Uno Pizzeria and Grill, the iconic restaurant brand and the birthplace of deep dish pizza, has introduced a new limited-time-only menu that features the flavors of New Orleans and Mardi Gras. With Fat Tuesday on February 13th this year, the company wanted to release the menu in advance of the celebration of Mardi Gras to give guests the opportunity to try the flavorful new items over an extended period of time.
The menu features UNO's spin on classic New Orleans dishes as well as a few completely new tasty creations. Items featured on the menu include:
Big Easy Gumbo A bowl of chicken, shrimp, and andouille sausage gumbo with rice, vegetables and classic Cajun seasoning.
Cheesy Grits and Shrimp Appetizer Shrimp sauted with bacon, onion and a housemade Makers Mark BBQ sauce served over cheesy grits.
Seasoned Fried Shrimp Appetizer Tender shrimp dusted in seasoned flour (with a tiny kick) and deep fried to a golden brown. Served with a housemade remoulade sauce.
New Orleans Pasta A delicious combination of chicken, shrimp, andouille sausage and seasoned plum tomatoes sauted with garlic, celery, and UNOs spicy alfredo sauce. Tossed with rigatoni.
Mikes Hot Honey Chicken and Cornbread In-house baked cornbread topped with crispy chicken tenders and drizzled with Mikes Hot Honey. Served with maple aioli. A hot new collab.
Cajun Ribeye and Grilled Shrimp A 10oz. Choice ribeye grilled to order with jazzy Cajun seasoning and served with a skewer of basil-marinated shrimp. Served with two sides.
Jambalaya Deep Dish Pizza A buttery deep dish dough filled with bayou-seasoned shrimp, chicken, andouille sausage, seasoned plum tomatoes, caramelized onions and celery. Topped with freshly grated mozzarella, cheddar and asiago cheeses.
Andouille Sausage Bayou Thin Crust Pizza Housemade dough and marinara sauce topped with andouille sausage, caramelized onions, mozzarella, ricotta and banana peppers.
This new menu offers our guests a fun and flavorful food experience. Having lived in New Orleans for a portion of my life, I am keenly aware that New Orleans and Mardi Gras celebrate community, food and fun. These are qualities that are alive and well in all of our UNOs locations every day. stated CEO Erik Frederick. He continued, We want to give our guests menu options that are a bit different than what you would normally see at UNOs, or any other restaurants for that matter. All of these items really kick up the flavor and spice a few notches. As they say in New Orleans Laissez les bons temps rouler! which means Let the good time roll!
To celebrate the release of the menu, UNOs is offering a BOGO 50% off deal on the Mardi Gras menu items from January 31st to February 4th. Offer is valid on all food menu items (drinks excluded from offer). The offer is valid for dine-in and participation may vary by location.
The limited-time-only Mardi Gras menu is available at most UNOs locations and is scheduled to run into April 2024.
