DiGiorno's a No-Go, White Sox to Bring Beggars to the Cell

The Chicago White Sox are ditching DiGiorno's and going with Chicago-based Beggars as the official pizza of U.S. Cellular Field.

It's not DiGiorno—it's Beggars.

The Chicago White Sox have signed a multi-year contract with locally owned Beggars Pizza, making it the official pizza provider at U.S. Cellular Field, Crain's Chicago Business reports. The team's deal with DiGiornio expired at the end of last season.

Beggars has been moving up the ranks of the country's top 100 largest pizza companies, recently landing in the the group's "Six Up and Comers List" at number 54 overall, according to PizzaToday.com.
