Portillo's Begins Delivery Service

Have a craving for a Portillo's hot dog but don't feel like braving the cold temperatures to pick it up? Now you have another option (and it doesn't involve calling a friend or relative and begging him or her to do it for you). Starting Tuesday, the restaurant chain known for its hot dogs and chocolate cake will now offer delivery service at 49 locations across the country, including all of its Chicago-area locations.

Portillo's has partnered with Door Dash, which provides on-demand restaurant delivery, to create it's new service. Customers can place orders through Portillo's and Door Dash's websites or through their apps.

"It was important that we partner with a company that could support Portillo’s high-volume restaurants, especially through our lunch and dinner service," Portillo's CEO Keith Kinsey said in a statement announcing the delivery service Tuesday." DoorDash gives us flexibility and reliability to give our customers the convenience they want and the quality they have come to expect from Portillo’s."

While most of the Portillo's restaurants throughout Illinois will have delivery service, it will not be available at the Normal and Rockford locations. Delivery will be available at Portillo’s locations around Indianapolis, Milwaukee and Minneapolis.
