Cheez-It is moving out of the snack aisle and into the mall food court. The brand teamed up with Chain to create Cheez-It Court, a month-long pop-up at Westfield Topanga in Los Angeles filled with Y2K mall nostalgia and cracker-covered food.
The custom food-court stall runs September 2 through September 30.
What is on the Cheez-It Court menu?
The announced menu turns familiar food-court favorites into Cheez-It creations:
- Cheez-Y-Bun: a cinnamon roll topped with Cheez-It Extra Cheesy-seasoned cream cheese frosting, shortbread crumble, salted caramel crunch and a Cheez-It cracker
- Crunchy Cheez-Dog: a premium Wagyu hot dog in a panko and Cheez-It cracker crust, finished with mustard, ketchup, a pickle, Extra Cheesy crackers and seasoning
- Cheez-Steak: sliced ribeye, American cheese, grilled onions and pickled jalapeños on an Extra Cheesy-seasoned hoagie roll with dill-pickle aioli and a Hot & Spicy cracker-and-chive crumble
The Cheez-Y-Bun is easily the surprise of the menu. A cheesy cinnamon roll sounds questionable until the salted caramel and shortbread enter the picture, at which point it starts to feel like the kind of sweet-salty snack that could actually work.
Where is Cheez-It Court?
Cheez-It Court is located at Westfield Topanga, 6600 Topanga Canyon Boulevard in Canoga Park, California. It is open only from September 2 through September 30, making this a temporary experience rather than a new permanent restaurant.
The announced hours are 3-8 p.m. Monday and Tuesday, noon-8 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday, and noon-9 p.m. Friday through Sunday. The schedule can change, so confirm current mall and pop-up hours before making a special trip.
The pop-up’s styling leans into the era when wandering the mall and splitting food-court snacks counted as an entire afternoon plan. That nostalgia is part of the point: the collaboration pairs an exaggerated menu with the look and energy of a turn-of-the-century mall hangout.
According to the official announcement from Cheez-It and Chain, the experience is built specifically for this limited run. Check Westfield Topanga’s current hours and the brands’ social accounts before visiting, particularly if you are going for one menu item.
