Giordano’s, an iconic Chicago deep-dish pizza brand, has joined forced with fellow hometown favorite Buona Beef to celebrate National Italian Beef Day on May 24 with a new pie, aptly dubbed the Italian Beef Pizza.
The crossover is the first in the launch of Giordano’s Chi-Town Flavors series, spotlighting a string of local collaborations on its nationwide shipping platform. It’s part of Giordano’s commitment to elevating Chicago-based brands, the company said.
“As a brand born and bred in Chicago, we take pride in teaming up with fellow hometown icons like Buona Beef to celebrate the flavors that define our city,” said Giordano’s CEO Nick Scarpino. “Buona Beef is the perfect partner for our first Chi-Town Flavors collaboration. Chi-Town Flavors is our way of paying homage to the local legends who make this city so delicious, and we’re thrilled to share our hometown pride with fans across the country.”
The 10” Italian Beef Pizza, handcrafted individually by Giordano’s master pizzamakers at its downtown Chicago restaurant, is available exclusively online at ship.giordanos.com in packs of two, four and six.
Each pizza is made with the same Italian beef that Buona has served across Chicago for more than 40 years, topped with hot giardiniera, and packed with nearly a full pound of cheese for Giordano’s iconic cheese pull. Giordano’s legendary stuffed pizza is shipped frozen and ready to bake across all 50 states.
Founded in Chicago in 1974 and recently celebrating 50 years in business, Giordano’s has become synonymous with authentic stuffed deep-dish pizza made with Wisconsin mozzarella, handmade dough and layers of premium ingredients. Building on the legacy, the brand is doubling down on its hometown pride with collaborations like the Buona Italian Beef Pizza to connect even more deeply with the local flavors and partners that have made Chicago a culinary capital.
