LOS ANGELES – Gino’s East of Chicago in Los Angeles is offering a Chicago pizza to honor Pope Leo XIV, who grew up in Chicago.
The announcement details that the Pope-roni pizza features three kinds of pepperoni (traditional, spicy, and “cup and char”) with Chicago sausage as an accent.
“Chicagoans are proud of our very own South Side Pope and we’re celebrating with a pizza that’s easy to pontificate about,” says Gino’s East-LA co-owner Tod Himmel.
The Pope-roni pizza is available as a deep-dish or thin crust Tavern Style pizza and features the world-famous Gino’s East crust, award-winning sauce, and fresh mozzarella cheese.
The Pope-roni will be available throughout the new pontiff’s time in office.
Gino’s East is located at 12924 Riverside Drive in Sherman Oaks, California and was named “Best Pizza in the Southland” by LA Times readers two years in a row.
