Old Chicago LTOs feature build-your-own option

September 27, 2010

Old Chicago is celebrating October as National Pizza Month and its nearly 35 years of making pizzas from scratch with two new, limited-time-only pizzas: the Ultimate Deep Dish Pizza and the Artisan Pizza. Part of the 2010 Pizza FEASTival taking place now at participating Old Chicago restaurants, these specialty pizzas will be available through October 31.

The Ultimate Deep Dish Pizza and Artisan Pizza are two new Old Chicago recipes featuring homemade dough that is hand-shaped in each restaurant. These limited-time-only pizzas created in celebration of National Pizza Month include:

• The Ultimate Deep Dish Pizza: Made from scratch with two full vertical inches of Chicago-style crust layered with mozzarella cheese, premium toppings and chunky Italian tomato sauce, sprinkled with Old Chicago’s special cheese blend and fresh basil. Guests can build their own Ultimate Deep Dish Pizza by combining up to three quality toppings of their choice, or choose from Old Chicago’s signature, best-selling Ultimate “Chicago Seven,” Ultimate Spinach and Artichoke, or Ultimate Sausage and Roasted Fennel. Starting prices range between $19.99 and $20.99.
• Artisan Pizza: A tribute to the handcrafted pizzas of Italy, Old Chicago’s artisan dough is made from scratch, hand-stretched and brushed with olive oil for a light, crispy crust. The pizza is then finished with quality toppings, including a blend of mozzarella, Parmesan and Swiss cheeses, for a delicate balance of flavors. The Artisan pizzas are individually sized and guests can build their own, selecting three of their favorite toppings from a list of about 40, or choose from Old Chicago’s showcase of specially crafted recipes – Artisan Sausage and Roasted Garlic, Artisan Three Cheese and Pepperoni, or Artisan Italian Vegetarian. Prices start at $7.99.
