Giordano's has launched tavern-style pizza, a thin, crispy, square-cut pizza inspired by one of Chicago's most beloved styles. The debut coincides with National Tavern-Style Pizza Day on Oct. 22, according to a press release.
"Chicago is a city that takes its pizza seriously, and we're fortunate to have two distinct styles: deep-dish and tavern-style," Nick Scarpino, CEO at Giordano's, said in the release. "Over the past 50 years, our deep-dish has become a symbol of Chicago around the world. Now, we're thrilled to add our incredible tavern-style pizza that will surely become just as famous. The crunch of our tavern-style pizza will become just as iconic as the cheese pull of our stuffed deep-dish pizza."
Giordano's has earned praise for its Chicago-style pizza.
"Our goal was to capture the essence of Chicago's tavern-style pizza while adding the craftsmanship and quality people expect from Giordano's," Jesse Harris, corporate executive chef, said in the release. "It's thin, crunchy, and loaded with flavor, exactly what a great tavern-style pizza should be."
Giordano's was founded in 1974 and operates nearly 60 locations across nine states.
