Garrett Popcorn has teamed up with Home Run Inn Pizza to create Chicago Pizza popcorn. The snack combines Garrett's kernels with Home Run Inn's Everything But the Pizza seasoning for a cheesy flavor reminiscent of a tavern-style pie. It can be found at Jewel, Mariano's, Binny's, and other local grocers. Garrett is no stranger to collaborations - the brand worked with Revolution Brewing in 2022 to produce a beer based on its signature CaramelCrisp popcorn.
