Bacon Cheeseburger, Rolled Up

Old Chicago Pizza + Taproom | Based in Houston

Jeremy Underhill

Few formats lend themselves to craveable mash-ups quite like Old Chicago’s bite-sized pizza rolls, and the Bacon Cheeseburger Rolls lean fully into that strength. Created with the brand’s made-from-scratch pizza dough, the LTO transforms a classic bacon cheeseburger into a poppable shareable.

Each roll starts with golden-baked dough wrapped around a hearty filling of seasoned ground beef, crispy smoked bacon and a blend of melted cheddar and mozzarella. That rich combination is balanced by supporting players: Zesty pickles add a bright crunch, while a drizzle of the brand’s tangy comeback sauce layers in acidity and creaminess. Extra sauce on the side invites dipping, reinforcing the snackable nature of the rolls.

“The Bacon Cheeseburger Rolls are a crave-worthy creation that fuses two of Old Chicago’s most iconic flavor worlds into one unforgettable bite,” says Jeremy Underhill, executive director of operations. That fusion—burger meets pizza—is at the heart of the dish’s appeal, tapping into two comfort-food favorites at once. During its limited-time run, the Bacon Cheeseburger Rolls became one of the menu’s top-selling appetizers. “Guests loved the familiar yet inventive twist,” Underhill says.
