Take the S'mores Pizza Challenge


There are some things in life you may not know about and really should. Ian's S'mores pizza is definitely one of them.

S'mores pizza you may ask? While it may sound iffy to some, this masterpiece can satiate even the biggest sweet tooth and is definitely worth a try. It's not a slice to eat for dinner (or a late night drunken munchie), but it is indeed a satisfying snack or dessert for even the most intense Chocoholic . The piece of heaven is piled with real graham cracker pieces, mini marshmallows, chocolate chips and chocolate sauce (poured on once it comes out of the oven).

The slice is a specialty that Ian's only offers during the baseball season/summer. However, as fellow blogger Victoria and I found out last night, it's not on the menu every day. We paid Ian's a visit to enjoy a piece of this "pizza," and upon our arrival spied that there was no S'mores on display. But if you ask, Ian's shall deliver: they made us one to order and we each were able to enjoy a slice a mere 15 minutes later.

We were told that the S'mores option isn't Ian's most popular (they usually have to throw some of it out at the end of the night--GASP!), and it's not all that fun to make, so Wrigleyville's go-to-pizza-stop doesn't offer it every day.

Victoria and I are now on a mission to spread the word about S'mores. Take our S'mores Challenge: expand your pizza horizons and try a slice of this unconventional flavor (I mean who really thought macaroni n'cheese or tortellini pizza would be as delicious upon first encounter?). Once you try it, come back and tell us what you think! But grab your slice before it's gone, you won't be disappointed.

***I originally wrote this as a post for RedEye Wrigleyville. It got eight comments and about 20 comments on RedEye's Facebook page. Victoria tweeted the link to Ian's and they loved it--they even said they would consider making the slice a year round option if we could make it more popular. We have plans to make t-shirts and step up the campaign. I'll keep you posted! ***
