The Pizza & Beer Authority Debuts in Sioux City, IA Beginning Today, Jan. 14
Old Chicago Pizza & Taproom, a national casual dining restaurant known for its delicious, handcrafted pizza and vast craft beer selection, announced today that it has opened its first location in Sioux City, Iowa at 5030 Sergeant Road. The restaurant will create nearly 120 jobs for the area. To celebrate the opening in Sioux City, Old Chicago Pizza & Taproom has partnered with local charity, Food Bank of Siouxland. One dollar from every Chicago 7 and Meat Me specialty pizza ordered after 3 p.m. this month through February 12 will be donated to the organization, which helps serve more than 100 local community charities with feeding programs to nourish the needy, the ill and children.
“The Food Bank of Siouxland has a long history of serving the Sioux City area, and we’re proud to partner with them to help raise funds to end hunger in the community,” said Scott Green, Old Chicago Pizza & Taproom franchisee. “We look forward to introducing everyone in Sioux City to our freshly, handcrafted pizza and world-class craft beers this month while helping out an incredible local organization such as the Food Bank of Siouxland.”
Old Chicago Pizza & Taproom offers an expansive menu ranging from shareable appetizers and fresh salads to taproom classics including hearty burgers and handcrafted pizzas. Since its inception, Old Chicago Pizza & Taproom has been committed to serving the highest quality pizza and craft beer the right way. Old Chicago Sioux City will feature a variety of regional and local craft beers from breweries such as Iowa’s own Millstream Brewing Company. Also, among the variety of 14 specialty pizzas guests may choose from, these two most popular pizzas will benefit the Food Bank of Siouxland:
- Chicago 7 – Pepperoni, Italian sausage, red onions, black olives, green peppers, sliced mushrooms and signature house pizza sauce.
