Crust Fund Pizza Collabs With Giordanos On 'Millennium Pork' Deep Dish For A Good Cause

Chicago, ILLocal News

Crust Fund Pizza's John Carruthers has teamed up with Giordano’s to launch the Millennium Pork deep dish pizza, with part of the proceeds supporting Share Our Spare, a nonprofit that provides essential items to families in need. Each pizza sold will contribute $2 to help ensure that babies across Chicagoland receive necessary items like diapers. Carruthers, who has been raising money for local nonprofits through his pizza business, expressed enthusiasm for the collaboration, stating that it represents a fun way to turn pizza into a force for good. The new pizza features pulled pork, BBQ sauce, banana peppers, and crispy fried onions, and is part of Giordano’s Chi-Town Flavors series, which ships nationwide. With approximately 2 million Illinoisans relying on SNAP benefits, the partnership highlights the urgent need for support in the community.

Daniel Gilland, Giordano’s director of e-commerce, noted the collaboration's potential to bring people together while benefiting local families. The Millennium Pork deep dish pizza can be ordered online while supplies last, making it accessible to a wider audience. This initiative not only promotes a unique culinary experience but also reinforces the importance of community involvement in addressing social issues.
