About

Wetzel's Pretzels in Chula Vista occupies Chula Vista Center Mall on Broadway, operating inside one of Chula Vista's highest-traffic shopping destinations at 555 Broadway. Founded in 1994 in Redondo Beach and now spanning over 400 bakeries under parent company MTY Food Group, the Chula Vista outpost hand-rolls and bakes pretzels on-site throughout the day—a snack run that pairs with screenings at AMC Chula Vista 10 in the same Broadway retail zone. The menu extends beyond the salted Original to include Sinful Cinnamon sugar-coated twists, Pepperoni Twist pretzels, and Wetzel Dogs wrapping all-beef franks in pretzel dough. Bite-sized Bitz in Original, Cin-A-Bitz, and Cheesy Dog Bites versions serve as shareable snacks for groups heading to Lucky Strike Chula Vista for post-shopping bowling. Each pretzel is shaped from a fresh dough rope, boiled briefly in a lye-water bath to develop the alkaline surface that produces the signature mahogany crust and chewy interior crumb during the final oven bake.
