Restaurants across Chicago are gearing up for Lollapalooza-themed specials this weekend. Here’s one of the first specials to hit our inbox that piqued our interest.

Pie-Eyed Pizzeria has two pizzas inspired by headliners Black Sabbath and the Red Hot Chili Peppers that owner Evan Mueller told Chicagoist will be available Thursday through Sunday, at the very least.

The Black Sabbath pizza is an earthy mélange of black garlic pesto, black olives, applewood smoked bacon, mushrooms and arugula. The Red Hot Chili pizza reads like a five-alarm fire, with roasted red peppers, red onions, crushed red pepper, hot cherry peppers and sun-dried tomatoes.

Mueller said slices are $5 and they’re pretty big. A small pizza (14 inches) will run you $18, 16-inch medium pizzas are $21 and large 18-inch pizzas are $24. The specials will run past Sunday, depending on whether there are ingredients left over.

Pie-Eyed Pizza is located at 1111 W. Chicago Ave. and is open 11 a.m. -midnight Monday - Thursday, 11 a.m. 5 a.m. Friday, 1 p.m. - 5 a.m. Saturday and 1 p.m. - 10 p.m. Sunday
