Italian sausage in Covington LA — the Rizzo at Bruiser's is the real deal. This quarter-pound mild Italian sausage is topped with yellow mustard, grilled onions, and mild giardiniera, with the option to add spicy giardiniera (add $0.75) if you want heat.

Named after Cubs legend Rick "The Rizzo" Rizzo — a nod to the Chicago soul running through this restaurant — the Rizzo is the natural choice for guests who want something beyond a hot dog without leaving the Chicago flavor lane.

The giardiniera is house-made and the same quality you'd find at a serious Chicago Italian beef stand. The grilled onions bring sweetness and the mustard grounds it. It's a well-balanced sausage build that holds up to anything else on the menu.
