Why have beer with your pizza when you can have beer in your pizza?
Milwaukee's Screamin' Sicilian Pizza Co. (aka Palermo's) and Jacob Leinenkugel Brewing Company have joined forces to create a line of frozen pizzas dubbed ‘Za Brewski.
The same pizza company that recently brought you Johnsonville brat pizza now has four pies that use a crust baked with Leinenkugel’s Original, an American Pilsner brewed with pale malts and cluster hops.
The crust is available on these flavor combos:
- Philly Cheesesteak: Leinenkugel’s Original Beer-Infused Crust, Beer Cheese Sauce, Whole Milk Mozzarella, Steak Strips, Green Bell Peppers and Caramelized Onions, Parmesan and Romano
- Pepperoni: Leinenkugel’s Original Beer-Infused Crust, Beer Cheese Sauce, Whole Milk Mozzarella, Pepperoni, Diced Provolone, Parmesan and Romano
- Hot Italian Sausage & Pepperoni: Leinenkugel’s Original Beer-Infused Crust, Beer Cheese Sauce, Whole Milk Mozzarella, Sliced Hot Italian Sausage, Sliced Pepperoni, Parmesan and Romano
- BBQ Meatball: Leinenkugel’s Original Beer-Infused Crust, Beer BBQ Sauce, Whole Milk Mozzarella, Beer Glazed Mini Meatballs, Roasted Red Onions, Parmesan and Romano
It seems a shame that there's not a Johnsonville brat version, too. But, hey, there's time.
The pizzas are available at the places you usually find Screamin' Sicilians, including Piggly Wiggly, Woodman’s, Jewel, Sendik’s, Festival Foods, Harris Teeter, Hy-Vee, Price Chopper Midwest, Berkots, Caputo’s, Sunset Foods, Butera, SVT, and Kroger (aka Pick 'n Save and Metro Market).
