BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse is giving dessert lovers something to celebrate this holiday season with the return of a fan favorite and the debut of a new viral-inspired creation. The restaurant chain announced the comeback of the Monkey Bread Pizookie® and the launch of a new Dubai Chocolate Pizookie®, both available for a limited time.
Heidi Rogers, Senior Vice President of Marketing at BJ’s Restaurants, said the decision to release both came after strong guest demand and growing online buzz. “Guests have been begging us to bring the Monkey Bread Pizookie® back ever since we removed it from the menu two years ago,” Rogers said.
“When we saw the virality of Dubai Chocolate on social media, we knew we had a tough decision to make—so for the first time in our history, we’re launching two seasonal Pizookies®,” she added.
A returning favorite and a viral newcomer
The Monkey Bread Pizookie®, back for the first time since 2023, features:
Soft, cinnamon pull-apart monkey bread baked until gooey
Two scoops of vanilla ice cream
A drizzle of caramel sauce
The Dubai Chocolate Pizookie® draws inspiration from a dessert that’s amassed over 20 billion views on TikTok. BJ’s version includes:
Ghirardelli® chocolate chunks
Vanilla bean ice cream topped with a crackable chocolate shell
Silky pistachio sauce and golden toasted kataifi
Seasonal drinks and gift card promotions
To complement the desserts, BJ’s is also rolling out new limited-time cocktails, including:
Dubai Chocolate Espresso Martini – Ketel One Vodka mixed with pistachio flavoring and nitro-infused espresso, served with chocolate fudge and kataifi rim.
Holiday Lights Lucky Ducky™ – A colorful mix of tequila, rum, vodka, and peach schnapps with pineapple juice, candies, and light-up cubes.
The chain’s annual holiday gift card promotion also returns through January 1, 2026, offering:
