There’s nothing neat about a perfect Italian beef sandwich — and that’s exactly the point. Saturday marks National Italian Beef Day, and Rosati’s Pizza in St. Augustine is pulling out all the stops to honor the sandwich that refuses to be ordinary.
The classic Chicago staple features savory beef piled onto hearty French bread, soaked with rich flavor and topped with sweet peppers or fiery giardiniera. It’s comfort food with attitude.
To mark the occasion, Executive Producer Tom Swider visited Rosati’s Pizza to get a taste of the celebration firsthand.
One of the first decisions any Italian beef fan has to make is how they want it served — dry, wet or dipped.
And the bread is no afterthought. Rosati’s uses a hearty French bread, specially chosen to stand up to the soaking without falling apart.
For National Italian Beef Day, Rosati’s is combining two Chicago classics into one creation: The Cheef-za. Think Italian beef meets Chicago-style pizza — in one dish.
To celebrate, From May 20th-23rd Rosati’s is offering 20% off a Cheef Sandwich or a Cheef-za with the code FBCHEEF.
