Lou Malnati's Chicago Pizza Will Deliver to Middle East, Just This Once

Packed in dry ice, thousands of pizzas from the landmark Chicago chain Lou Malnati's will soon arrive for troops stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan as a gift from retired Air Force sergeant Mark Evans. A resident of the deep-dish capital, Evans wanted the pizzas delivered in time for July 4th to celebrate the American staple. Of course, what constitutes as "American" pie differs from region to region, as our very own Adam has dissected at length. But something tells me, even non-Chicagoan soldiers will be okay with the flaky, buttery crust.

Lou Malnati's pies can be special-ordered outside of Chicago, but usually not to the Middle East—or anywhere else outside the U.S. for that matter.
