Introduction to Giordano’s New Pizza
CHICAGO — Locals know that tavern-style, not deep-dish, is the true Chicago pizza. Now, the word has finally reached Chicago-based pizza chain Giordano’s.
The Launch of Tavern-Style Pizza
The company known for its deep-dish has developed a twist on the classic cracker-thin crust, and it’s launching Wednesday to coincide with National Tavern-Style Pizza Day, according to a news release.
Unique Features of the Tavern-Style Pizza
“The new tavern-style pizza features an extremely thin crust created using a technique inspired by croissant-making,” according to Giordano’s. “Giordano’s proprietary Wisconsin mozzarella cheese is folded into the dough, producing a light, flaky texture and a satisfyingly crunchy bite in every square.” The pizza has a “crunch so loud you can taste it,” according to Giordano’s website.
Comparison to Deep-Dish and Thin-Crust Pizzas
While deep-dish is what the brand is known for, and it already offers a thin-crust pizza, Giordano’s hopes that customers will come to love the new style as much as the classic.
Chef’s Statement on the New Pizza
“It’s thin, crunchy and loaded with flavor, exactly what a great tavern-style pizza should be,” Jesse Harris, corporate executive chef at Giordano’s, said in a statement.
Availability of the Tavern-Style Pizza
The tavern-style pizza is available in a variety of classic and specialty combinations for dine-in, carryout or delivery at Giordano’s locations across the city.
History of Giordano’s
The original Giordano’s opened in 1974 on the South Side. The chain now has over 60 locations in nine states.
