Lou Malnati’s Introduces the Italian Combo Beef-Za

Lou Malnati’s Pizzeria has launched the Italian Combo Beef-Za. The limited-time creation features Italian beef, sausage, and giardiniera on Lou Malnati’s Buttercrust™ and is available through May 31 in honor of Italian Beef Month.

The pizzeria created the Italian Combo Beef-Za recipe inspired by Chicago-based chef Jeff Mauro. The pizza features Mauro Provisions® Italian Beef produced exclusively with Certified Angus Beef®, along with Honey G® Pepper Relish made with finely diced Mauro Provisions Medium Craft Giardiniera and Grade A honey for added crunch and sweet heat. The toppings are layered over Lou Malnati's exclusive sausage blend, vine-ripened tomatoes, mozzarella, and the brand’s signature Buttercrust.

“Italian beef and deep dish are central to Chicago’s food culture,” said Marc Malnati, owner of Lou Malnati’s. “For Italian Beef Month, we wanted to find a way to bring those classics together, and partnering with Mauro helped us do that in a way that feels true to both.”

“Lou Malnati’s has been perfecting their deep dish game for generations, and my family and I have been eating it since we were kids,” Mauro said. “This pizza keeps the heart of what makes the sandwich special while giving people a whole new way to enjoy it, and it’s all on top of the best deep dish in the game.”

The Italian Combo Beef-Za is available in deep dish, thin crust, and small gluten-free deep dish for dine-in, delivery, and carryout at all Lou Malnati's restaurants and locations across Illinois through May 31. For more information or to find the nearest location, visit: loumalnatis.com.
