Gino's East of Chicago in Los Angeles Unveils New Pizza- "The Crackerjack"

Limited Edition pizza for National Pizza Month-October 2024

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Gino's East of Chicago in Los Angeles showcases a pizza especially for National Pizza Month. The "Crackerjack" is a deep dish, or tavern style thin crust pizza, loaded with a blend of hot pepper jack and creamy mozzarella cheese, topped with spicy pepperoni, a sprinkling of candied (aka "crack") bacon, and a mist of Calabrian chili oil.

The pizza was developed by Gino's East co-owner Tod Himmel. "I love making pizzas that combine unique and unexpected flavors. In this case I wanted to pair a little bit of heat and a little bit of sweet. Just as the spicy from the pepper jack, pepperoni and chili hit your taste buds, the sweet crunch of the 'crack' bacon brings you back."

The "Crackerjack" is available throughout October. Gino's East celebrates National Pizza Month yearly with a special pizza as well as a month-long series of great specials. The complete calendar of events can be found here: ginoseast.com/los-angeles.
