Chicago-based Giordano's is commemorating the 40th anniversary of the city's 1985 football season with the launch of Da Pizza. The limited-edition pie is loaded with pork and beef, meatballs, pepperoni and giardiniera, according to a press release.

The pizza is available now through Feb. 9 and can be ordered in Giordano's Stuffed Deep Dish, Traditional Thin Crust or the new Tavern-Style. For dine-in guests, the deep-dish "'85 Style" features a special touch, the number 85 stenciled in parmesan cheese on top, paying homage to the historic year for the city's hometown heroes.

The brand has partnered with Chicago tight end Cole Kmet for a social collaboration.

"Chicago's love for football and pizza runs deep, and we wanted to create something that celebrates both," Nick Scarpino, CEO of Giordano's, said in the press release. "Da Pizza captures the heart of that championship spirit — it's indulgent, bold, and 100 percent Chicago."

The pizza was crafted by Giordano's culinary team.

"I've created this pizza with Chicago football fans in mind," Jesse Harris, executive chef of Giordano's, said in the press release. "It is the perfect match for your playoff catering needs."

Giordano's has 60 locations across nine states.
