The Tranquilo Crunch

The Tranquilo Crunch returns to Minsky's on Sunday, October 11, and it'll be available there every day through December 27. It's a gourmet pizza created by Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Drue Tranquill as a tribute to his Italian heritage, and this is its third run—Tranquill is bringing it back for a third year.

If you haven't had it, here's what's on it: Italian sausage, American sausage, capocollo, and ground beef, topped with Wisconsin mozzarella, pepperoni, and a dusting of Romano and oregano. The whole thing sits on a one-of-a-kind Italian-seasoned Panko 'Crunch' crust. It's billed as Kansas City's Game Day Pizza, and it's run by Tranquill in partnership with Minsky's and the Hunt Family Foundation.

There's a charitable side to it, too. Every pizza ordered during the pro football season benefits Operation Breakthrough, a local not-for-profit started in 1971 by Sister Corita Bussanmas and Sister Berta Sailer. It's been serving Kansas City families for over 40 years, and the partnership has raised more than $170,000 for the cause so far. So, if you're ordering a pizza to watch the game, a portion of it goes back into the community.

You can find it at Minsky's Pizza across Kansas City starting October 11, and it runs all the way through December 27.
