Gino's East of Chicago in Los Angeles has debuted a pizza for National Pizza Month, according to a press release.

The Crackerjack comes in either deep dish or tavern-style thing crust. It's loaded with a blend of hot pepper jack and mozzarella cheese and is topped with spicy pepperoni, bacon and Calabrian chili oil.

The pizza is available throughout October and was developed by Gino's East co-owner Tod Himmel.

"I love making pizzas that combine unique and unexpected flavors," Himmel said in the release. "In this case I wanted to pair a little bit of heat and a little bit of sweet. Just as the spicy from the pepper jack, pepperoni and chili hit your taste buds, the sweet crunch of the 'crack' bacon brings you back."

The pizzeria opened in LA in Dec. 2019.
