The concessions landscape has been upended at both local stadiums as both the Cubs and the White Sox are expected to have new pizza vendors this season. After 3 seasons of D’Agostino’s pizza, which I somehow never managed to try, the Cubs announced yesterday that Giordano’s is the new exclusice “pizza partner” of both the Cubs and Wrigley Field.
Meanwhile, the scuttlebutt out of Sox Fest is that Beggars Pizza will be taking over for (shudder) DiGiornos on the South Side this season. If so, this would be a major upgrade. My pizza consumption at US Cellular Field had dropped to nothing due to the horribleness that was the frozen, grocery store pizza. If the rumors are true, I might actually enjoy a slice at the old ballpark this season, something that hasn’t happened since at least 2012, if not earlier.
