Hosted monthly, the Dinner Series gives the Streeterville pizzeria an opportunity to offer a special menu available for one night only. To kickstart the series on August 23rd, Robert’s Pizza has partnered up with Heaven’s Door Distillery for a Whiskey Wednesday. 

“We can’t wait for the community to join us for these special dinners,” shares Robert Garvey, owner of Robert’s Pizza & Dough Co. “We’ve wanted to offer a more intimate dining experience with guests for a while and this is a great way to get started. It also allows us to showcase our culinary team’s creative chops which has been fun for [Chef] Nelli and I.”

August’s inaugural event features a special collaboration with Heaven’s Door Distillery where each course is paired with a riff on a classic cocktail that has been barrel aging at Robert’s Pizza since early this spring. The culinary adventure begins with an Amuse Bouche and glass of prosecco followed by a menu curated by Robert Garvey and Chef Nelli Maltezos.

The Heaven’s Door Whiskey Dinner Menu Includes:

1st Course | Meatball & Arancini in Arrabbiata Sauce

  • paired with The Chicago Sour – Heaven’s Door Double Barrel Whiskey, lemon juice, simple syrup, egg whites, and a drizzle of dry red wine

2nd Course | Fennel Vichyssoise topped with Five-Spice Toasted Pine Nuts

  • paired with The Fennel & Fig – Heaven’s Door Straight Bourbon, Heaven’s Door Fig & Fennel Bitters, orange twist essence, and charred fennel sprig

3rd Course | Heirloom Tomato Pizza with Italian Buffalo Mozzarella, house-made red sauce, fresh basil, and finished with red wine vinegar

  • paired with Manhattan-Italian Style – Heaven’s Door Rye, Casals Vermouth, and walnut bitters

4th Course | Chocolate Cherry Clafoutis dusted with Espresso Powder and topped with Vanilla Bean Gelato

  • paired with The Dylan Espresso Martini – Heaven’s Door Double Barrel Whiskey, demerara, Café Borghetti Espresso liqueur, and Mr. Black Espresso
