Aldi fans mourn discontinued fan-favorite item as grocer offers hope it's returning very soon

CUSTOMERS were crushed when they could not find their favorite buffalo chicken items at Aldi - but the store is promising a comeback.

Aldi recently responded to a fan on Twitter wondering where the Mama Cozi Buffalo Chicken Pizza went.

"Well, @AldiUSA what happened to the buffalo chicken pizza? It was a local favorite and then it vanished. Help!" the fan pleaded.

Luckily, Aldi was quick to provide reassurance.

"Our Mama Cozzi's Buffalo Chicken or Cheeseburger pizzas will be returning to freezer sections near you this September!," the company responded.

The fan was very happy with the response.
