Big G’s Opens Its Doors Across Wrigley Field

Chicago, IL April 25, 2012 - Have you heard the big news? Cubs fans, families, local residents and pizza enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting the much-anticipated opening of Big G’s Pizza By the Slice located on 3716 N. Clark Street. On May 10th, Big G’s will begin offering gourmet specialty pizza by the slice including Mac ‘N’ Cheese, Steak ‘N’ Fries, Chicken Burrito and Shrimp Fajita just to name a few. By means of conscious innovation and experimentation, we invite you to delight your taste buds with our unconventional, mouth-watering creations.

Jaime Gamez and Manual Nicolas originally gained culinary and business experience as general manager and kitchen manager, respectively, of Ian’s Pizza over a combined 16 years.  As of last year, they formed a partnership with Jeronimo Gaytan, CEO of Big G’s to combine their passion for pizza, unique tastes and fresh, high-quality ingredients.  The Chicago twist on both local and global flavors is sure to resonate with guests.

Both Gaytan and Gamez are 1^st generation Latinos who grew up in the north-shore suburb of Highland Park and attended UW-Madison.  Currently they live within a few blocks of each other in Wrigleyville.  “It’s as if our paths were meant to cross,” says Gaytan, who is also near completion on his MBA at Lake Forest Graduate School of Management.

With a premier location across from Wrigley Field, north of Casey Moran’s, between Trace and Rawbar, just a few steps south of Smartbar and Metro, Gamez says “Big G’s will be the ideal late night spot for everyone to enjoy pizza with their friends.”

Big G’s Pizza By the Slice grand opening with the Lakeview Chamber of Commerce will take place on Thursday, May 10th from 5p.m. to 7p.m.  Special promotional prices will be offered during the evening.

Through their passion, experimental approach and unexpected ingredients Big G’s offers the tastiest gourmet pizza-by-the-slice in town.  Come try it for yourself!
