Chicago's Very Own Eats with Kevin Powell and Michael Piff

Piece Pizzeria & Brewery owner/operator Bill Jacobs returned to the Chicago’s Very Own Eats podcast, and he brought a special guest with him. Bill and Doug Sohn of Hot Doug’s have teamed up to kickoff the annual ‘Slice To Meet You’ campaign, supporting PAWS Chicago. From January 9th to February 8th, you can order their ‘Bill and Doug’s Excellent Adventure’ pizza, a white New Haven pizza with sliced Yukon potatoes, Hot Doug’s Hungarian sausage, scallions and Pecorino, horseradish cream sauce. A vegetarian option is available as well. With every purchase of the $35 pizza, $70 will be donated to PAWS Chicago, the Midwest’s largest no-kill shelter. Orders and donations can be made on PAWSChicago.org. Adoptable dogs will be featured on the Piece pizza boxes. Since 2023, ‘Slice to Meet You’ has raised $90,000 for PAWS Chicago.

Bill and Doug joined Kevin Powell and Michael Piff to talk about the ‘Slice To Meet You’ project, how they first met over a decade ago, meeting Anthony Bourdain, shout-outs to some of their favorite restaurants, and yes, the Chicago Bears. Bill also breaks some news on who he will be collaborating with for Part II and Part III of the of the Slice To Meet You campaign. Listen for more below:
