are in the 3 Piece Meal?
The full 3 Piece Meal — three mozzarella planks plus a side of crinkle-cut fries — is approximately 800 calories. That breaks down to roughly 42g fat, 67g carbs, and 20g protein, and the cheese provides about 45% of your daily calcium. Dipping sauce on the side is not included in that total.
What's the difference between the 3 Piece and the 3 Piece Meal?
The 3 Piece is just the three mozzarella planks on their own — an à la carte snack or appetizer. The 3 Piece Meal adds a side of crinkle-cut fries (and a dipping sauce) to make it a complete lunch. The meal bundles them together for less than buying the planks and fries separately.
