Lou Malnati's Introduces Italian Combo Beef-Za

Lou Malnati's Pizzeria, a staple of Chicago’s culinary scene, has launched an exciting new dish: the Italian Combo Beef-Za. This innovative pizza combines the beloved Italian Combo sandwich with Lou Malnati's legendary deep-dish pizza, designed specifically to celebrate Italian Beef Month.

The Concept Behind the Beef-Za

Crafted in collaboration with Chef Jeff Mauro, known for his role as the 'Sandwich King' on Food Network, the Italian Combo Beef-Za is a delightful celebration of flavors. Chef Mauro, who has long been a fan of Lou Malnati's deep-dish pizza, was inspired to create this hybrid dish that honors both the classic Italian beef sandwich and the city's iconic pizza style.

What's Inside the Italian Combo Beef-Za?

The Italian Combo Beef-Za features layers of high-quality ingredients that reflect Chicago's rich food culture. At its base, you’ll find Lou Malnati’s famous Buttercrust™, which is known for its flaky texture and golden-brown finish. On top of this mouthwatering crust, the pizza is loaded with:

• - Italian Beef made from Certified Angus Beef®, ensuring top-notch quality and flavor.
• - Sausage, prepared with Lou Malnati's own blend of spices.
• - Giardiniera, with Mauro's Medium Craft Giardiniera blended into Honey G® Pepper Relish, offering a sweet heat that elevates the overall taste.
• - Freshly selected vine-ripened tomatoes and Wisconsin mozzarella for that signature pizza touch.

This special creation can be ordered in various styles, including deep-dish, thin crust, and even a small gluten-free deep-dish, catering to diverse dietary needs and preferences. It’s available for dine-in, delivery, and carryout until May 31st, so pizza lovers should act fast!

A Love Story Between Two Chicago Giants

Marc Malnati, owner of Lou Malnati's, shared his excitement about the new dish: “We wanted to find a way to combine Italian beef and deep-dish pizza, which both hold a significant place in Chicago’s food culture. Partnering with Chef Mauro was pivotal in creating this dish that respects the essence of both.” Mauro echoed this sentiment, stating that the Italian Combo Beef-Za captures the heart of what makes the sandwich special, poured onto the city’s best deep-dish pizza.
