The Leo will be available throughout the month of May, which just so happens to be Italian Beef Month. (Extra cause for meaty celebration!) Portillo's also declares that the "heavenly creation" will channel "the passion, flavor, and pride that Chicagoans are known for — right down to the last juicy bite."

Since Pope Leo XIV was born in Chicago, Portillo's restaurant chain has launched a new Italian beef sandwich dubbed The Leo.

Restaurant chain Portillo's, founded in Chicago, is honoring newly elected Pope Leo XIV with a limited time sandwich called a "heavenly creation."
