Giordano’s, the internationally renowned Chicago-style deep dish pizza restaurant, announced the launch of its new Impossible™ premium ingredient in partnership with Impossible Foods.
The Impossible Pizza features Giordano’s signature sausage recipe prepared with the delicious Impossible meat made from plants and will be available as a Premium ingredient option for thin crust, extra thin crust, and their iconic deep dish pizzas. The new offering will be featured at 70 Giordano’s locations nationwide beginning November 5th for dine-in, carry-out, delivery, online ordering and catering. Giordano’s debut of the Impossible Pizza marks the first pizza chain to roll out the plant-based product as a pizza topping nationwide.
Giordano’s is thrilled to partner with Impossible Foods to offer customers the award-winning, plant-based meat as an alternative to their popular sausage ingredient. It’s as flavorful, satisfying and delicious as sausage from animals. Impossible meat boasts as much bioavailable iron and protein as a comparable serving of ground beef and 0 mg of cholesterol (with 14g total fat per 4 oz. serving), contains no animal hormones or antibiotics, and is kosher, halal and gluten-free certified. And because it’s made from plants, it uses 96% less land, 87% less water and 89% fewer greenhouse gas emissions compared to conventional beef from cows.

Deep dish pizza was invented in the Windy City in 1943 by Ike Sewell, founder of Uno’s Pizzeria. It became so popular that it spun into a huge national chain and inspired dozens upon dozens of other deep dish pizzerias in major cities across the world. So tuck a napkin into your collar, grab a fork and knife (you’ll need them), and celebrate.
