CHEEZ-IT has confirmed that a fan-favorite flavor has been discontinued as loyal fans push for its return.

The cheese pizza Cheez-It flavor was first introduced in 2017 as a tailgate promotion alongside popular game-day foods including a cheeseburger and cheddar nachos flavor.

Fans could vote between the three flavors for which one would be able to stay, and the cheese pizza flavor won, Mashed reported.

The company has now announced that the flavor is discontinued.

One fan replied to a random tweet the snack brand put out asking about what happened to the flavor.
