“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.”
Placing an order for your favorite Portillo’s treat can be done through either the Portillo’s or DoorDash website as well as through available apps. Coming right on time for those cold Chicago winters, most Portillo’s lovers no longer have to fight the frost to get satisfy their hunger with a Portillo’s treat, but two locations, the Normal and Rockford restaurants, will not yet offer this service.
