Giordano's announces ice cream collaboration

Deep dish meets dessert in the LTO partnership, which will ship across the U.S.

Giordano’s, a Chicago deep-dish pizza brand, has teamed up with The Original Rainbow Cone to launch the latest installment in its “Chi-Town Flavors” series, a curated collection of Chicago food experiences shipped directly to homes across the country. A Chicagoland staple since 1926 and originating from the South Side, the ice cream brand is reportedly famous for its five-flavor, sliced-layer cone. Consumers can order a combo pack featuring Giordano’s stuffed pizza and The Original Rainbow Cone’s signature layered ice cream.

This marks the fourth collaboration in Giordano’s Chi-Town Flavors series, following partnerships with Buona Beef, Weber Grill Restaurant, and Caruso Provisions. The initiative pairs Giordano’s pizzas with offerings from fellow Chicago-born brands and makes them available for nationwide shipping through Giordano’s e-commerce platform.

“There’s something uniquely nostalgic about The Original Rainbow Cone, and pairing it with our classic deep-dish pizza brings together two of Chicago’s most craveable comfort foods,” says Giordano’s CEO Nick Scarpino. “We’re honored to launch the newest installment of our 'Chi-Town Flavors' series, capturing the joy of summer in the city, bold flavors, and shared memories all in one box.”

Customers can now choose from Giordano’s two-, three-, or four-pizza packs, which include one quart of The Original Rainbow Cone ice cream. Customers can also add a second quart for $19.99. The ice cream includes Chocolate, Strawberry, Palmer House, Pistachio, and Orange Sherbet flavors.

Founded in Chicago in 1974 and recently celebrating 50 years in business, Giordano’s is known for stuffed deep dish pizza with Wisconsin mozzarella, handmade dough, and layers of ingredients, according to the company. Building on its legacy, the brand is doubling down on its hometown pride with collaborations like these to connect even more deeply with the local flavors and partners that have made Chicago a culinary capital, it says.
