I've been agonizing over what to serve for my Bears watch party.
Driving the news: I think I found the answer in Giordano's special Da Pizza ($29.99 for a small) filled with meatballs, spicy pepperoni and giardiniera topped with a lucky number stenciled in parmesan.
The verdict: All these elements blend beautifully, with a thick meatball base, enlivened by tangy pepperoni and zesty giardiniera.
As someone who hosted her last Bears party 40 years ago, the cheesy stenciled 85 spoke to me deeply.
Friction point: I'm a little peeved that Giordano's is now calling its signature stuffed pizza that tucks gobs of cheese and toppings between two layers of dough "deep dish."
