Two of Chicago\u2019s culinary heavyweights, Lou Malnati\u2019s <\/a>and Portillo\u2019s<\/a>, are back at it with a new collab that screams Chicago pride. As of this week, you can order the limited-edition Chicago Dog Deep Dish Pizza at 21 full-service Lou Malnati\u2019s locations nationwide. But act fast: it\u2019s only available while supplies last.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t the first time these local legends have teamed up\u2014in 2022, they created an Italian beef deep dish that was shipped frozen. But this time, they\u2019re taking it straight to the dining room with a mashup that\u2019s both bold and bizarre: a deep-dish pizza<\/a> packed with all the classic Chicago hot dog<\/a> fixings.<\/p>\n

This crosstown collaboration starts with a poppy seed\u2013flecked deep-dish crust (giving hot dog bun vibes) layered with mozzarella, canned plum tomatoes and diced tomatoes (no ketchup of course). It\u2019s then topped with sliced Portillo\u2019s hot dogs, sport peppers, pickles, onions and celery salt. When it comes out of the oven, it gets the final flourish: green relish and a drizzle of bright yellow mustard. It\u2019s a Chicago-style dog, but baked into a buttery, tomatoey deep dish. It\u2019s only offered in a small size, but it’s all you need for a Chicago-style feast.<\/p>\n

“At Portillo\u2019s, Chicago-style hot dogs are more than just a menu item\u2014they\u2019re a part of our DNA,” said Vallory McCormack, Director of Marketing for Portillo\u2019s. “We\u2019re making sure everyone can join in on the celebration of the iconic hot dog that helped make Portillo\u2019s a household name.”<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re a deep-dish diehard, a Chicago dog purist or just in it for the novelty, this is the mashup you didn\u2019t know you needed. Available for a limited time, it\u2019s your chance to taste two of Chicago\u2019s greatest hits in one cheesy, mustard-topped bite.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Two of Chicago\u2019s culinary heavyweights, Lou Malnati\u2019s and Portillo\u2019s, are back at it with a new collab that…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":74461,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5124],"tags":[10633,960,5386,1818,10634,988],"class_list":{"0":"post-74460","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-chicago","8":"tag-categories-restaurants","9":"tag-chicago","10":"tag-il","11":"tag-illinois","12":"tag-news-eating","13":"tag-restaurants"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114877995604533577","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74460","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=74460"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74460\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/74461"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=74460"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=74460"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=74460"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
