• Roots has 70 Midwestern craft beers plus spiked sodas and their own specially brewed, all-natural Roots Root Beer.
• Everything at Roots?from the mozzarella to the sausage to the sauce?is freshly made in-house and from scratch. As they say at Roots, ?the only thing we keep in the freezer is ice.?
• Roots pizza is cut into long, piping hot Quad Cities?style strips. Watch the dough being hand-tossed before you sink your teeth into the light and chewy crust.

Gilt City members are invited to enjoy Football Fundays for Five at Roots Handmade Pizza in Ukranian Village with a feast that includes five sausages on a stick, your choice of any two large pizzas, any three appetizers, five Roots special Bloody Marys and any two pitchers of beer. This instant party is available every Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m. through December 24.

Roots Handmade Pizza takes the time-honored tradition of Quad Cities?style pizza, with its malty crust, toppings covered in cheese and scissor-cut slices, and brings it straight across the plains of Illinois to Chicago. Didn?t realize there was a Quad Cities pizza tradition? Well, you?ll never forget it once you try this pie.

And don?t worry?no one will ask you to name the Quad Cities or even point to them on a map. This is just about football and great food with your friends.
