• Giordanos pepperoni deep dishp pizza (2 lb 4 oz)
• Penne with sausage, onion, and peppers pasta (1 lb 8 oz)

Send someone a taste of Italy that's deliciously simple to prepare. The stuffed deep-dish pepperoni pizza is from Giordano's, recognized as "Chicago's best pizza" by the New York Times and others. The 10" pie is handmade with generous slices of extra-thick pepperoni layered over melty mozzarella, then shipped frozen in an insulated cooler filled with dry ice. We've paired it with a tray of bake-and-serve penne tossed with pork sausage, bell peppers, onions, and tomato basil sauce, then topped with Parmesan cheese. There's enough here to delight a crowd or to keep the lucky recipient satisfied for days, if not weeks.
